    The deflect system almost reminds me a lot (in feel) of the parry in Ghost of Tsushima, when you pull it off consecutively (especially on bosses) you just feel so bad ass knocking a monster or big bad guys combo down to nothing and just turning the momentum around on them and ending with a big attack. This game really rewards you for learning movesets of your enemies and it makes getting your ass kicked feel a little more forgivable because of how awesome you feel.

      Don't compare this trash to ghost lol ghost had a block/parry button this game has its parry tied to the dodge which will lead you to dodging instead of parrying and getting hit plus there's a major issue currently where the frame rates directly affect the speed of the games so any stutters or non consistent frames keeps the attacks constantly changing on there timing which makes it just annoying when you parry every attack of a combo one time the miss them completely the next time doing the same exact thing.

      @@Thiccness_Is_Delicious it’s tied to the same button yeah but one tap is a parry and two taps is a dodge. Pretty easy to do them separately and it’s satisfying like a perfect parry in ghost to pull off a parry in this game. If you don’t agree that’s more than fine obviously I was just comparing the feelings of success with two mechanics in two games that give me the same badass feeling is all

    5:11 What works is the thing I've been harping on for years: Consumables suck, "refillable containers" are king. You've infinite uses of the spells as long as you can spare the spirit and aren't limit locked, so you're encouraged to used them instead of being discouraged by scarcity and hoarding syndrome.

    After playing the game for a good bit I absolutely love it and for those who found the first boss to be a wall. I recommend just luring him into the corner near the cliff and face hugging in phase 1, it's super easy to just dodge/counter every critical attack as its heavily telegraphed and his basic attacks have a small wind up as well. Even if you fight him normally it's easy once you memorize his attacks as for phase 2, just get him down to half health and use the divine beast which is X and B for the cuteness.
    The game also has a super easy mode in the form of reinforcements, you can have up to two and once you unlock shenlong and use the divine meter speed up skill, you basically have a full health and revive for them, it's basically like magic or ashes from Elden ring, a built in easy mode of sorts.

    Day 1 patch seemingly makes a huge difference. I've had zero issues with stutter or lag, and input has been snappy. I'm pleasantly surprised by how good the game's first impression is - and I'm personally a huge fan of Diablo-style loot systems (i.e. LOADS OF LOOT). I'm playing at 1440p with more or less max (except shadows). Apparently DLSS will be introduced in coming weeks also!

    Great review as usual! The moment the combat hit for me in the demo, I knew this was an instant buy. I find the gameplay loop incredibly satisfying, with lots of different options. I do agree with the presentation and it's easily the weakest point for me: the layout of the areas is not that exciting and, like you said, the visuals sort of feel dated. The choreography during the cutscenes definitely surprised me too though; some fun stuff in those. But yea, so far, it has been living up to my excitement!

    I kind of agree with the dodge point. I thought I was the only one feeling like it's lackluster. I haven't been able to pull one off without getting hit yet, and am starting to wonder whether or not it has I-frames in it. Kind of wondering the point if the parry is better to begin with and does more for you.

      @@cenciende9401 The thing is with souls games you were never forced to learn how to parry. To me parry in those games was unreliable, unrewarding, and definitely not necessary to beat the game. Sekiro on the other hand was consistant once you got good at it, rewarding, and in most cases necessary if you wanted to beat bosses. I only played this game for 30 minutes but the combat definitely gave me the sekiro wibes and felt smooth and very rewarding...most importantly it was fun. While i enjoyed souls games i always felt as if i was almost cheesing the game by having to roll so much where as Sekiro i felt like i actually needed sill to beat the game.

      @@15xgg80 Agreed, the difference between DS Parry and Sekiro Parry is that Sekiro's directly interacts with a resource that is a core mechanic of the combat. The DS parry is just an additive that's nice if you do it but not necessary/intended to be perfected/trained to progress.

      ​@@cenciende9401 You cannot use Dark Souls parry as a reliable tool in all fights. It is unusable with any animal opponents, and too few bosses are parryable. It is a lot of risk for little return. I still master the parry as much as I can in DS games, because I like learning the movesets and countering enemies, but parry feels like an abandoned child in quite a few fights. It is a gimmick there, instead of a core mechanic.
      Elden Ring is a huge improvement in that area. Not perfect, but way better than DS. Parry is still not a core mechanic, the ridiculous rolling through attacks and blocking are. The fact that parry is an Ash of War instead of a base skills says it all.
      So, it is perfectly possible to master the DS/ER parry, and still consider it a lacking implementation.

    Yup, sounds like a successor game to the Nioh series. Even down to some bosses being easy until you run up against 1 that will just wreck you for a few days until you get the fight down. The trend is usually moderately easy first time through if you are a fan of soulslike games, then it just ramps up and up as you replay. That's all classic Nioh stuff. Mid story + great combat and a wide selection of gear. I think I'm gonna go for this one. I loved Nioh 1 and 2 plus I enjoyed Sekiro and most other soulslike games so Its a no brainer really. I think the only thing that might make me wait a bit is if it has horrible bugs on PC or something like that.

    ...Wo Long tho feels like a budget version of that. Levels are WAY smaller and boring, artstyle is not as strong, build variety is there but it's less compeling... Overall I do hope we gonna get a sequel but for now, after finishing it, instead of going into NG+ I... installed Nioh 2 again.

      I greatly enjoyed the combat system in SoP, but the story and use of "alternate timelines" in order to not to tick off the fanbase felt like an extremely lazy copout. They wanted to rewrite an old game specifically to appeal to current generations (which I understand wanting to do for the best monetary gain and because the original story is basic as heck) which I feel was a mistake, at least for the sake of the story. I would have preferred something more similar to FF1's world over the extremely high tech world we were presented, but that's just a minor gripe. Jack was also a bit hard for me to stomach, but at least he was hilarious and provided many memes with how ridiculous he was. At least what we were provided by Team Ninja was actually pretty good and I'll essentially play most games they release because they're generally fantastic in the combat department, SoP being no exception with their classes and great combat.
