The Last Faith Review (fayt93)
The game is kinda average, maybe on the worst side to me. The combat is boring.
There is no vertical attacks and the game have flying ennemies. Why ? I never understood why games do this. Why can't I attack or shoot while being crouch ? Why can't I aim with my gun or magic ? It's also impossible to cast magics or shoot in the air. You have a gun or magics you can't use on flying ennemies, this is ridiculous. But of course the ennemies don't follow the same rules as you and can precisely aim their projectile at you while you watch them with your useless gun.
Also you can't stay in the air while attacking them so you have to jump do only one attack fall and repeat, what a chore. Just ignore them and run. Nevermind just run, killing ennemies is not really worth, they have too much health and when you just have to spam 5-6 or 7 single boring attack without any fun combo for EACH ennemy it's just too much.
Keep in mind that the game is slow so you will clearly feel the 5-6 attacks you are doing and it's just one ennemy ! There are like 6-7 ennemies in each map. Good luck not falling asleep while killing something. I end up just running and ignoring everything if I can.
Maybe it's better with a strenght build I don't know.
And it's funny but the stargazer class start with a weapon without having the stat requirement of the starting weapon. I never saw that in a game. You have 10 DEX the weapons needs 12. you have 15 mind but no mind weapons. I'm like in the third area and still no mind weapons. I wish I could have a starting weapon fitting my class, even a shitty one just to feel good. It's not important in souls game because they have a lot of weapons and you will find one early but here in a smaller game attacking with a dex weapons you will keep a long time and as a mind build feels really bad.
Keep in mind that I don't even talk about difficulty or challenge just overall fun and feeling but bosses are not that challenging anyway.
For now the only thing decent is bosses. Not crazy they are still very simple but it's a good change of pace after running around the map.
For the exploration, it feels bad just because you don't have cool movement or nice platforming like hollow knight and you don't have interesting combat so it end up not being fun either. I would have refound the game if I can but I try pushing more hours to let a chance for the game to show me what it has but I'm kinda dissapointed.
Also stop listening about people saying it's like bloodborne just because it's dark. When you think bloodborne you think about fast pace combat that encourage aggresive playstyle which is clearly not the case here. I didn't want to be harsh with the game but it was so boring to me that it overwhelm any positive the game can have.
I really don't know who is the target audience for this game. So yeah waiting for the "every game is perfect or it's just not for you" people to give me clown points now.
