I haven't played it yet (have about 10 hours to go), but it has already downloaded and it's had a pair of patches; so I'm hoping it's running smooth when I do get to play. REALLY looking forward to it.
Hopefully you get a bug free experience
How many gigs? Does it take long to download or is it compressed? Thx.
@@danielstevenson1250 It says 32.6g on the menu for it. I think download time depends on your internet speed
It still isn’t
How is it?
any comment on whether the ps5 performance has been fixed?
The closest thing I’ve played and completed to this is remnant 2, I enjoyed it so much I pre ordered this. (Not the same I know).
So glad I did, I can’t put it down and aside from the performance issues and sometime odd camera angle it’s a bloody masterpiece, I do mean quite literally bloody too, gore is plentiful and the artwork is sublime.
I’m around 30 hours in and can’t put it down.
First impression weren’t great what with the aforementioned issues but I stuck with and I’m so glad I did.
A nice mix of challenging gameplay, secrets, puzzles and lore.
7/10 feels harsh for me but as with all things gaming it’s subjective.
If they were to patch the issues I’d happily give it a 9/10.
A fair review otherwise.
I've picked this one and have been enjoying it so far. I am also thinking about getting remnant 2 perhaps after this one. How do they stack against each other in your opinion?
Is it playable? Or is it as Ign described for the PS5 where the villains are all dumb and the lag is insane
After a couple of updates, it is now completely playable. The odd bit of stutter, but nothing too major. Prior to the updates though the game ran so poorly it would give you a headache in some sections - Aaron
@@pushsquare ah thank you so much for the info. Extremely helpful
@pushsquare any comments on how co-op is on ps5 now after these patches? I've been reading that co-op really tanks the performance and has me a bit worried
@@anumariku I'd like to know that as well, it's the thing preventing me to buy the game right now :)
@@anumariku Co-op unfortunately wasn't an available feature during the review period so I haven't actually had the time to check it out - Aaron
This new team has stood out and has shown that they can compete with AAA studios, the game is not perfect, but what I have experienced is something unique and similar.
Unique, due to the implementation of Unreal 5 technology with incredible views and graphics in general, in addition to the innovative reality exchange of its worlds, it reminds me something of Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver.
Similarly, well there is an avalanche of titles that have tried to capture the Soulslike genre, developed by the incredible ''Hidetaka Miyazaki'' and I think HEXWORKS and Defiant Studios are pretty close. Don't hesitate, this game fulfills its purpose and surely much more in the next release!
I have both PS5 and the PC version and it’s still hard to recommend the console version. It’s serviceable in performance mode but it gets really frame-y in way more sections of the game than a good PC does blasting ultra settings with DLSS. Additionally there might be FSR running in the background on PS5 you can’t turn off because it has a slight ghosting effect noticeable on longer weapons like long swords/grand swords and grand hammers. If you have a PC I would still say play it on PC.
isnt this obvious, consoles arent as good as pcs period..
@@simplysimon966your way out of context here buddy
I'm so conflicted on this game. It looks very fun, but I really can't stand the fact that the game runs in 1080p to achieve 60fps and 1440p 30fps. I know it's UE5, but considering Epics showcases and big words on this engine combined with Sony's "8K"-logo on the PS5 box I feel like this is not optimized enough. I see that the PC version runs like complete s*** as well..
1080p is like 10fps..
What an absurd take. I get people not playing it if it stutters/freezes. But simply because its 1080p? Get over urself man. A game’s main priority should be whether it is fun or not.
It's an internal resolution of 1080, then upscaled. The image won't look 1080, though will probably suffer from ghosting during camera pans.
The game doenst look that good if you ask me. I play on a PC with a 4090 and it looks good but its not looking better than the Demon Souls remake if you ask me.
Dead Space remake runs at even lower native res and still looks great
Dope! My game will be arriving on Monday, sadly.
I just got mine through FedEx. I don't think I'm playing it for a while though. Going to wait for some patches. Maybe in a month or two. I want the game to run well and apparently right now it does not
@@RobK-rl6sn Cool. I usually install a game and play it months down the line, unintentionally. 😆
I got the game 5 days ago and I'm enjoying it.
What? How? this game doesn't come out until the 13th.
@@syminite1 my friend works at a game store had to give him $20 extra 😂
If you had to give him 20 extra dollars then he is not your friend.
I got the game yesterday I'm really enjoying it so far
What Platform? I hear it's running pretty bad on Playstation 5!🤔
@@TheKingYozora on ps5 I've not come across any real issues at the moment, I've had 2 updates since yesterday for the game could be why though
@@zacharybailey6905thats great to know. if i buy it it will be on PS5.
