If you are a fan of games like Chivalry , Mordhau , Mount&Blade or even the Jedi Knight games and you thought this would be same-ish and therefore fun, you would be mistaken.
1. There is messy and unresponsive WoW-style tab targeting that leads to 1v1+X fights being extremely clunky. Enemies surround you in an instant meanwhile your camera is hard-locked on one of them so you don't know WTF is even going on. The devs would call this "realistic", I call it bad game design.
2. "Master Strike" makes 1v1 combat an absolute joke. You are punished by the CPU for swinging at it with your sword. It will block and counter your attack. Likewise, you can learn to do the same to the CPU. Which means all you ever do (if you play optimally) is just wait until the enemy attacks, press Q and counter for free damage. repeat until enemy is dead. 0 Skill involved. 0 counter against it. Because of this, all the directions you can attack from don't matter because if you are attacking you are doing something wrong in the first place.
3. The game is so hyper realistic, bows are somehow harder to aim with in this game than in real life!

Graphics are not very impressive, yet this game also runs poorly. However, it can be beautiful to look at. Especially the outdoors scenery, meaning the fields, hills and woods and whatnot. It catches the medieval atmosphere really well.

The story also seems pretty good. Haven't progressed that far (beat the first major boss) but the main character's motivations and goals get established pretty early and I do want to know what will happen next.

Non the less, I am deeply disappointed by the gameplay which to me is by far the most important part of a video "game". Hope the second game will not be such a clunky snoozefest in terms of combat. Forcing me to download a mod to make the gameplay good, this one has rightfully earned a downvote in my opinion.

gefällt mir nicht

AUF KEINEN FALL MIT TASTATUR & MAUS SPIELEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dieses Spiel so zu spielen ist unzumutbar und ihr seid selbst Schuld, wenn ihr euch so das Erlebnis kaputt macht.
Wenn ihr keinen Controller habt, kauft es nicht.
Die Grafik suckt hart, Alles ist richtig verschwommen und sieht dadurch wie Kotze aus,
aber das kann man mit Mods beheben.

Rein vom Gameplay her kann ich's nur empfehlen, denn:
-Es ist schwer(Man muss die Attacken von Bossen und auch von normalen Gegnern kennen, um zu parieren und auszuweichen)
-hat ein mega geiles Kampfsystem(Da merkt man, wie simpel und schlecht z.B. Skyrim's Kampfsystem vergleichsweise ist)
-ne schöne aber komplizierte Story
-ein schönes Level-Up-System(wieder vgl. Skyrim)
Und es macht richtig Laune, auch wenn man anfangs oft stirbt. Sehr oft.

Dark Souls mit Controller = Best game of all time
