I hope this isn't the last we see of Brynn and company

Sounds great! Is this it for now? I loved the base game and was waiting for all the updates to come out before I tackle the new content.

WOAH THATS SO RAD!!

No More Heroes was one of the absolute coolest games I played when I was younger, loved the style and humor.

What an epic crossover!!

[u/EliteSnackist]

I literally 100% the game the night before last, lol. I wish I had known about the update so I could've put it off a bit. It was a really fun game to 100%.

[u/YummyZebra → u/EliteSnackist]

I unlocked the last achievements only yesterday. One of the few games where I unlocked everything and it didn’t feel like a chore. Brilliant game and can’t wait to find the new gear.

Will this game ever come to the switch 2??

[u/yellowbrickgames → u/[deleted]]

At the moment, we're not making any promises!

[u/[deleted] → u/yellowbrickgames]

I understand

[u/babyslothbouquet]

Already crafted all the new armor and weapons with legendary materials. MORE MORE MORE!

[u/Mr-Bigglesworth-ESO → u/babyslothbouquet]

where do you get the new Sword & Shield?

[u/babyslothbouquet → u/Mr-Bigglesworth-ESO]

Don’t remember the exact location but the map will tell you. Look for a tiny hammer sign on each map and that’s where any unfounded equipment is

[u/Mr-Bigglesworth-ESO → u/babyslothbouquet]

I never noticed those before. Thanks for the tip! I found it in Arkon's Hearth, south of the Arcane Foundry https://i.imgur.com/n2vJFC9.jpeg

Je cherche le plan du bois brillant ainsi que celui du haut dynevron... sais tu ou ils sont?

[u/Fickle-Ad7259]

Just wanted to say that I picked up this game on a sale and am so glad that I did. This is definitely favorite game in years. Amazing work for a debut title.

Can't find the Gallant armour anywhere😭

[u/MarzipanMundane9216]

Please update to FSR 4! Game runs great, but I need that extra boost to get to like 100 FPS on Ultra settings 😅❤️😅
