    Code from Ninja Team and XBOX. Reviewed on mostly xbox
    Gamepass helps for this one.
    In this Wo Long Fallen Dynasty review, we'll be looking at what the game is about, what kind of graphics you can expect, and whether or not it's worth your time and money.
    Before we get started, I want to mention a few things. First of all, Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is not for everyone. Its a Dark Souls action game with. Secondly, the game does have some technical issues.

      I would not base a whole purchase on a single person opinion, this is his personal opinion and you could feel differently if you play the game, watching reviews is important of course, but i would consider try the demo, the game looks like hella fun and the bad things that the reviewer points out you maybe wouldn't even noticed them. Not every game has to be a masterpiece to be a good game.

    After playing the demo, I had a really fun time (I suffered performance issues on my 3070 that vanished after I capped to 60). I understand ACG's review on the game and am worried about the longevity of it especially since people complained that the stance system is gone. However, I'm also the guy that played both Nioh games for the setting and aesthetic and as someone who grew up playing Dynasty Warriros, the Three Kingdoms setting + souls-like formula is something that really interests me. I had no problem with the voice acting since I can just read english and listen to either Chinese or Japanese. I'm quite excited.

    • @TerraWare
      @TerraWare Pƙed rokem +1

      Yeah the demo had performance issues like a 60 fps cap but the frametimes were quite bad with constant dips and I have a higher end build. The release version has 120 fps cap and while not perfect as far as frametimes go it's way better and quite enjoyable. I'm liking it.

    After beating the demo I placed my order on Steam, despite the stutters (which were dreadful) I had fun with it and the South African pricing was quite fair. The day after I pre-ordered the base price increased to over the previous Deluxe Edition pricing, and the base price is more in line with Elden Ring, which I think is a major misstep given the issues (and support saying "we can't promise that we'll fix these issues")
    I did have an issue with voice volume, whether stereo or surround, at the start of the demo blindfold guy was yapping away and I couldn't here anything he said and of course in battle not bothering to keep up with the subtitles, something is not quite right with the voice volume during gameplay for me.
    As always thanks for the great reviews! Looking forward to potential Last of Us Part 1 (PC) and Resi 4 reviews :D

    I feel like the caveat to this being an “easier” Soulslike is going to be how well that you can use the parry mechanic. If you’re good at identifying the timing and rhythm of enemy combos, you can trivialize a lot of the content. If you can’t? Hope that you bought controller insurance.

      "miss input"... I felt when playing the Demo so many times that I hit the Parry button, but still got hit nonetheless. I thought the timing must be very tight and thought that difficulty of pressing the button in such a tiny time window is way to hard for me. So I guess it might be that miss input, didn't happen allot but it did happen.

    My own personal comments you ACG, regarding the review. I know gamepass exists, but for me personally I'd prefer if your conclusions are given still in regards to whether its worth a buy, rent or wait for sale. Thats because I pay gamepass for some time and then stop it when I see no games worth it. A game rated as buy pr wait for sale, to me, speaks louder as to how worthy a game is. When it's on gamepass well, your review really wouldn't matter since I could just try it out myself.

    Love ACG reviews, and can't comment on most of the opinions here. But playing the intro level, I absolutely think the first boss is a skill check and is really not that easy. I may be bad, but I have finished every Fromsoft game and most other soulslikes and it's at least a challenge. It is also testing the players grasp of the deflect mechanic, which is the definition of a skill-check boss

    ...I don't know if we can say the voice acting is bad, if you only listened to it in English? I mean...this is a Chinese inspired game, it's default language is Chinese when you first play it. I would even take a guess, the Japanese voice acting would be much better, because it is made by a Japanese company. I like your videos Karek, but don't you think this is a bit of a strange thing to nitpick? we don't expect western games like assassins creed to have stellar Chinese voices. Why should we expect Wo long to have good english voice acting? (Honest question)

    Nice review. Time for Team Ninja/Tecmo to reinvent themselves again. I feel like they do this. They had Ninja Gaiden which was good but it went down the same path ultimately. They reinvented themselves with Nioh and copying the soulslike genre and are going down the same path. Not a bad developer. But they definately seem to follow trends as far as the industry is concerned as much as they set trends. They get the main things right as far as the action genre but their games become a mess after a while. Not as good or bad as some developers. They are one of the good guys and middle of the road even still.

    Im still at the early stages of the game but its pretty fun so far. Theres not a ton of exploring to do but theres enough for me. Combat is definitely more of the focus here and i love how the systems reward you for playing aggressively. I feel like they should have done what Sekiro did and map block and deflect/parry to the same button. Tap to deflect/parry, hold to block. Now the O button can be just be tied to dodge, no need for double tapping. Blocking feels so useless in this game anyways I barely ever use L1 at all.

    I like the style of this game, but some of the pitfalls that you mentioned are making me a bit doubtful. Especially when it comes to the repetition. Gamepass helps in this regard. At least I'll give it a try eventually.
