What kind of game is this? Like an fps or?
I'd say it is more akin to Devil May Cry than any Souls game.
wait hold on did Remedy accidentally stumble onto a good combat loop for this one?
I'd say so. It's been pretty awesome so far. I have a few tiny complaints about the camera and enemy targeting but other than that it's fun as hell.
Melee focused souls-like, set around a secret government organisation that catalogues and controls paranatural objects, people, and events.
Eh I'm not sure about that, though I've only played a couple of hours so far.
Shares more DNA with something from Platinum imo. This is not meant to be a judgement on the quality of the game as I generally love Platinum's games.
Edit: maybe a better comparison would be the modern Ninja Gaiden games (though not as difficult. Not yet at least)
It's definitely not a soulslike. There's no stamina, you don't have to commit to attacks (can interrupt them mid swing by dodging). There's double jumps, dashes, no estus, no bonfires.
Yeah exactly. More like the modern Ninja Gaiden games maybe?
Yeah I think that's right. I'm about 6hrs in now. I'd say it's easier, but similar.
And like so, all my interest in this sequel is gone. Really liked the first game, bit cannot stand any of the souls games combat.
It's not a soul like. Like at all.
And it's not all that different from the combat in the first game besides being melee instead of gun
Other people says it is not souls-like but it is sad that they changed the style at all. I was also enjoying the first game.
Is my favorite boy back in sentient VHS tape form?
Dr Darling?
Yea, found one of his videos sofar
