Anyone else interested in this or picking it up? It looks pretty good to me, at least visually. I’m really happy to get more action games that aren’t souls likes and I’m very curious what gamefreak can bring to the table in a game not named Pokémon


People have gone hands on with it which to my knowledge was solely the access media are gushing over it FWIW if you value their input. Usually when a game isn’t in any way politics adjacent and they all are unanimous in their praise imo they’re likely telling it how it is

Same

I’m really glad and think it’s super awesome character action games are making a fearsome return from when they basically didn’t exist during the ps4 generation and everything that was an action game was mostly a souls like and some rare hack and slashes

Tides of annihilations is another character action game coming i think looks dope

It isn’t.

It’s a character action game

At least thats my understanding of it. I could be wrong of course im not totally positive I just havent seen it described that way anywhere.

If anything it would be more a sekiro like than souls

Not sure what you're talking about honestly.

Oh damn that is disappointing

I hadn’t seen it called that anywhere. My bad.

hope the game is still good but we have far too many souls likes.

Fingers crossed it’s a rare high quality one like lies of P

Hopefully the new tomb raider is good and that is a proper tomb raider game

An action adventure game that can scratch that uncharted itch

If they do some bullshite like shove light rpg mechanics into I’m gonna crash out

luckily I still haven't played cyberpunk so I have it on the back burner, but it looks pretty bleak the rest of the year

This game can't get here soon enough. Haven't had a game to play since Crimson Desert.

Not sure what you're into, but from August on, it's jam packed with awesome games. Especially September.

Wish they couldve put some of these games out in June and July. I haven't even turned my PlayStation on in over a month.

Definite buy for me. A lot of those mechanics and descriptions sounds right up my alley. Game looks beautiful as well. Also only 60$ so that is worth supporting.

The access media is gushing about this game as much as they can at this time as they’re all under embargo.

I don’t really trust them most of the time but there is nothing really political about this game or any other angle that would provide alternate motives for praising the game.

I’m guessing it ends up with a high 80s meta score like 88% but if it actually has a good story to go along with what appears to be very strong gameplay I could see it hitting into the low 90s.

My hype for it is definitely building.
