i need to hurry up and finish the 1st one, Damit !
There's a quick breakdown on what happens in the first one (which I did, since I don't want to miss anything), but AW1 is great fun anyway, so I'd play through it.
Decided to play on the highest difficulty, so far, even with basic enemies, it's fun and a challenge. There's way to trigger weak points, and finishers etc, so I need to work those out, but you don't need them to kill things, they just speed it up from what I can tell.
Played a bit more, maybe another 30 minutes, I wasn't outside before, I'm now one puzzle room away (I can see the sky at least). Combat at first was very "button mash" for me, but I'm trying to work on proper parrying and deflecting projectiles now, seems to work better, and with more enemies, "mashing" doesn't work well enough.
