10/10

bought on sale. Devs are really great, they've made a great product, with lots of content but the combat system is way too easy. Half way finished no faints.

Game is very well polished combat monsters game.

However, I don't like anime so I quit /thumbsup Personal preference it was just Pokemon Yellow/Gold/Ruby 2.0

Super fun. Drafting cards, improving your odds for the next set of rooms on the map, and pushing for a strategy that gets you through the many milestones of a climb.

Just incase you thought the dev hadn't generated infinite good will, they've dropped tens of hours of gameplay in a random free update.

On deep sale it's extremely good value for money.

No spoiler advice: Learn the ropes in standard game. Work out the strategies of good town planning. Complete some achievements. Then mod the game to "The North" on the workshop and play it on hard mode.

Half the fun is working out wtf to do.

It's a short and sweet exposition of greatness in unison.

Coming from MH3:U on the Wii U, they took monster hunter formula and improved it in every way. Everything is implemented as a masterclass to gameplay, visual, sound, design. Every aspect of this game is perfect as a Monster Hunter series game.

Look at the global achievement statistics and you'll see that this game's completion rate is very high. The main story is about 45 hours, but if you want to grind and melt faces, try all the weapons, or are new, it should take longer.

My only personal gripe is the story is constantly asking you to continue it, I feel like in MH3U, back when I was terrible at MH, much more of it was spent on grinding quests without the story bothering you, but that was back before Dark Souls was really a thing. That one thing doesn't come close to a mark on the armour of this perfect game.

The guy who made this is a god.

It is for all intents and purposes a modern Fallout game. The weapon mod system is good. Settlements can be a lot of fun, they're only important if you play on survival mode, where you'll need a place to recoup, eat, drink, sleep your insomnia away. I'm only just getting started but the game is a lot of fun. Survival mode might be frustrating if you don't like constantly searching for a wild sleeping bag.

The story's "Helgen", or "Megaton" is very lackluster, and is basically just your old neighbourhood, except... only you and your crew live there. So there is less sense of waltzing into a minor, charismatic town, and messing or fixing the place up. Instead it's one of your (as you progress, and if you want) multiple self-built settlements. I wonder if this is one of the key reasons people felt sour about the story.

Only 10% of the way in. Just dropping my 2c while still on sale.

Definitely worth the price at 75% off.

I've only ever played Soul Caliber on Xbox 360, rented from Blockbuster lol, also Street Fighter on Snes and Smash Bros series.

The depth of the gameplay is mental, so I've just picked a main, Master Raven and delved into it.

So much fun perfecting the ability set and working out how to pressure the opponent. Where the opponent lets you punish them. You can just go into the Move List in Practice Mode and press Y with a move selected, replicate the move instructions to learn it, then press select + RB to show the next move.

Fighter customization is very in-depth and you get a lot in the base game. My raven looks sick in a light pink suit with green / gold armoured legs. 10/10

It's some half naked ladies in the customization so you'll almost definitely see some of that online. Won't try getting my ass handed to me until after 50 hours of training probably. If practice mode can keep me playing for 10 hours alone, they've made an excellent base game.

Buy Season 2, especially if you're like me and you'll enjoy chasing the harder characters for depth as your main. Gives the best value for money with 6 characters, and one is Lei, the guy with 5 fighting stances. Also buy the $4 frame data pack if you want to analyse the moveset and understand the delay of abilties frame-wise, helps you learn how to gain advantage in the poke / block gameplay to help you open into comboing your opponent. DLC is optional, you can git gud without it. Just work and improve.

Playing this made me want to watch fighting esports cause damn this skill-cap is high these guys must be gods.
