This, Pragmata, and the Bond game are the three AAA games that made my must play list this year.

I played the original demo and was a bit underwhelmed by the combat. It was way too easy, but more importantly, the trash mobs felt almost completely passive when you were fighting groups. They would just stand around waiting for their turn instead of putting any real pressure on you.
I'm a huge Sekiro fan and played it to NG+4, so I probably had pretty high expectations going in. The game looks great though, and I haven't played the extended demo yet, so I'm curious if they made any improvements.

Looks good but I’ve got Asian souls style game fatigue. Every 6 months another one drops (nioh,wuchang, wolong, wwm etc). Give us a new setting other than grey/brown Asia w katanas.

Opencritic also thinks one of the worst games of this year (FH6) is the best.


Initially wrote this off as just another parry slop game, but it does sound a bit deeper than that. Not enough to buy it now (especially since Capcom still infects all their PC games with denuvo) but worth keeping an eye on for an Xbox sale someday.

Surprised to hear FH6 considered one of the worst. Just curious. I’ve been interested in a casual race game. Was eyeing FH5
