I have really been looking forward to this game. I sat down to play it and was amazed at the graphics and atmosphere. Shortly after the opening, we (as the player) are warned that you can only die a few times and the game is over. OK, I am sure they factor in a learning curve, right? So I am on the 3rd fire gate (less than 45 minutes into the game). You have to run from the idol through the fire to the next door. So far, I have died 6 times trying to get from one end to the other. The first time, I got trapped in the fire. 2 times, I fell off the board into the fire, and 3 times, the monsters got me. so, as I see it,
The swordplay, is not bad.. but the movements are leaden and heavy. I can imagine a lot of people will get much out of the skillfully rendered atmosphere, but for me the intensity is not balanced out with the gameplay, you cannot traverse simple obstacles, you plod along, and if the story is your main goal, great, if not... look elsewhere.

NOTE : this is how i feel about the game, please Take with a grain of salt.

Tip: use mirror focus to insta-heal Senoa also time your blocks perfectly so you build up mirror focus and lastly kicks build mirror focus the fastest

The fire god thing was difficult but half your deaths sounds like you weren't even paying attention so ♥♥♥♥ you xD I thought the permadeath thing was a mechanic, but if you think about what she's going through it makes sense in a few ways. I won't argue your skillful ways of dying punishable by lives and inevitable restart is a bit extreme she dies as if it was in her mind, but isn't that what the game showed after the first battle? your at the beginning 10% of the game if you lose the game just learn what you need to and restart you're literally basically at the starting point.

You can't call a gameplay heavy when absolutly EVERY action is cancelable.

With love, a dark souls fan.

Ps: i agree on the fact that for a game that punish death(s) harshly i was kinda disapointed too to die for the most absurd reasons or bugs but not by a single ennemy(execpt when the game wants it ofc). Frustrating but yet i still enjoyed the game a lot. It's basically PTSD simulator 2017.

People should not be aloud to reveiw a game unless they have a minimum of 4 hours.

At least finish half the game before ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on it

I understand where you're coming from the movement does take some getting used to but you cannot blame the game for your shortcomings. If you are about to fall off the board simply strafe the other direction, as for the monsters getting you, my best tip is to not be greedy with swings and to try and land parries as much as possible as they are extremely rewarding.

Lol, I refunded the game because the combat and game was too easy and boring. That and I generally think that if it's an interactive story I'll just watch it on youtube or something.
