A game which starts slowly with small jumpscares, but which gradually establishes a good rhythm and a plot which encourages you to go to the end of the game. The deaths in game are quite impressive (an option is available for the censored if necessary). The game works very well in ultrawide and is particularly beautiful. Afterwards it is not the game of the year in terms of gameplay, it is similar to a well-known formula between walking and alternating QTEs. I recommend to horror fans.

A game of unprecedented beauty. It works just as well in ultrawide / super ultrawide as on Steam Deck (I must have at least 50 hours on the Deck).
The soundtrack is incredible, the fights are effective, the landscapes are impressive. The developers have done an impressive job. Seeing this little gem land on PC was a long-time dream. Glad that Sony is opening up a little more to making quality ports on our machines.

The music from the anime makes all the fights more epic and accurate
I would have preferred them to be included in the ultimate pack, but hey, it's pa$$ion...

This is literally the game we would have loved to see during our childhood! An incredible roster (which is likely to grow with the next updates and DLCs), the graphics are amazing! The game runs on almost all current configurations including even the Steam deck! It’s a big YES 🔥

Two (small) shadows on the board however:
-Too bad the game is not natively ultrawide compatible (it is possible to make it work but by doing some manipulations)
- and the fact that by buying the ultimate edition you still have to pay again for the two music packs (which make the fights even more epic by the way for those who are nostalgic)

Here some gameplay in super ultrawide 32:9 + anime pack music 🤩

[ENG] A nice surprise for fans of roguelite/survivor like games. Graphically nice, it even runs very well on Steam Deck. Sold at a low price for Early Access, obviously I took the Supporter pack! Looking forward to more content and why not a co-op mode!

[FR] Une belle surprise pour les amateurs de jeu type roguelite / survivor like. Graphiquement sympa, il tourne même très bien sur Steam Deck. Vendu �  petit prix pour une Early Access, forcément j'ai pris le Supporter pack! Vivement plus de contenu et pourquoi pas un mode coop!

[ENG] Nice and effective gameplay for a hack'n'slash / arpg in a vast open world, a brilliant campaign...but what a shame that all this is tarnished by a cosmetics store with aberrant prices (up to 25 euros for an armor skin on a character that will be 4 to 5cm cm on your screen) and seasons passes that are in no way attractive given what is offered on them. Season 1 was not great, season 2 was excellent (the vampiric powers added a lot more) and season 3 is again not great unfortunately... Let's hope that season 4 will be better. I'm crossing my fingers that the next expansion doesn't cost a kidney (apparently we can live with one otherwise, but I'd like to keep both). I recommend it on sale or otherwise soon on Xbox Gamepass

[FR] Un gameplay sympa et efficace pour un hack'n'slash / arpg dans un open world vaste, une campagne géniale...mais quel dommage que tout cela soit terni par une boutique de cosmetique avec des prix aberrants (jusqu'�  25 euros pour un skin d'armure sur un personnage qui fera 4 �  5cm cm sur votre écran) et des seasons pass en rien attrayant au vu de ce qui est offert dessus. La saison 1 était pas ouf, la saison 2 était excellente (les pouvoirs vampiriques apportaient un sacré plus) et la saison 3 est de nouveau pas ouf hélas... Espérons que la saison 4 sera mieux. Je croise des doigts pour que la prochaine extension ne coute pas un rein (parait qu'on peut vivre qu'avec un sinon, mais j'aimerais bien conservé les deux). Je le recommande en promo ou sinon prochainement sur le Xbox Gamepass

Cocorico a French game with a nice finish, a story that attempts originality with gameplay simple enough so that we focus (entertainment?) on the narration. The game benefits from full dubbing in several languages ​​(French, English, German) for those who like not to read the subtitles all the time. We feel that a lot of work was done on the npc during the interaction and dialogue phase with them (with zooms on their face, variation of camera shots during discussion with them). A good game between AA and AAA. Nice surprise at the start of the year. It can run on Steam Deck at 25/30 fps on low.
Unfortunately it doesn't work natively in super ultrawide (luckily a fix allows it)

This remaster was carried out with respect for the original work. In one click you can switch from modern to original graphics (with old school framerate!). The gameplay can also be chosen : tank mode or modern gameplay. It works also perfectly on Steam Deck. And the game works natively in ultrawide / super ultrawide. At the price at which it is sold, it's a good deal at the start of the year (especially if you are fans of Lara Croft and her adventures, while waiting for the next gen sequel). All remasters should follow this approach. Well done Aspyr !!

Don’t buy this game at this price. The menu is horrible. It looks like a mobile phone game (10gb!! Arena like closed by invisible walls…). Many cutscenes are just diaporama like they did with the last Naruto… Really disappointed to spend money on it, so many games worst more than this, even from the same editor like Tekken 8.
Keep your money if your a JJK fan and buy the books, or other good games released this month.
