Mortal Shell - Soulslike RPG

I'm sold, unique vibe and def. have their own thing going. Between this and lords of fallen 2 single player soulslike are in a great spot.

Out now if you get the deluxe edition. Only 55 dollars (I think based on conversion) which isn't the most expensive considering todays prices.



Based on the reviews I glanced over. Bigger and better than the first game in every way, negatives mostly around some small performance issues.

I'll be playing it later today. I'll suck at it of course, but I liked the open beta up until the end; got to the poison area and upgraded an item that gave poison immunity... but apparently that area and the mobs used a different type of poison, so I stopped.

1st one sucked so I'm not really sure why people are looking forward to this.

Play the demo and if you don't like it, well carry on.

Been playing for a couple hours now. You get access to a new area that was locked during the demo which has a new Shell and Sidearm. Since I'm not so great at most "soulslikes" I decided to use the Slayer artifact thing. It does make the game easier, but you can no longer block/parry. It does give you a very strong special attack that requires about a 2 second charge, but it will usually one tap normal mobs, stagger tough mobs (for a Riptose) and generate a lot of stagger/break on bosses. If the boss gives you time to charge the attack, it makes the fight easy. It will also heal for a big chunk of health on a Riptose.

I've had no performance issues with DLSS/Quality/High settings, but I think they tried to get too fancy with some lighting effects, especially in foggy areas... makes it hard to see shit. They also seem to like exploding objects and exploding mobs. So beware of where you're swinging, lol.
