What players say
Underrated game. Feels like an arcadeish Dark Souls. Has SEAMLESS coop which is amazing and you can finish the whole game with a friend. Maybe I would consider to do NG+ in the future. Quick note: If you bought the DLC (not a bad DLC btw), it can be accessed after defeating final boss Recommended 8/10
Excellent, plus a veritable artistic bounty, 10/10. Surprising and refreshing from start to finish. -- 71 y.o. gamer, I make my own C.E. tables for all games, so some hints for other mature gamers or the interested. For example, the Sourcerer, Health initial 657 and Stamina 117, current and max are Float, Simple Values. All 4 grouped together, ending in hex 88, 8C, 90 and 94. Freeze and/or input any value, 999...
Why do devs that don't understand what it takes to make a good souls-like, insist on making souls-likes? The worst part may be the pause and screen every. single. time. you get hit.
