Mordhau Review (Cite(Dookie Devourer))
I simply cannot recommend this game at all to new players. The amount of time you have to put in to master the game's combat is simply too much for the average player, I don't understand why anyone would tell someone to play for 100 hours just so you can be ok at the game. Every match is filled with veterans who have spent countless of hours mastering the game's mechanics, so trying to play or learn the game is made even harder. Dragging has to be one of the most annoying mechanics that I've ever seen, not only is it visually unappealing it feels downright unfair to go against.Not to mention accels, that can make your weapon go at the speed of light, this made even obvious when using a one handed weapon. Since there is no held block it makes it even harder to block drags and accels, its made easier for the ones who know how to use drags and accels to kill new players. Some of the weapons in the game feel broken such as the zweihander and the polearms, the drags on those weapons are simply unreadable at times, I've seen duels with players using these weapons and it looks like a contest of who can exploit the game the hardest. Although I've listed the negatives there are there is some positives, memeing in this game was some of the best fun i've had in any game I've played, not to mention the bards and "friendlies" that appear the game to make your much match feel more funny and relaxed. Although I've spoken ill about the games mechanics, it generally has some of the smoothest and fluid movement you'll find in any slasher. Overall, I feel the negatives outweigh the positives in my opinion, and memeing in this game can only do but so much. The more I play nowadays the more I get frustrated and I've been playing for a while, I can't imagine how it is for somebody new.
