100% this. guard and deflect as much as possible and just about every enemy, no matter who it is, will be reduced to a pool of blood after a while Read more

lmao i feel for you. zhang liang is a nuisance to deal with especially since he’s the first boss after only just learning the game’s deep mechanics. part of that first phase is attack memorization but if you’re patient, guarding and deflecting when you can, then it should be a breeze. if you’ve got martial arts spam… Read more

same ! i kinda wanna go back to like dynasty warriors 2 and 3 just to play around in the three kingdoms period with my fave swordsman zhou tai lol Read more

considering the adjectives you used in that last sentence to describe sekiro, i’d say you’d thoroughly enjoy wo long: fallen dynasty because a lotta of those words apply (save for mobility as the jump in this game FUCKING SUCKS). anyway yeah wo long is very similar to sekiro in terms of aggression and speed with a… Read more

stranger of paradise is another solid soulslike i briefly mentioned in the review that’s also pretty approachable for fans and newcomers of the genre Read more

LMAO i remember that manual and, in my naivety, was like “yeah, how hard could lu bu really be against my OP zhou tai???” then i saw the red aura and electricity around his body and he killed me in one swipe. i was then like “ok yep, i’ll avoid him from now on koei tecmo. got it.” Read more

lu bu’s brutal here ! if i didn’t have two reinforcements during the fight, i might’ve gotten stuck as he does hella damage and is hella fast. he sucks Read more

lol i finished this review at like midnight, cut me some slack Read more

and not too spoil too much but since it sounds like you’ve played the warriors games you should be prepared because lu bu is STUPID FUCKING HARD Read more

a lot of the convoluted systems, particularly menu navigation, are present in wo long too but i think the game’s mechanics and how they connect with the story makes this much more approachable than the nioh series ever could be Read more

i definitely say give wo long: fallen dynasty a shot especially since, more often than not, you can summon up to two reinforcements whenever you want. that simple feature goes a long a way toward making the game more approachable Read more

yeah you’re totally right regarding the differences between “accessibility” and “approachability.” it’s something my editor and i went back and forth on in an attempt to clear that up but it seems i still missed a few instances where i used the two words interchangeably. that wasn’t my intention but i do think that,… Read more

i was going to mention this particularly because we follow each other on twitter, but i’ve been in conversation with miller ross over discord and he’s pretty devastated with everything so i didn’t think it was fair / right to do so Read more

literally whomst Read more

haven’t played it but based on what i know, yeah it’s a kinda similar concept Read more

yeah i was enjoying the absurdity of the show too. i figured something like this would happen - it’s AI pulling from thousands of human data sets, i’m sure - so hopefully the team can implement some sorta extra content moderation tools to flag and prevent sussy rhetoric from happening again. i would absolutely hate it… Read more

whoa Read more

yeah ngl the stats menu in wo long: fallen dynasty is equally convoluted which is a bummer because i too hate spending a bunch of time sifting through submenus but thankfully there’s an actual pause in this game and the combat, environmental and narrative storytelling, and boss encounters make up for it Read more

very this. i thought nioh was tight but team ninja really refined the gameplay mechanics in nioh 2 to make something challenging yet somewhat accessible. i think the studio has done the same thing here with wo long: fallen dynasty and tbh it seems like this game may be the soulslike of 2023 - so far anyway. Read more

there’s some cool storytelling going on in wo long: fallen dynasty i think you’ll like if you enjoy historical fiction. on top of that, you can summon prominent figures, like guan yu and zhou yun, to aid you in battle which is pretty dope imo Read more
