I didn’t play the first one. Though I started playing this last night on game pass knowing nothing about it.
It’s intense, beautiful, intriguing and I’m looking forward to playing more.
The game itself is more of a story that you sometimes sword fight in. Exceptionally linear, which to me is a refreshing change from the abundance of open world titles available at the moment. The story is interesting, though I’m starting to think I should play through the first one first, there is a recap at the beginning so I feel I’m up to speed on what’s happened. The combat is fun, and very cinematic, it feels like every interaction has been coded separately.
Overall it’s a solid 8/10 if you are a fan of narrative story games it’s worth a look, though as mentioned I’d be tempted to start at the beginning, there isn’t much hand holding through the features which I imagine is explained more in the first game.
I’ve been trying to play the first one after getting it a few months ago, but I can only play for a little bit at a time because it’s just so… heavy. It’s so good at portraying Schizophrenia that it fucks with your head, and the controls don’t help, causing further madness. Every time I try to play a bit, I feel off afterwards, like my mind slipped away. I really want to play and finish it, but it’s taking some time.
I agree with everything but the controls problem you are having I had no such issues. Are you playing with controller or mouse? I did controller.
