Game looks amazing. Smooth 40-50 fps with high settings and RTX on, 2070 super and 5900X, nothing special. Crashed once. It's literally fine for day 1. People are tripping.

Instant classic. Game is surprisingly deep, with lots of unique characters, enemies, weapons, secrets and fairly straight-forward achievements. Molto bene.

My home is of the past. And the past, as they say, is a different country.

Great souls-like. Deep customization. Lots of weapon choices. Fun combat. Actually decent multiplayer. 10/10, would unify Japan again

boss camp, insta-burn, girlboss

played on acid/shrooms let me tell you this is an EXPERIENCE

Can't recommend currently. I'll elaborate on some things I like and then the things that are just unacceptable.

The good:
New public dungeon (Deadlands) is really cool. New trial is really cool. Companions start out trash, but leveling them up can make them pretty useful, especially in 4-man normal dungeons when someone drops out. You can unlock a few abilities from Undaunted/Mages Guild/Fighters Guild and they do drop synergies.

The bad:
On launch, companion gear was getting permanently lost (as reported by me and many other players. They'd end up wearing absolutely no gear and fighting with fists, some losing gear they farmed hours for), world boss respawn timers are still absurd, killing Toad-Tongue boss wasn't giving completion credit, and loads of other game-breaking bugs. Companions don't have customization options besides dyes, costumes and outfit pieces, so expect to see a lot of clones. You also have to carry their extra gear, because they carry no burdens for you. A lot of these issues were brought up by players on the PTS for weeks so Zos has no real excuse.

The worst:
The new BiS mythic everyone is grinding for has leads that have players farming nodes in Shadowfen for days and mob extermination in Bal Foyen (a starter zone) that completely butchers the new player experience in Ebonheart Pact. That said zone chat has been "interesting" and end-game players are literally fighting over node spots.

Purchased the "deluxe edition". Game doesn't work at all. Uplay asks for a game key every time you try to launch. If you enter the game key, it tells you it's already active on your account and does nothing. I was told by Ubisoft support that due to the remastered release of ACIII, there is a technical issue on Ubisoft's side that makes accessing the deluxe edition of ACIII impossible. The only way to play the game is to write to Steam's general support and request a copy of ACIII standard edition to play instead. Steam doesn't care to refund you, provide any DLC, or upgrade you to the remastered edition that includes all DLC. Last time I ever purchase a "deluxe" anything from Ubisoft.

This is a souls-like that takes place on a Gigeresque space station and can be bought extremely cheap (<$6) on game key stores. For the $20 I spent when this game was 40% off, I got 34 hours of really fun gameplay out of it, with a small fraction of that on co-op. Its unique spin is that it lets you raise or lower the difficulty of enemies in each sector to account for gear mismatch, which I love, but boss fights were a touch too easy sometimes, especially with a teammate. Take your time in this game and look for secrets, it's worth it.
