Runs and looks better than legacy (after changing settings from default). Finally HSW and new content. Good stuff.

Best call of duty game of the last ten years

20 hours in and having a blast. Encountered a few crashes, bugs, and quest issues, but the devs are responsive and already have a hotfix in the works. Still a smoother launch than any recent activision, ea, or ubisoft "AAA" release. Running 1440p on epic settings with DLSS set to quality and getting a stable 90 fps. Looks and feels great.

Very short, linear, and easy souls-like. Not worth full price. If you see it on sale for 50% off or better then it would be worth picking up, but it still misses the mark on the finer details. I completed both NG and NG+ in just 30 hours total and I struggle to find any reason to play further.

I tried to experiment with other builds / weapon & blade combos but even if you max your capacity stat you are always overburdened, lolwut? The equip weight system is laughingly stupid. Accessories weigh as much as a truck, getting the better defense gear is a burden not a reward because of their weight, and equipping boss weapons / gear is like deciding to drag around a school bus. I literally maxed my capacity stat and was still having to make compromises around weight or just flat out could not equip certain things together that would have otherwise had synergy.

Superior to dark and darker in every way.

DLC is everything I could have hoped for and more. GOTY 2024

Wake the fk up samurai! We have foxes to pet

Waiting in line simulator. Everything is far away and transport is scarce. Spend 15 minutes spam clicking LZs trying to get a chopper then finally have your ears destroyed for the entire 5 minute flight back to base so that you can go to menu to try to squad up to have to wait in line all over again.

Straight upgrade in every way to the first game. If you liked DDDA you will like this a lot. FYI, The DLC & microtransactions are all items you get in game just by playing and exploring so no need to worry about them. They can be completely ignored.
