I’m not sure I’m looking forward to that. tbh I’m not really in the mood for tough as nails games right now in general. yeah, i'm at a malenia type mini boss. fast af and will stun lock you to death. she's doable with a long range weapon, careful dodges. extremely doable with weapon arts and weapon art consumables, and a cakewalk with grenades, thermite and throwing cells. as for final bosses, you'll get the ability to buff your summon. i haven't used it yet, but it's wild. once you access the fruit tree, you can gain the abilities. one of the buffs trigger your summon (well, spectre) to generate aggro, while having increased health (you can just unload your weapon arts or launch items unscathed) . so, while playing it straight up (pure sword play and arm attachment) is the preferred choice for the hardcore, there are enough ways to drop the difficulty. i dare say navigating through words 5 and 6 have been surprisingly easy. let's see how it holds up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know what the little blue marks in front of the roman numeral for each world mean? I have that in world 2 and then there's some kind of icon next to one of the areas. I wonder if thats some kind of side quest I can seek out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The change in setting is very cool. The game also continues to introduce interesting new systems that add more variety to the gameplay. Other Souls-likes like Steelrising for example now feel so barebones in comparison. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sabo 442 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Finished Scars Above. Don't recommend, play literally anything else. Game is only like 6 hours long but it's the most bland 6 hours ever because everything about the game is just so damn basic. It's like the perfect average game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The voices dont seem like they are coming from the character and the lip sync is bad. Of course the combat is meh on console. its 30fps. When was the last time we played a 30fps shooter on console. BLAH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me and the specter only attacked the dude and I was able to get him down to 1/3rd of his health before the specter died. I started panicking cause now I had 4 motherfuckers coming at me but I managed to run around and dodge them while spamming the big guy with thermite. Took out that remaining 1/3rd HP bar in like 10 seconds 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If this game just had a average difficulty level I would be enjoying it more. I especially can't stand Spoiler these 2 phase boss fights. Probably my least favorite thing in gaming in general. Im at the King of Puppets boss fight and having to beat his first phase every single time before getting to the 2nd form just feels like an annoying waste of time.
