Witchfire

For me, this beats destiny 2 as a looter shooter all day long. The progression is well balanced and most of the weapons are fun to use, and synergise well with the rings and spells. I prefer the occult overtones as opposed to space themes anyway. I was on the fence for at least a year but as I was having a lull in gaming, having gone as far as possible with Voin, I jumped in. an absolute bargain at £16.

First off, I have to commend the devs with how they've been able to get the game to look. Is this one of a handful of games that has pushed Unreal Engine 4 to its limits? It sure does looks beautiful. You could take a screenshot anywhere in this game and it would look awesome. I believe this is one of the last engines, where 'hand-crafted' art direction could still shine through, and the whole team responsible for graphics did a top notch job here! The story and theme is also very interesting. You play as an "unrepentant sinner" whose sole mission is to rid this world of 'pure evil' spirits. You have been guided to carry out this mission by the powers who be. The character you play as is something akin to an anti-villain. So basically it's a very gnarly world. Loads of biblical and spiritual imagery/ dialogue. It's inspired work. I liked it very much. The major problem with this game, is it's gameplay. Taking inspiration from 2014+ gaming culture with the likes of Destiny, the game has you grinding again and again to unlock this or unlock that, and to eventually progress to the next level. Numbers popping up on the screen when you shoot an enemy, 'roguelite-esque' …

I LOVVVE a bit of difficulty being a souls vet. This game has amazing bones however the punishment is absurd. Gun play and environment are amazing S-Tier. That said I have refunded twice, I want to enjoy the game sooooooo soooooo much but all that happens is I want to throw my controller through the wall and turn it off. If this is how I feel playing, good luck getting anything but sweats. I beg the devs to really examine balance and ask themselves if they want 10,000 people playing or 100k. Skill issue(maybe) but I think I have played enough "hard" games NG++++++'s to have a decent feel. I honestly want to try it again right now but I believe I'll get frustrated 15min in. Itsw not multiplayer so what's wrong with difficulty settings. People gets very upset and take the stance of GET GOOD but that doesn't put asses in the seats. Only asking to ease into to game a liitle more instead of hating life from the jump. Scaling so high from to word go will alienate more players than it brings in. I say this all with love because I REALLY want this game to succeed. Other than D2 best gunplay EVER.

guns with dark souls or bloodborne you name it. absolute masterpiece!

one the most unique games I've played in a long time. fun combat interesting build potential and over all beautiful

Long story short - Great Game. For a long time i haven't enjoyed the game like this one. Yes, it is early access, and, no, it doesn't even feel like one. Graphics, sound, effects and story idea is just great. Game is hard, no tutorials, and I found that one of the best things about it. Keep up the great work Astronauts!