@@zacharybailey6905 You have the game. Can you in good conscience recommend this game now or should I wait? Got burned on Jedi Survivor earlier this year. 🤦♂️
its over man@@TheKingYozora
Bro sounds like Ron Weasley
Genuine question and not hating, and I don’t care for Soulslike just not for me, but are people getting tired of these games or are they going strong? This just seems similar to other ones at a glance
The fact that they keep making them seems to indicate they're by and large very successful to me
I can’t get enough! They never get stale to me.
Souls-like is the best genre in gaming and makes dopamine levels high when you play it...
No disrespect but I don't think you know what you're talking about. The only Souls like game Sony has ever made were demon souls and bloodborne. Those were PS3 and PS4 games. Sony didn't even make them. They paid from software to make them. When the PS5 released they did a remake of demon souls. But other than those three games right there they have no souls like games in their portfolio whatsoever. Sony doesn't do Souls like games. They do games like Spider-Man God of War Horizon forbidden west, Uncharted ghost of tsushima Ratchet & Clank among many many others and none of them are in the souls like genre of video games. None of them. Anything that is a Souls like is not done by Sony but by someone else. This is basic video game knowledge
@AloneAgainstAll885 100% agree. I unfortunately never played souls games before. But elden ring was my first.
Man I got completely slaughtered but I love the get good factor. Either get got or become a forsaken soul. Full of illusions and upgrades. These games teach you to never give up.
Lords of the fallen or lies of p wich one should i get?
@@mehrunezzdagon7323I would like to know why? Lies of P over LOTF.....
.....elaborate....
@@josephvegas3052i havnt played this one yet but lies of p has sone truly fantastic bosses, combat, world design, and music, the mix matching of weapons you find is such a fun mechanic the parry system is tough but rewarding but i would say it has some major difficulty spikes and there was a boss i almost quit on hope some of this information helps
Lies of p is perfectly optimized. 60 fps locked Great game
Lies of pi easily. The performance is great and it is probably the first souls like game that feels just like a from soft game. They actually nailed it.
BOTH !
Game won't even work for me I'm stuck at character creation it's bugged out and can't begin the game I'm on PlayStation five. Ordered a refund today. 70 quid wasted
LOVE this GAME!!!
Like this game..but laggy on ps5..not smooth at all..
Idk care souls game challenge accepted 😂😂😂 im crazy about these types of games
Since its like 10 fps vs Bosses, its crap on ps5
Still horrible optimalisation on ps5. Don't buy till it will be repaird!!
Its unplayable performance mode the quality...i have nothing to say💩
Should be an eight at least based upon this video…
Agreed.
Definetly not for optimisation or graphics on ps5
Why do people act like 7/10 is a negative score?
@@CaptainQwark4 it’s not. But to me the 7 doesn’t seem to do this game right!
It's definitely not elden ring 😅
7 out of 10 daaaaaaam; the review didn't match that score-this is at least a 8.5
Only got it today cant stand the game play one of the most annoying games I've played in a long time will be traded in soon original lord's of the fallen is much better than this crap
Looks a bit disappointing after the trailers.
Completely agree, the trailer was misleading. I’m also really sick of the super bulky looking armor in these games. I want a Baldur’s Gate 3 customization for a game like this instead.
I tried playing this shit for 2 hours. I just get so bored with these games. The moment to moment combat. Clanky, Janky, uninspired. This is what kills these games. If this felt like Sekiro. Then, the game would sell itself. But I'm tired of these janky combat games.
Sekiro was boring and the combat felt like forced and something that makes you tired to play, even hurts your fingers. LOTF and other souls and souls-like Is more fun than Sekiro.
@@Stampaxd put down the crack pipe my brother
Just git gud
@@trinigooner8865He gave a response and you have nothing but an ad hominem. Gg you lost when you decided to type and not actually speak to a person like a human.
MY REVIEW THUS FAR...
-No manual save
-No various skill settings
-No assist mode
GAME BREAKER! FINAL SCORE: 1 OUT OF 10
Is this your first souls or souls like game? There is never a difficulty setting
Just quit back to the main menu to save
@@booboobear3097 yep lol
Assist mode 😂
@@AA-BB Yes, assist mode! If it had one, I would be feeling like your emoji...VERY happy! Steel Rising had one, so did Control. You can even adjust it to where you're taking zero damage!
I can tell that Gen Z would have NEVER made it in the 90's. Back then, cheat menus and cheat devices like ''GameShark'' were the norm, widely accepted and loved by all gamers. And everyone used them.
Fast forward to 2023 and these young gamers are like, ''CHEEEAAAT??? WHAAAT? YOU SERIOUS''? Boy, have times and attitudes changed. Yes, us 90's OG gamers ARE serious, YES cheats!
If it's on Sony, it will be good. If a game SKIPS Sony...''Starfield''...then it's called trash and the worst thing since cold blooded murder lol!!! Very predictable pattern.
Looks shabby and jerky frame rate
