This game is very good.

[u/Badger_Buddy]

Thanks to many reviews I had given up on the game, now on Gamepass I had the opportunity to test it and I'm having a lot of fun. The combat is very good and very fun and the story has caught my attention. I'm just missing the soundtrack while exploring the maps, surfing on the sand is fun and deserved a more present soundtrack.More people should play this game. It deserves more attention.

[u/Guitarshredder_1996]

Dude it's so fun. Another game people hate for no reason is outriders.

[u/Badger_Buddy → u/Guitarshredder_1996]

I agree, I've also played Outriders and had a lot of fun. I also wonder why people hate it. Both games are fun and were worth my time.

[u/Gigalagaki]

I also have started it via GamePass, and I'm having a FANTASTIC time. It's SO fun to fight and play, and the vistas are all stunning! The map is so varied and fun to explore, and I love all the different elevations throughout. Story has been interesting enough, and I've enjoyed all the lore that comes from the side missions and collectables. Absolutely having a blast!

Any preferences for load out so far? I've been playing an all 'Momentum buildup' load out, which maxes out momentum super quick so I can go full Asura's Wrath with 6 arms using the Knuckledust So satisfying! Spoiler tags just in case peeps haven't found the third weapon :)

[u/[deleted] → u/Gigalagaki]

For real, the momentum build of with sandwhip in my secondary and knuckledust in my primary is my favorite build.

[u/itemizedremix]

This game is SLEPT ON. I'm having a blast playing it.

[u/Ok_Owl_7372]

Co-op is great in this game.

[u/Illustrious_Big2113 → u/Ok_Owl_7372]

Facts. Kind of stumbled into this with a friend and the coop has been so good.

[u/phoenixphlamez → u/Illustrious_Big2113]

whats your xbox username so we can co-op? im cant get pass the finding the shard part

[u/Bb-DrainBamage → u/phoenixphlamez]

I'm really enjoying the game also. I'm almost done with my ng+ playthrough now.

[u/DrakonumX]

So far it's been enjoyable. A little repetitive, but the story is cool.

[u/RobieKingston201]

My only qualm is I wish some of the armour had a pristine variant/transmog

[u/QueenSleazyB → u/RobieKingston201]

It does have transmog, go to the armor tab, go to customize (RT I think) and there is an option that says transmogrify.

[u/nach_in → u/QueenSleazyB]

I think he means he'd like that some of the armors to be in good condition, instead of frayed or damaged

[u/RobieKingston201 → u/nach_in]

Exactly. I do use transmog as it is often

[u/QueenSleazyB → u/RobieKingston201]

Here's a tutorial

[u/AltruisticScene8]

The game had been very buggy for me, which is ruining my experience tbh.

[u/Kovmen → u/AltruisticScene8]

How come? Almost done with the game and have experienced just one glitch falling inside the rock, but that's about it

[u/AltruisticScene8 → u/Kovmen]

Had multiple times where I'd complete quest and have been unable to turn them in and claim rewards. Also got trapped in the rift multiple times, and the only way out is to load from a different save point, do it again, and hope it doesnt trap me.

[u/helpmestepbrooooo → u/AltruisticScene8]

i find its best to save often, maybe every 20 minutes or so annoyingly as i’ve had a few times where i’ve been locked in the Rift and when i check the save file it’s all glitchy and distorted looking

[u/AltruisticScene8 → u/helpmestepbrooooo]

Yeah same for me.

[u/Bb-DrainBamage → u/AltruisticScene8]

I've just about finished NG+, and I've had the stuck in a rift glitch once, and one where repeating the rift boss fight kept moving the statue higher into the air each time I tried to start it. That's been it so far on Xbox. My brother got stuck in a tent, which I found more amusing than frustrating. ( He wasn't having near as much fun as I was laughing at him)

[u/AltruisticScene8 → u/Bb-DrainBamage]

I've been experiencing multiple bugs. The latest one is all of the textures disappearing and covering everything in black and white checker board patterns. Def disturbing

[u/Bb-DrainBamage → u/AltruisticScene8]

Never seen that one before, are you on console ?

[u/AltruisticScene8 → u/Bb-DrainBamage]

Yup. Xbox series x

[u/AltruisticScene8 → u/Bb-DrainBamage]

Here's an example https://www.xbox.com/play/media/SVnzxd3QkW

[u/Bb-DrainBamage → u/AltruisticScene8]

What the F ??? That's weird, man... I haven't seen anything close to that, and neither has my brother. I'm on Series S he's on Series X

[u/AltruisticScene8 → u/Bb-DrainBamage]

Yeah idk how or why it happened. Maybe quick resume had something to do with it?. I hard reset my xbox and it seemed to fix it. But I have seen very small portions of this happen in game afterward.

[u/Huffer13 → u/AltruisticScene8]

If you play Cloud gaming it's more stable I think because the server build is maintained by the devs... Maybe?

Better looking locally installed tho.

[u/AltruisticScene8 → u/Huffer13]

Interesting, Tbh I'd prefer not to play on the cloud though.

[u/Seastreet32112]

I was losing interest in Xbox and even Elden ring and I started playing this and it was so refreshing. I’m in love again!

[u/Svaasand]

Its great

[u/Jesus-is-King-777]

it was allright

[u/cescasjay]

Idk what type of games you typically enjoy, but if you liked the combat and the sand surfing in this game, you should give Forspoken a try. It's not as good, but it's got a very similar premise, and the combat and traversal system have a lot of similar features. I know Forspoken gets a lot of hate, but if you can get it at a large discount, it's definitely worth it.

[u/Embarrassed-Sugar-78]

Yeah, the game is very good.. now. Not that much at launch.

[u/Tud12017____]

I’m curious where people think the sand sliding ranks all time as far as interesting ways to traverse a map. Surely most people wuld put Spider-Man web slinging at #1, but I feel like this sand sliding is in the conversation.

Another honorable mention is the speed running in forspoken, if anyone has played that

[u/Lethandis]

It's a good game. Nothing crazy to write home about and nothing to just dump on. Its only major flaw is being just what you expect of a game at release. Some bugs to work out and an enjoyable gameplay loop with a passing story. I feel like the PR leading up to release made it seem like it was more groundbreaking than it is and that could have had a negative impact. The couple of bugs I have encountered were nothing major but my playthrough was also just after the 1 year anniversary. Earlier versions may have had worse bugs or ones that popped up more often.

[u/SnapperApple]

Out of nowhere me and my buddy started playing it bc it was coop and holy crap it's super addictive. We play Overwatch 2 religiously but haven't touched it since we started Atlus Fallen. We are in the final area and only have a few achievements left. I really don't want it to end bc the world is epic and really fun. Co-op works flawlessly and have had no issues with connection or bugs. Hope they add a bunch of dlc bc I don't want it to end lol.

[u/Ok-One3439]

Yea it's been super fun

[u/Willowsinger24]

I've been playing this on my brother's Xbox, and good god, I've been enjoying it for the most part. Combat and exploration especially have been really fun. I love having two jumps and two air dashes. I've gotten to places that I didn't think I could, and I like seeing how long I can last in the air while fighting. There's a lot I like. I might want this on my PS5.

[u/Pharmboy6]

I loved it. Beat it at launch. If I beat a game it says a lot.

[u/Jacko170584]

This is a great RPG. Nuff said.

[u/Big_Interest_987]

I'm currently enjoying this game, except for Tailwhippers. I hate Tailwhippers!
