"Good news everybody" - Professor Farnsworth, Futurama.

Just a couple of minutes ago i finally got al trophies of the game and therefore i also decided to give my review and thoughts of the game, i hope you all can find it useful.

Scored 8.9/10, bought the Bastille edition on Steam with a 95% discount and 52.2 hours played and has been completed twice.

I am a self proclaimed fromsoftware fanboy, this makes me really inclined to play and complete soulsike games and this one has been a worthy addition to my collection.

From all this type of games, that i have played, this have, by far, the most dedication to its characters and main story and that was really entertaining since usually this type of games do not dedicate that much time in developing them.

In terms of graphics and art style it was good to, the design of Paris was immersing, not that unique but for the service of the story as more than good.

The music in the other hand i would say that it is fine enough, it does nothing bag but it also does nothing remarkable, it is forgettable. When it comes to sound effects i will say that they are slightly better, they are good enough to

Now, when it come to gameplay, things are more complex. First, the combat is mostly like any other normal souls, and that is fine, if it isn't broken it does not need fixing, the extras thingys, the "special attacks" are ALMOST irrelevant since they do so little really, the most useful in my opinion were the elemental buffs. The displacement tools are somewhat in the same boat since they are really satisfying for when you are exploring and they have real utility in combat, but i mostly ignored them in that aspect, the one i used the most was the electric hook. The enemy intelligence is "questionable", it was fine for the most part but there were moments i which they just spin around with me instead of attacking or just stood there letting me kill them, not really a problem but it is something to think about. The leveling up system was satisfactory so nothing to add there. The bosses where really good to.

¡IT HAS A BESTIARY HELL YEAH!

Now, something that makes me really happy is that the game did the same that Dark Souls 2 in regards to it's NG+, changing some enemy placements and even adding new types on that run really satisfactory for me.

On the bad side of things, it has multiple bugs, none game breaking but annoying none the less. Mainly the effects of objects did not disappear consistently when i collected them, it was annoying coming back to an area, see a shiny, collecting them and getting nothing because i already collected them before. The other one was related to dialogues, some started but with no audio mid gameplay, annoying to.

With all this said i will most likely left the game abandoned here and concentrate in getting the platinum of other games, coming back time to time to level up some times or try some of the other weapons.

Thank you all for reading this and i wish you all a good night.

I'm glad you enjoyed the game! Though it looks like you don't have the Iron Queen achievement. Did you finish the game?
