I bought it today. Supporting new IP and weird games.

 

[El Muerto]

I rented it through Gamefly and sent it back next day. Combat is souls-like and it's incredibly mundane and slow. Sometimes the boss just stands there and doesnt attack which makes the fights last longer as you have to parry to do real damage. Everything else about it is neat. I was just under the impression it was like Silent Hill or Siren when it indeed isnt.

You can stack a damage boost by constantly body swapping. Combat becomes more interesting when you unlock more characters and upgrades, which will enable you to have more variety in your approach.

Did the same. Glad there was a demo so I could make my own decision. The atmosphere is amazing .

Downloaded the demo to check it out, but what I saw in reviews doesn't fill me with hope.

 

[John Bilbo]

I think I'll try the demo tomorrow. Thank you for the heads up!

I really wanted to do this but I found the demo painfully boring.

I have too many games that I actually want to play to spend $30 here unfortunately.

 

[John Bilbo]

The demo was interesting! I couldn't fully grasp the combat system yet as it does it's own thing but I like it. The idea of changing bodies during combat and building a combo that way is great.

You didn't get the memo? Everything is an Xbox now.

Checked the demo, liking the vibe but it already felt repetitive after 5 minutes.

It’s not souls like at all…They had a great idea but you can tell they were lacking budget with cutscenes and animation. It was just too obvious. I’m sorry you thought it was similar to Siren or Silent Hill. I was hoping to be more like Siren. Sure isn’t. Just a bunch of mechanics we have seen before in a new form.

Combat gets extremely challenging and in depth. Its easily my top action game this year. Status effects, body swapping, counters, 8 way parry, AoEs, raising bodies and healing. I finished it on Nightmare. You don't have to wait to parry. You can constantly hop bodies to reposition and flank. You are encouraged to flank to damage the human body to disable curses and unlock items.

Its a divisive game though. Won't be for everyone.

I loved The Surge 1+2 so i'm used to the 8 way parry. But comparing the combat in this to The Surge just isnt as satisfying. Might give it another go when it drops to $10 if it gets better. It gave me psp jank game vibes.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Disappointed in this release. He could have topped Silent Hill, Siren, Etc... but, no... circling back to disappointment.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

This game is pretty similar to Eternights imo. Which I’m down with. Loved Eternights. Not scary but hacking with abilities and parries.

 

[SenkiDala]

I'm downloading the PS4 demo since I don't have access to a PS5 currently. I was looking forward to this game, huge fan of Silent Hill and also love Gravity Rush... but 60€ and no physical edition in EU removed all my hype for the game. Sadly a digital only game, for me, won't be purshased at more than 15€, we're still far from it.

I don't understand, shitty indy games that will sell 250 copy have physical releases but this one no ? Come on...

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Eh might as well give it a try now. Tomorrow it's demo time.
