I went into Phantom Blade Zero knowing virtually nothing about it, other than one trailer I saw at some event, ages ago, and someone complaining it was 6 hours long.
Needless to say, I was thusly surprised it took me just shy of 40 hours to 100% it. Anyway, review on Saturday!
I'm only 6-7 hours in, but I'm really not sure how I feel about Phantom Blade Zero. The presentation is fantastic — the animations, the music, the graphics, and so on. But it hasn't clicked for me yet, on the gameplay side.
Take the telegraphing of enemy attacks. I feel less like I'm reading the attack or hitting a rhythm and feel more like I am blindly spamming deflect. Compared to Onimusha, for example, where every attack was perfectly readable from the start.

[ad] youtube.com/watch?v=HJx1vItJ… There's only a few days left to pick up the Darksiders Collection on GMG for $10! creators.gg/c/darksiders-col… It's an insanely good deal for a good franchise. Genesis in particular, is co-op and extremely fun.
youtu.be/gXs_dJc8qtk Dragon's Dogma 2 Dark Arisen review. It's packed with content. Dare I say, it fixed most of my issues with base DD2!
No Rest for the Wicked's new class system looks really cool. youtube.com/watch?v=9M236rDA… I am glad they started with the class that looks custom designed for me, too :')
youtube.com/watch?v=D4n1ZjZn… Ace Combat 8 — Review. Good game! Hope the online is fleshed out, though. Affiliate link if you want to pick up a copy: tidd.ly/4xDwP9z
Space Marine 3 going into a third year of content is really cool. I enjoyed that game a lot, it was a GOTY contender for me.
youtube.com/watch?v=L_47YDWd… Ah... there's the DYNASTY WARRIORS 3 REMASTERED Review... How did they find it!?
How is your experience going with Witcher 3 Remastered so far? Unfortunately, on my 4070TI I'm having insane performance issues unless I turn RT off completely. (Even Ultra Perf + FG is unplayable) Which is a shame, as I can play on the Next Gen version maxed out with RT.
That's in Novigrad, I should point out — out in the wilderness it's all right, but I generally base my settings around the worst scenario, as I hate having giant FPS cuts when I move into the heavier areas.
youtu.be/5sD6YBKQcMg Review of Onimusha! A GOTY contender for sure, I really liked this game. I also have a copy to giveaway, details in the video.
Dark Souls II seamless co-op is out. (In Alpha) Time for another playthrough, it seems. What build to use?
The mod also bundles in some nice QoL features, apparently! I'll probably combine it with one of those visual / lighting overhaul mods.
