Hmm, Souls like game apparently, out on the 18th..pre-ordered it on Series X (for £25 I thought why not!).

I'll definitely be getting this on ps5. The game looks cool.

As an update the review embargo has lifted, early signs look pretty good with averaging around 7-8 out of 10. The main reviews seem to be saying its quality over quantity with the main game taking between 10-15 hours but it does have multiple endings so may need a few playthroughs to completely see everything. Boss battles look pretty epic with multiple phase fights. The combat looks excellent with some comparing it to Sekiro (which has me sold).

The upgrades, plague weapons, potions and talents all look to be pretty deep. You can respec for no cost at any time to try out different styles (hallelujah).

For a budget game this looks really good - I can't wait to play it on Thursday.

How much is it? Can’t see a price on the ps app.

Does look like a decent soulslike though.

Looks pretty cool, but more DMC like than souls like with all the jumping about and flashy lights?

Might give it a go if the price is right. Can’t see any pricing on the PS app.

On hotukdeals a site has the physical for £21.88 which has a 1% discount so should be around £22.

Mythmoo a regular from soft streamer has some of his playthrough videos up on YouTube. If like me your not bothered about spoilers then they are pretty good.

Yeah might take a punt digital sounds like a £24.99 job or thereabouts.

Plainsong · 18 Aug 2022 at 07:20

Showing now £24.99 but with a 20% PS+ discount until next Weds so £19.99.

Interesting, the reviews look alright as well.

BuffetSlayer · 18 Aug 2022 at 10:28

Anyone picked this up today and if so what are your thoughts?

jennidc · 19 Aug 2022 at 20:29

I'm really enjoying it so far. But even as a souls veteran the 1st level boss was very difficult. Not quite Isshin Sword Saint level but it took me 4 hours to beat him. I'm on the second level but have done all but 1 of the sub missions in level 1. It's combat is excellent and I really like the plague weapon system. It's well worth the money and is probably my favourite souls like (aside from fromsoft games and nioh).

I have now completed Thymesia. I will definitely replay at some point. I really enjoyed it - fingers crossed for some dlc

nice. how was it? I mean was it really difficult?

McBain · 26 Aug 2022 at 09:56

Yeah I was interested in this but if the difficulty is up there around Ishin think ill save myself the agro. Took me a good solid 8hours straight to beat him, it was driving me nuts.

The levels themselves were not too difficult. Some of the bosses were though the first boss in particular took me 4 hours of retrying. One of the later bosses seemed impossible until I slanted my build to parry skills - then that boss became trivial. Its definitely going to be a marmite game (love or hate). I loved it.
