We got enough unreal engine 5 slop to last your entire life!



best slop goty 10/10
but fr how does it look worse than their previous game that literally came out 9 years ago and this game is identical to the playtests I played back in February literally nothing has changed except performance is better

This game is an amazing coop shooter you can play with friends with tons of cinematic moments and is extremely fun to play and blow things up and spread managed democracy the only issue is the games updates are not always handled well and there have been a fair few updates that missed the mark or were just out right bad decisions with what was involved. It some of the most incredibly high highs and some of the lowest lows but it way more highs than lows so its a great game overall just could be handled quite a bit better.

The Visuals:
The visuals jaw dropping there are many moments that have just insane views like when you first exit the cave in the DLC and see the Scadutree and the surrounding environment they know how to make really compelling and interesting environments. Enemy design is really cool they all have really cool designs including the bosses like the lion and messmer.

The Gameplay:
Its more of Elden Ring but a lot harder but still not unfairly hard. The difficulty is pretty standard for their DLC as they like to make their DLCs more difficult than the base game. The reason why its more difficult is because the amount of damage you receive and deal is DIRECTLY tied to the Scadutree fragments if you have a low Scadutree level your gonna have a more difficult time, you can get up to 20 Scadutree levels. Its literally the equivalent of upgrading your flasks and weapons but with a different resource and each level actually has a noticeable improvement every time you upgrade it so it feels like it matters to explore the amazing open world to look for these. If you are having trouble fighting the bosses there are still summons you can use its not cheating its part of the game. For example the lion boss fight I found incredible difficult so after I beat him I went back on another character I had at the same level and tested to see how much easier it would be if I used summons and no joke a mimic tear and the other NPC summon you can use outside the door to the boss arena could literally defeat the boss for you without you having to attack it or get very close to defeating it on their own while you just watch. The difficulty is literally up to the player if you want to have a hard time don't summon if you want to play and have a easier time look for Scadutree fragments and use summons and improve your defence having like 30 damage negation is going to make you have a bad time, If you use decent armour, defence talismans and boiled crab you can get like 80% damage negation, it literally makes them go from hitting you with a road roller to tickling you.

Performance:
For me I have a pretty average build a rtx 3060, 16GB ram and a r5 5600x its literally like the most average PC build on steam in 2023/4 (according to steam hardware survey) and I run the game at max settings at 60fps no issues for me at least but if you are having performance issues check to see if your PC is running as stable as possible as it can cause stuttering and inconsistent frame times. I have had similar issues for other games where they would cause my PC to be more unstable and stutter by improving stability it can help improve stutter but the developers can also do more to help make the software run better as well.

The game has incredible graphics, Amazing story and gameplay that feels like there is weight behind every action you do but not to the point where it gets in the way.

If crack was a game its this one

It's got cats
It's got a dedicated meow button
and you can knock things over

crashes all the time

If you like to rip and tear, you've came to the right place

One of the best rogue likes, cool environments, tons of enemy variety, absolutely killer soundtrack, this music could literally revive people from the dead its that good. It has tons of replay ability, its got interesting characters that play different from each other, if you are looking for more of a challenge there is a wave based game mode as well and a game mode that adds modifiers to your runs to make them harder for every time you beat it. It is worth the price and if its on sale that's a bonus.

This game is worth the money. I do like the art style. The game lasts about 2 hours if you like to complete games quickly and explore a little too. It can run on anything
