Definitely a bargain via GP!
Must admit the setting looks great. Just a shame it is a Soulslike!

1 review said it gets really hard late on and you can't go off to level up as it's very linear.
The vids I've watch made me think it was more open.

Mmmhmm well it is the story of pinnochio so it's only right you should try and get your nose to grow.

I’m not fussed about a linear level. Sometimes you just don’t need to decide whether or not the left branch is the critical path or a health potion.

Just sounds like you might need to give it a long hard bashing and you might end up with a happy ending?

Polygon review :‘Looks like Bloodborne, plays like Sekiro. Perfect parries needed in boss battles and later game’
It’s not for me,I can’t reliably parry owt.

Depends on how they're implemented and the timing window. I couldn't parry for shit in Sekiro, but was an absolute parry god in The Surge 2 and Ghost of Tsushima.
This looks great but I do feel like Miyazaki/From should be getting at least a 20% cut of the profits.

Yeah it’s all about how telegraphed the parryable moves are and how big the parry window is. Ghost of Tsushima it was almost too easy to parry everything. Sekiro much less so. You have to assume this will be more like the latter though.

Fuck's sake, between this and Lords of the Fallen in October, I'm never going to get DadFE to play Nioh (which he also wanted to do in the first place, mind), am I??

From the demo the parry window was huge so shouldn't be an issue for most people.

Same with Nioh and latterly Wo Long. But I couldnt parry anything in bloodborne, largely because it runs like shit. The parry did seem ok in the demo, it was the dodge that was the problem but that seems to be fixed? "I can parry fine in bloodborne" |

And I doubt I can drop a summon for him when we're playing on the same account  |

They'll improve the dodge from the demo by the sounds of things, but still incentives parrying. Do it enough times and you break enemy's weapons, even the bosses

I came so close to quitting...and am obviously so glad I didn't! Took me days if I recall correctly, with breaks to control my rage in between attempts. :-D |

Something about this looks terminally dull. I don't know if it just looks too close to Bloodborne (but with a far less compelling theme) but all the footage I've seen is so uninteresting

It's the animations and acting.
It's all a bit wooden.

I came so close to quitting...and am obviously so glad I didn't! Took me days if I recall correctly, with breaks to control my rage in between attempts. :-D Hino-Enma is actually over and done with on his old file from way back when he was still playing. It's the Umi-Bozu he got stuck on (as for 2, he'd be starting fresh). We also discussed him just taking over/copying my old file (IIRC I got past Yuki-Onna before stopping for one reason or another) and playing through the earlier missions with a slightly beefier character to get a feel for things. No such luck in 2 though, taking my endgame character to NG missions wouldn't teach him much and NG+ would probably wreck him |

Fitting for puppets and steampunk mechs, then, I suppose... Which obviously, as a theme, isn't for everyone, different strokes for different folks and all that. But hey, it's on GamePass so can't hurt to give it a shot at least Aunt Alison |

Eurogamer have taken the 3/5 approach.
Too often you find yourself trapped in impossible situations, dying because you didn’t do the exact right thing at the exact right time. You’ll get blocked into a corner, unable to see attacks to parry them and physically incapable of dodging past the enemies. Some enemies can knock you down with one attack and then repeatedly pummel you into the ground, and all you can do is watch as your almost-full health bar disappears.

I did laugh when the review had to call out a major criticism of the game being having no difficulty settings. For a Soulsborne game.
