The Relic: First Guardian

Flawed, but honest and fun game from a small team that's genuinely trying — worth a thumbs up at a discounted price. I knew about the game before release, and when I saw the launch and the reactions, I turned my back on it and didn't look into it further. But the last few days, after getting my fill of MGS4 MC, I didn't know what to play next, so I ruthlessly bought it on the PS Store during a sale (and since the game runs noticeably better on PC — even though I primarily play on PS5 — I also picked up a cheap Steam key). I have over 30 hours in and I'm trying to explore everything. What bothers me: - Frame drops, especially during boss fights (this applies to the PS5 version — on my PC build, in the few minutes I played, it ran without issues and noticeably better) - Character getting stuck on certain stairs - Long loading times between death and respawn - The menu interface is only half clear — some of it is well done, some isn't - From chapter 2 onward there are too many enemies — by the end it starts to feel tiring (though this might just be a subjective feeling on my part) - The camera sometimes doesn't cooperate, especially in tight spaces and during certain boss fights - G…

So I'll start by saying, I was really hyped for this game and was ready to support it. It's not terrible, its a good idea, but there should have been more serious work put into this before release. Here are the glaring issues with this game....Character animations in combat are very slow and stiff. Base weapon damage is terribly unbalanced for bosses in particular. Only real damage you can inflict is with the skills, which have a cooldown and can be interrupted and put back on cooldown. Performance is just outright bad. No adjusting really anything. Enemies do NOT respawn and any upgrade items are in chests, maybe. Enemies drop nothing but gold. So no getting stronger for the next boss or powering up for one you're stuck at. Everything is just a ridiculous skill check for the sake of it being difficult. Wouldn't be an issue if there were a better materials drop system. Also, don't really know why one would go through the effort of putting in so many rest points on the map, but only allow fast travel to a very few select main encampments? That's just silly. So glad i got this on sale and didn't pay full price. If you're gonna get this, I highly recommend waiting for a sale and just …

нудная игра, примитивная боевая система, огромное количество повторяющихся противников, простые и неинтересные боссы, плохая графика, проблемы с производительностью, постоянные фризы, ужасное управление, много багов, в том числе много забагованных достижений. Игра сырая, но даже после патчей вряд ли станет интереснее. Из плюсов можно отметить неплохие истории из квестов, приемлемое билдостроение и большой мир. Хотя этот мир в совокупности с отвратительным геймплеем больше к минусу отнести можно. И это нифига не соулс.
