I've downloaded the demo ready to test it but I've not been able to drag myself away from Diablo 4 yet. Looking forward to trying it out, every clip I've seen of it oozes quality.

Enjoyed this. Better than most souls likes.
As with any souls style game. At least give it to the boss. I did feel the faster combat with dexterity weapon was more fun.

The game is out on gamepass - it seems a little easier than the demo the dodge is definitely a bit better and the parry timing is not quite as tricky to pull off.
I've only beaten the first policeman boss and then farmed my health to 15 stamina to 7 and the strength stat (motivity) to 12. I've gone for the caveman strength build - so far seems very good.

Good news about the dodge and the parry. Those two things in the demo were putting me off buying (ps5). I loved the atmosphere and the story is intriguing. But yeah, not up to fromsofts standards, but seemingly has a place as it's own game.

I've been experimenting with various weapons and at the minute I've settled on an electrified club - it does huge damage and stuns enemies but remains quite quick.
The game plays like a cross between Dark Souls and Sekiro. The rally system is pretty cool - if you take damage whilst blocking the health you lose is greyed out and each hit you respond with to the same enemy earns your health back.
Another cool system is if you get to no heals left - every attack you connect with earns you a small chunk of your health pack back - it takes long enough to earn it back that it's not too easy but it's great when you think a boss has bested you and you managed to grab an extra heal to get the win.

Been enjoying this myself. Like the post above my favourite weapon at the moment is the electric club, builds up the electric affect and stuns enemies. Not sure if it does damage over time?
Takes me a few times to get bosses down but get there in the end lol not the best at these sort of games but keep plodding along.
The rally mechanic is good to, similar to what Bloodborne had. So it does reward you for being aggressive.
Lovely looking game to on the Series X.
So far would recommend it specially if you're on Gamepass.

Spent about an hour with this yesterday and I'm not sure this is for me. Very hit and miss whether I can get a guard break or dodge correctly and combat ends up being a button masher. Got as far as the first boss, who wrecked me a number of times before I quit. Playing on the SX and the game looks almost monochromatic but performance seemed stable. Will give it another go this evening.
I tried the xcloud game pass version of this for an hour yesterday and then bought it for ps5. Loving it so far. It got the dank and urgency of Bloodborne, the left arm of sekiro and the enemy placement of souls. Proper love letter to From Soft. It also runs at a perfect 60fps and it bloody beautiful.

Don't be like me and sleep on weapon assembly. Pairing the wrench head with a quick handle is op. Pay attention that the blade and handle have matching slash/stab damage types and also scale with your motivity/advance or dex stats of choice. Another nice pairing is the fire dagger blade with the great sword handle for ranged fire damage.

Lance McDonald said this is harder than all the souls games. Anyone agree? I thought the demo was hard but it was at the start of the game and wasn't the release version so not as fine tuned.

It's definitely hard - I had to farm for a while today to level my capacity stat so I could use my new weapon creation - the wrench head on the baton handle. This finally helped me beat the Cathedral boss who was pretty tough.

This game just keeps getting better and better. Some of the bosses are excellent - hopefully the game sells well so we get either dlc or a sequel.

I've hit a bit of a wall with the swamp boss - his 2nd phase keeps beating me. I've had a couple of runs where I got close to beating him. I've tried both strength (wrench and baton handle) and also changed the build to advance (fire blade and crystal spear handle).
I think I'm being too aggressive in the 2nd phase which is fine when the spectre is alive but even when using the cube to give him health he never lasts the full fight.

Stuck on a 2 stage boss, first stage was pretty easy so I knew he was gonna come back again. Think I've had about 30 attempts so far ffs lol. Time to re-evaluate my tactics.
