Comment on God of War Laufey - Official Gameplay Reveal | PS5 Games
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 day agoI recently played Hell is Us, which is a soulslike game, and you don’t get a weapon or see any combat for like the first hour or two of the game. I almost thought I was playing the wrong game.

Was it worth it once the combat did start? I had been slightly interested in that game.

Eh… The combat itself is pretty lackluster. Not a lot of variety in weapons, the monsters are pretty uninspired (humanoids with holes for faces are the main trash mobs, while bosses are basically just geometric shapes and colors), and even on hard only the bosses are difficult, and not because they are hard exactly, but becsuse they’re just shapes their animations suck at telegraphing what they’re about to do… While it is a soulslike at heart, its focus is more on puzzle solving, exploration and dialogue. It’s actually more like an actual RPG than any other soulslike I’ve played except when it comes to character development.

Thanks for the info, that sounds like it may be worth passing on. The story looked like it had potential, but I heard mixed-poor reviews when it came out.
