Let's get the gameplay aspect out of the way first.

It is flashy. For the most part, if you have some good units, you don't have to worry about most of the encounters. Some fights will force you to actually read the attacks and passives set before you, so don't think it's some sort of free gacha. other times, you may be fallen to its coin flip gacha. Sometimes, a bad run is just a bad run because you flipped awfully. Unless you're hunting for the hardest of content, hitting "winrate" won't do it for you.

The gacha, or rolling to see you get the one you want, mechanic? It's quite low, but does advertise your chances to you. If you want to guarantee getting something, you'll need to use your sinner shards for that! Although, it isn't too difficult if you grind the battlepass or buy the premium battlepass thing.

However, it's that story that really draws you in. At first, you will have favorites. Yet, as the cantos go on, you begin to see most of the cast as equal; it becomes harder to choose who you don't really like. Every character has their moments or will have their moments. The longer they don't have their canto, the more you get to know this skin-deep side of them.

Yet, this skin-deep assessment of them is never really boring. You spend so much time with them that you might find it hard to declare any of them as boring to read through aside from those that might be designed to be a mouthpiece for instructions like Meursault. However, you may begin to think how their canto will look like. How will they act when it is their time to face the music?

If you are like me, you may see all the popular anime and want something different. Something that is fresh, no matter how "perfectly" one franchise captures the modern day supernatural/SoL, fantasy, or sci-fi/cyberpunk ideas. They follow a trend and don't move too far away from it. Limbus Company offers something different with its dystopian, supernatural-cyberpunk setting and philosophical ideas; it isn't preaching per se, but offers the ideas & philosophy of humanity. Not only that, it offers challenges to those ideas. If there is one thing I desire out of a setting it is the want to provide any side with sufficient understanding of the opposite. How else would it be realistic, even if it isn't trying to be realism, without such an idea?

You really should experience it even if you don't like gacha even if you don't like previous Project Moon games (which do provide context for a number of things, but isn't required). Just play it, go through the first few Cantos, and then see if you want to continue from that or not. I wouldn't diss you for not going through with the rest after that, but it's like watching all of DBZ even if in this the pacing is a hell of a lot better. if you don't have some sort of interest after Canto 3, I don't think you'd care for the rest of the game no matter how good the story is sadly.

A lot of it is just taken from the books they reference, but the additional twists and how they incorporate into the world is fantastic if not intriguing at times. It might even make you want to read the reference materials just to get the full story.

You are SCUM that must pay off your debt to SOCIETY in a monster-hunter like.

I've never really got into Monster Hunter, but I have played quite a bit of Freedom Wars on PS VITA. If you were a fan of it on the Vita, there's no reason not to get it on PC. If you DIDN'T play it on Vita, then set your expectations appropriately when getting a Vita port. There's a handful of maps and environments to explore along with upgraded versions of weapons being mostly a skin change. There's only so much that 4K textures can do for the game, and the cutscenes seem to not have the same treatment as it's easy to see artifacting if you've got a big screen.

I wouldn't consider the story anything too special, but, as was common with Vita RPGs, there's plenty of NPCs littered around the place you can talk to that add just a lil' bit more something to the world building.

Severing a part is a hand exercise if you don't weaken it first, guns are just a weak ranged option, and I just use my thousand-folded katana's fully charged-up heavy attack to annihilate Abductors since it does plenty of damage and can do it twice before they fully recover. Still, it provides a fun experience for what it is.

Deadly Sinner Mode seems to be a "make my life harder for no reason" deal. You can turn it on and off as you like. You get some stickers, codenames, and a darker icon next to your years left.

As for crashing/lagging, I haven't experienced a single crash while playing. There has been one moment where the game stuttered, but that's been about it.

CA just wants to take your money and run with it. If they blow it all on slots, they'll just come back, give you a slap, and say it's your fault. Although, it doesn't seem like this strategy will last very long. Already lost $100 million in this fiscal year and that was before Pharaoh's flop.

"We're a people-first company" CA says as it lays off dozens of employees and tell its staff to ignore criticism about these price increases and who knows whatever else.

Thank God I still have the privilege to talk on the steam forums for this game at least. I remember reading about that feature when the trailer for TWW3 first came out. Thankfully no bugs with that, but maybe they'll release some $5 DLC that lets you drop the f-bomb every 20 posts.

TWW3 is a fine game on its own, delivers everything you might want, but the recent DLC with that price tag has been quite disappointed. Looking at Steam Charts, seemed no one else really cared either about it.

If you got any interest in the game, focus on sales or sites that offer decent deals all the time for TWW3. Or maybe Uncle Rob from CA will let you try it for free.

One of the best beat 'em ups I've played. Nice, gorey gameplay with a heck of a lot more depth than I first thought. Every time I put it down, I had to come back for more 20 minutes later.

Only problem is the lack of online play. Remote Play doesn't really function for me. So, there was no feasible way to play with my friend unless I put them on a plane to come all the way over to my home.

Pyro is a tricky henchmen. He's not that hard to get, thankfully. It's, like, 5 missions and 3 of them are steal thing and research it. One of them is defeating Pyro.

The good things about pyro:
+ Pyro him/herself. Nothing really beats a pyromaniac in a gas mask wandering down the hallway in terms of style.
+ Tanky fellow!
+ Attacking an enemy (or an ally standing in front of him) with Pyro for a few seconds will set them on fire, meaning they run, like, 8 spaces away. This helps with Pyro staying alive as they can't attack while their flesh melts and blood boil. They can also run into your traps.
+ Armageddon spews forth a fire explosion around the Pyro after a short activation period. I find this useful when I have Super Agents spawning in with their agent teams, since they're usually grouped up. Ezpz cooked agents.

The bad things about Pyro:
- Friendly fire. As the Pyro attacks and explodes, there's a chance everything around him will go up in flames. As long as you micromanage him, you shouldn't run into any half-the-base-on-fire incidents. Or have enough fire extinguishers around.
- Not a single Mmmhprfh! Completely silent. I mean, Pyro never really made any noises in the TF2 comics, but it wouldn't hurt to have one or two in the recruitment cutscene or when moving/attacking.
- He has an ability where he can put out an ally's flames or make an enemy more fiery. I've only been able to do this once, though. Every other time it didn't really work. Maybe that's just because of how henchmen handle doing an action while around enemies since they really love attacking the closest enemy instead of following your orders.

pretty cool they made a video game based on those one characters from Girls Frontline. Didn't see any mention of t-dolls, Sangvis, or G&K, tho, so don't think it's canon.

Truly the Dark Souls of medieval games. It really makes you feel like you're a knight in full plate armor getting taken out by a half naked man with a lute.
