It seems like they just updated the models, which do look great, but the environments were barely touched. I wouldn't be surprised if it was done with AI. Dual stick controls already existed as a mod for the Dreamcast version, and honestly the HD retextures of that version look better, aside from the models. SR2 was barely touched in general and has BUGS. I mean, come on.

I ADORE this series but I'm not letting nostalgia cloud me on this one. This remake feels a little lazy. There could have been many other QoL improvements and environmental updates. This series deserves better.

Such a fun game. Absolutely gorgeous too with a simplistic visual style that uses lighting and colors really well. Gameplay is fun. I have played with both big groups on a locally run server, as well as with just my SO. Highly recommended.

The game is fantastic. Honestly the best feeling ARPG I have played. The game feels more interactive and methodical then other games of it's type. It feels wonderful to play and it improves on a lot from poe1. The systems are more digestible without losing complexity, the gameplay feels responsive and interactive, the visuals are beautiful and the attention to detail is great. The writing and voice acting is better than the previous game. This has probably been the most engaging arpg I have played since diablo. I am extremely excited to see this game grow and flourish. It has a lot to offer already and so much potential. I really hope the devs keep pouring themselves into this thing.

Implement ultrawide. It isn't hard. I should not have to hex edit your stupid exe to use my monitor.

EDIT: 2.0 and still no ultrawide, I still have to connect to nothing to get to a main menu, I still have to move through resolutions just to get to the one I want. Literal gimmies you could have fixed/implemented. Ridiculous

The game is phenomenal. It is such a joy and the gameplay is just a straight upgrade from world. I am really excited to see where capcom take this game cause it has the potential to keep getting better and broader, and I don't want to put it down.

Visually looks great as well after some HDR adjustment. I can't speak to it without HDR. The performance is not bad with frame gen on. Definitely not the most optimized if you are trying to run native without it.

Feels like Tekken. Heat is a great mechanic. Makes matches more aggressive which is not a bad thing. Big starting roster. Lots of content on and offline. Got it on sale, which I recommend. Definitely worth it.

EDIT: Wow, well I had to change my review because of how poorly mismanaged this game seems to be.

Terrible matchmaking, game breaking slow mo bugs, dragging their feet on balance patches, an asinine and outdated ranked ladder, lots of missing and obvious quality of life features? Nice Tekken Team. Hey developing a game is tough though, I get it. I am sure there are reasons bogging down progress in certain areas (even though you could have just taken the examples led by the success of others, like SF6, from the start).

Let's say we forgive all that. Well if that wasn't bad enough we have the horrid monetization choices Namco makes, just to drive those last nails in the coffin, driving away even more of their already small playerbase. Like they need the extra 5$ after all the in game advertising they are pushing. Good job. If Tekken died, I don't even think Namco would care. They would likely just write it off. Don't see them crying over Soul Caliber. It's looking like another quick cash grab. What a joke.

The worst part is the game is actually GOOD. Ugh.

EDIT2: As if it couldn't get any worse, season 2 can only be described as the old head devs, high on their egos, flipping their entire fan base a nice big middle finger.

So I can only recommend this game on it's "story mode" difficulty. The combat in this game is bad and it only gets worse as the game progresses, depending on how you play it based on how your character gets stronger. I wish I had known that when I made my difficulty choice, as you can't change it later. That coupled with some bugs, one of which caused something I didn't want happening and because of the save system, I got stuck with the outcome. I get the decision for the save system but it's poorly thought out. The narrative and story are really interesting and I really love that aspect of it. I can feel the World of Darkness influence in here and that's great. I will likely come back to it and do a story mode run, but I can't recommend it as is, which is unfortunate.

i hunt monster. it good

Really fun and engaging, had me glued till the end.

Hot damn. Very good game. Great atmosphere, the music was fantastic. The design of the game and how you move through the narrative is fantastic and very unique. I got a little burnt out towards the end but I think that was more a me problem then a problem with the game. All in all really well done.
