Steelrising

I'd usually give a game more of a go before deciding Its not for me but the amount of time I spent getting hung up on invisible environmental barriers in just the time I spent in the game was enough for me.

No idea why people diss on the game so much. It's not as difficult as FROM games but so what. Not every game needs to make you wanna pull your hair out. There were a few bugs, nothing game breaking. The game looks beautiful and I like the sound and level design too. Some guy was talking about wandering around lost or something... Hasn't happened to me once, directions are pretty intuitive, but you won't get much hand holding. Another guy was complaining about the game being 70% in french villages... I mean come on... Are you real? Where is a game set around the time of the French Revolution supposed to take place? In Tokyo? Idiotic take. Is it worth 60 bucks? No. Grab it on sale, and enjoy yourself. I got it now for 6 euros... IMHO that's a steal for a game like this. It's definitely different than the rest, if nothing else for it's setting. I'm almost 3 hours in, in one sitting, glued to the screen. That's good enough for me.

fun game runs great addictive

Is a bit of a meh game, good graphic, good design as 1700 Paris during the revolution, nice details a bit linear maybe, but with a decent story and sides. lot of work is been putting on design and art. Is enjoiable. Bad things, NO MAP, you have a compass but it let you runnig around quite a bit, expecially if you have lots of side quests runnig. You need to find "ecos" to follow the story and unlock quests and without a map is a royal pain to get around. maybe too many enemies to get rid of, not a bad things, but the issue is that they respawn every time you use a saving point to upgrade. No saving random, so if you have to leave the game or die you lose all the progress and souls(the game value used for upgrading as well). Last but not least, I tried not to use assist mode, grind my way, ugrading and try to go on. after 2 hours of grinding and still just arrive in Paris I decide to use assist mode ( practicaly a god mode) and on my opinion is the only way to enjoy this game and not get assaulted by frustration, I assure you even with 100% resistant enemies still challenging. At the end of the review what, they did a great job on design and quests, but they put some annoing option…

I've been spoiled by good games that are tagged "souls-like" because they've got challenging combat (but are actually good games with functional mechanics), and forgot that the namesake was sluggish tedious garbage. This game is souls-like in that the controls are bad, movement is painfully slow, and combat is incompetently implemented. They definitely spent a lot of money making the surroundings elaborate and pretty, though.

Not bad. Got the bad ending.
