You're making me what to buy it just to see it. Lol. Which sucks because I'm pretty sure it was on PS+ but I forgot to add it to my collection.
Is it a good game in your opinion? I've seen the general consensus is no.
Opinions vary, it's like a pendulum.
You'll either love or hate it.
And I think that depends on how you handle the dodge system which seems to stem where all the hate comes from and people seem to nitpick things that they overlooked in other games to justify it not being "just the dodge system" they had trouble with.
The game is good and I enjoyed my time with it
It's like one of those game series that the sequel is a masterpiece but the original is just good with obvious potential.
A bit like the first Uncharted
There's no backtracking and it continually pushes you forward.
That doesn't mean you don't return to areas, but if you do it's on the game story term's.
The story is nothing to write home about but the acting does punch it above it's weight.
The audio design is fantastic (which makes sense as a lot of the budget was on sound design )
Combat is like Dead Space but more melee heavy.
You dodge by pressing left or right on the stick during an attack and down to block.
Sounds simple enough? Yes it is... pretty natural actually
but for some just that couldn't get the flow of it
I imagine continuous frustrating deaths animations is what they experienced.
If you enjoy it is a question I can't answer, but given the price it's at....I really can't see how you could go wrong either way.
