Doesn’t look like Kotaku was satisfied with their experience.

Who cares. That little snippet isn’t at all my experience from the bit I played last night. The game is gorgeous. Doesn’t really feel like souls to me. Maybe boss fights a little bit but it’s more like the newer god of war games to me.

And that’s really fricked up that a review was based on something other than the game itself

Get with the program. There is nothing else gamers need to hear!

Giant beetle ded first attempt.

probably easiest fight of the game. probably because he's big and slow.

How’s the game after a few days of playing it? Looking to pick this one up.

Good. Punishing at times but I just read max level is 342. I just hit level 40 after finishing chapter 2... lol. I need to grind a lot in chapter 3. there are 6 total chapters. 2 was longer than 1 so we will see if they all get longer as you go.

Im somewhere between 15-20 hours through 2 chapters and I didn't 100% either. Steam says 24 hours played but After the first day it did say 10 hours when I only played 2... don't know if that was fixed or not.

had 2 crashes so far. usually after playing a long time so probably a slow memory leak. I also run discord, 2 browsers and sometimes spotify at the same time on my other monitor.

Game has 322,498 mostly positive reviews on steam currently.

After reading some of the reviews, I was starting to flirt with jumping on board at full price until I hit this one:
quote:


Played for atleast 4 hrs and 4-5 bosses. fighting mechanics are good but not for km players. key mapping changeability is very limited. can not assign keys to a particular action. no option for mouse button 4 and 5 key mapping

That's... unfortunate. Oh well, back to waiting for a future sale

You can customize keybinds. just cant set them to mouse buttons or num pad.

Only even a mild issue with your spells 1-4, but the cooldowns are long and you get an audible sound when they come off cooldown... so moving from A or W to 1234 is not that big of a deal. It's not as though you'll need to use them often.

Not being able to set dodge to MB4 would be a major muscle memory problem for me.

Eta: And I know I could go into icue and remap my mouse keys to keyboard keys, then remap them in game. I’ve done it before on older games. I’m simply not willing to do that kind of work to buy a game at full price.

How close to Elden Rings gameplay is this?

flasks, shrines (graces/bonfires), and enemies respawning when you rest at a shrine. That’s about it.

I guess my question is if it is a game of just dying until you learn the timing. I had to ditch ER because I do not have the time to put into a game like that

Keep in mind that I haven't played it, so I don't have personal experience. With that said, the general consensus seems to be that it's easier than Elden Ring, but some people feel very strongly in the opposite direction. With that said... yes, you're going to have to learn the moveset of each boss. That's just part of the gameplay loop.

Here's a reddit thread on your exact question: LINK

I hope the same company does a sequel off Norse mythology.

I doubt the Chinese company that made a highly successful Chinese mythology game with a massive Chinese player base will shift to Norse mythology on the next one.

I’ve read wukong is supposed to be the first of a series of black myth games based in Chinese mythology.

You also get help fighting him after a point. It was a really easy fight.

Combat is starting to open up and be a lot more fun. If you can get resolute counterflow to hit it’s pretty devastating to enemies
