Anyone following this? Releases next Tuesday, 25th May. Not seen much hype but looks to be some cool ideas, could be a lot of fun

Yeah, I'm happy it's finally going to make it out - it's been in development for quite a while. It's definitely got a certain something though, and hopefully it will have been worth the wait!

Been following it for years but I am still on the fence. It is not worth a day one purchase. I will keep an eye on it and check reviews before deciding down the line.

Looks cool, but then as above the crappy cartoon bubbles for attacks is cringe, and there doesn't seem a lot to do outside of roam around to locate enemies then hack and slash your way past them. I had hoped more depth, like Jak and Dexter or Ratchet and Clank as it looks kinda like those titles.

It does look very fluid and the world looks detailed and beautiful. I am still going to wait for a few more full reviews to hit.
My main issue at the moment is that Game Pass has SOOO much for me to play at the moment I have no idea where I would find the time to play this.

As I said to the lads earlier, this has 'coming to gamepass' written all over it. going to wait and see.

Aye, looks like that to me too, I'd play it on GP but doesn't look worth a buy, maybe for €20 tops

Just wait... It will be coming to game pass. They will get whatever revenue they can from a month or two of sales and then Microsoft will pay them a chunk to add it to game pass.

It has game pass written all over it. I will 100% give it a go on game pass.

refunded it after an hour and a half.

Looks nice and all, but it's a pretty dull combo driven rpg.

character selection is good, nice little spin on what your character will look like based on attribute levels.

Like i said, it's pretty. character moves well, for the most part. i did get stuck climbing a chain at one point then glitched back to where i started.

Unskippable tutorial stuff, which is mostly very very basic.. fcukin annoying. I made two characters, 1 ranged and 1 melee - same with both.

combat is good but if i wanted to play streetfighter or tekken, i'd play them.
KB/Mouse setup is just not right for this type of game.

It feels more like a beat'em up than an RPG, which is fine if that's your thing, it's just not mine.

There's literally no story to speak of in the first hour, you get one choice (dark or light) at the start then the usual combat, exploring and questhub, all the while being stopped midstep by tutorials.

Frustrating.

I guessed as much from even the earliest snippets they put out, they showed the character run across what first appeared like wide open plains [until you realise most of the area looks much the same and there's nothing to do but run through] get into some random, bland attack and slash fights, then run along to the next

Oh dear ... anyone who's bought the game just ignore ...
