I beat the demo yesterday and overall had a pretty good time. I think they need to make the dodge happen a bit faster after input, right now I feel like there’s a bit of lag. Blocking and parrying is good once you know an enemies timing.

For the story, I’m not sure if I like how hands on it is compared to Fromsoft games. Generally I prefer games with more clear stories but it’s also harder to ignore a bad story in that format. Also while the areas in game can be pretty I don’t see a lot of backtracking happening from one area to another one. Each one feels pretty closed off which makes it harder for Krat to feel like an actual city. Might be unfair to judge that just based off the demo though.

Not sure if I’ll buy it at full price or if I’ll get it at a discount in the future. I’ll probably wait for reviews and base it off that. The demo did a good job getting the game on my watch list though since I’d never heard of it before the SGS trailer.

Never finished 3 but this might finally be a good excuse to!

I’m surprised it’s releasing so close to FF XVI? Thought for sure they would give it more time.

Still excited for this though! I still need to beat remake on hard mode
