I played the demo a while ago and while the graphics have a lot of charm, the gameplay was just very boring. I hope things have improved, but first impressions from the reviews seems to show that it probably hasn’t
Modern Assassin’s Creed games in a nutshell. Played Origins, it kept trying to convince me that stealth mattered but as long as you can time your dodges you can just run an army through. You’d clear areas a lot faster than sneaking around, too.
The article talks about that actually and I do agree, HD textures just kinda suck. Better lighting and effects could look good though, if done properly.
I kinda liked the first game more. Felt a lot more cohesive in terms of themes and story, Little Nightmares 2 felt like it was about something else entirely. And yeah, that ending.
The graphics look just as good in my eyes, it just looks like the trailer used more flattering shots compared to proper gameplay. Still looks great, honestly.
Avowed is either going to be really good or really bad, and I can’t tell which it’ll be. The world looks great but only two playable races is annoying, and the dialogue looked really dull in that preview.
Ara was my highlight of the show. It really is just Civ 7 but in a different name, but it looks great.
I’m honestly in the same boat. I come back to this game every major update but I find the survival mechanics are a bit too in-depth for me. Creative mode and chisels are a lot of fun, though.
Also if you didn’t know there are all sorts of difficulty settings you can tune when creating a new world, I think there’s one for slowing the hunger meter.
I tried going strength on my first run and ended up going with a katana dex build. Months later I picked up STR again and yeah, they’re a LOT better now. You’re in for a treat. I think they made ultra greatswords swing faster by like 30%+ since release.
