Along with the optimization making the game nigh unplayable at times (it's even worse than the demo's), it seems they've tuned the difficulty up unreasonably so.
After hours of attempts, I had finally beat the Ultimate Challenge in the demo. The game was difficult, but almost everything felt skill based. The characters in the demo were fragile but fair. If you played well you could avoid getting hit and walk away unharmed. Now it seems that getting near enemies is a guaranteed death sentence, with their weapons immediately severing limbs by just being in your proximity. This is also true for the enemies, but when you have to fight multiple of them in a row without heals it feels kind of unfair. The abyss zombies also instakill you immediately with a bite to the head, so don't get your hopes up about respawning after being chopped in half by a knife.
I won't refund (yet) because I believe the devs can fix these bugs and I really enjoyed the demo, but if you're currently on the fence about this game, I would highly recommend waiting a bit for fixes to make the game playable.

Great but brutally difficult. You have to be swift but also precise in your planning and execution.
I don't know I would personally say it's an "overwhelmingly positive" game but maybe 100%'ing the game would change that.

Probably the best VR game in recent history. Can't wait to see where the devs take it next.

I was excited to play this game as it seemed to be very similar to BaS but with much more content and even a multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, I can't bring myself to even see that content because the core component of a vr swordfighting game, hitting things with swords, just feels awful and unresponsive. It feels similar to if you've ever tried punching or otherwise hitting something in a dream, very sluggish and has little impact. If the game could get an update bringing the physics of the swordplay on par with BaS, I would be very interested in giving it another try.

Jerma sucks at this game and so do i

a work of art even with its various flaws (looking at you lost izalith and the titanite demon hitboxes)

the mace alone made this the best game ever

i play it on the xbox app instead but it's goated either way

the bugs can open doors
