Animus: Revenant

Finally finished this game! it took me some time... I played a first playthrough (i went pretty far and played more than 16 hours on this 1st playthrough) that i didn't finished at the time for some reasons that i forgot but i always wanted to get back to it as i really liked it the first time. And now after roughly 18 hours, i finally made it, yay! Ok so this is totally a Soulslike, in every aspects. A good one according to me. The GOOD stuff + NPC's tell you the minimum and it's all a bit cryptic. Lore is mostly in the items descriptions, i like that you have to figure out things on your own + The level designed is at the same time pretty linear but it can also be maze-like and it's always good to explore. + There´s some quests and puzzles for hidden bosses and they're rewarding + Combat is rough in the beginning but when you get the feeling of it (and a good weapon that you like), then it's getting much better. It's actually quite accurate with the dodges and parry. + It's tough! oh damn it's tough and challenging. But in a good way. The same technique can not be applied to all bosses and ennemies so you have to adapt. I like that + Atmosphere works great, music and sound e…

Excellent top down soul like game! Can't remember such games, they are usually all from the third person view. Although the controls cannot be changed, it is pretty good. It is a pity that so few people play, I would like some multiplayer experience! Recorded some gameplay: https://youtu.be/EvhVawRoBi8

My experience so far with the game, it's my first time playing a "Souls-like" My specs : Win10 AMD r9 5900x RX 580 8gb NO fps issues, i feel the game is well optimized. works perfectly for me. Gameplay : Fluid Controls (controller) works fine but i don't feel i'm in control some combos are way too long and are more of a liability than of help against bosses. First 3-4 bosses easy then you hit a big wall, the Boss in plate, basically the game tells hey it's time to farm unreliable mats/resources. Other than that no bugs, maybe i am a complete noob but i don't feel they try to help me even a little with moving forward. - A map of the zones would be nice too I recommend, yes because i will continue playing. The game is really good i'm just bad at it, the wall i hit will certainly be surmountable by an experience Souls player. PS : I wouldn't mind any tips if you have :) Cheers

Unbalanced, slow and laggy trash.

OKAY 1ST OFF PRICE ITS RIDICULOUS EVENING THO ITS LIKE 4.99 ON MOBILE. 2ND GAME IS BORING AS HELL ITS LITERALLY IRE BLOOD MEMORY WHICH IT WAS FREE BUT TURN INTO ANIMUS WITH NOTHING NEW OR REFINE . 3RD BOSSES ARE CHEAP AND THE WHOLE PARRY SYSTEM IS BUGGY AND KINDA SHXTTY. YOU ARE GOING TO GET LOST AND THE GAME ITSELF DOESN'T REALLY TELL YOU WHERE TO GO OR HOW TO DO CERTAIN SIDE MISSION. I PERSONALLY NEEDED TO WATCH YOUTUBE TO SEE WHEN TO GO. 4TH) LEVELING SYSTEM AS WELL FOR WEAPON PROGRESSION IS DUMB AND VERY DULL. I SERIOUSLY SEE NO DIFFERENCE ON LEVELING YOUR GEAR..

Has some pretty good elements but some of the later on areas, such as the prison and caves, are way too massive, copy-pasted with terrible direction and enemies that can lock you into getting stunned repeatedly. It's a shame because there are other things to like about it such as the core combat.
