1666: Amsterdam

Loveee the game so farrrr, even if its in early stages its so amazing and the story is perfect

Another movie game. This one was worse than Resonance, I thought at least I would start playing as a witch and shoot people and stuff, but honestly; this whole 1 hour monologue to understand the main character its just boring and dull. Frames dropped too during gameplay, movement is weird to be honest.

Im Großen und Ganzen finde ich das Spiel wirklich richtig gut und hoffe, dass es in Zukunft noch ein bisschen überarbeitet und verbessert wird. Was mich momentan etwas stört, ist die teilweise fehlerhafte Übersetzung zwischen Deutsch und Englisch. Ein gut gemeinter Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre außerdem vielleicht ein kleiner Leitfaden oder Hinweise, wo es weitergeht. Ich finde es teilweise extrem mühsam, ständig herumlaufen und alles absuchen zu müssen, bis man endlich die richtige Stelle findet, an der es weitergeht. Dadurch verbringt man manchmal mehr Zeit mit Suchen als mit dem eigentlichen Spielen. Grafisch finde ich das Spiel ebenfalls sehr gelungen, auch wenn es hier und da noch ein paar kleinere Fehler gibt. Ich bin auf jeden Fall schon sehr gespannt auf die nächsten Updates und freue mich darauf zu sehen, wie sich das Spiel weiterentwickelt!

I have enjoyed this game immensely

The vibes are immaculate but genuinely this game is not really in a decently playable state. It feels like an early alpha because there's just too much that makes it annoying to play. Copy pasted environments. Sometimes the signposting is too easy "I need to go here", round a corner "hey you can go over there!", round another corner and you're already there. Other times the signposting is obtuse. Since every building looks identical it's hard to know where the important ones are. The looting is just really annoying, I found it easier to just go Witch mode and explode everything. The combat just outright sucks. Dodging is inconsistent. One time I started a boss battle and it instantly did a 3 tap combo killing me before I could even move my character. I had a tonne of potions but if you die you lose all the potions you consumed before your last encounter. Once you run out, your only option is to spend ages just looting to get ingredients to make more or try to essentially beat the boss with no hits. Spellcasting, one of the main draws of the game, is practically useless during combat. It has a long cast time meaning you get hit if you try to use it during combat. The combat arenas are too restrictive to make good use of spells. Bosses will often destroy objects you can use to attack them so your only option is to use rebuild and then destroy, using up two of your LUX charges. Even with a perfect spellcast it takes a good 5 seconds to absorb charges, again making you vulnerable to hits. So your only option for combat? Use just your staff. Hit dodge hit. Wait for the boss to stagger. Hit hit hit, dodge. Repeat. If you die you have a roguelike option to pick new abilities that are randomised, but some rolls are completely useless for certain scenarios. The bosses also pick a new moveset every time you try them again, some are too easy and some are incredibly annoying. For example one moveset is just the boss doing the same three attacks then getting tired while another is the boss sprinting around the arena and teleporting away when you get close.

I see what the game is trying to be, but it's hard to get the full picture when textures look wildly unfinished, you waste minutes at a time just walking ACHINGLY slowly, there is so little to do as Aaron that his character feels like the writers said "Fine! You want diversity? Take it!" And sloppily tossing a history fanboy (rather than a professor) that walks like he has a bad case of jock itch at you. Movement freedom in kitty mode is frustratingly limited. Stray came out how long ago? There are so many cat simulation games out now that making the experience so rough isn't easily forgivable now, especially when you've dedicated a third of playtime to being a cat... That mostly being because you have to spend forever getting the right camera angle to go up pipes or jump ledges. The three healthbars and unforgiving combat could be forgiving if losing didn't mean skipping two cutscenes and walking all the way back from the safe house. I mean, we already have to wait through so much. Could the cutscenes and walking be done with until official release, at least? Just drop us back to right before the battle starts for the ezbats so that the entirety of this pre-release isn't making my Refund Karen alter-ego itch. And morally... Really? THAT much AI? And where the heck is the CEO's PR team? Are they not getting paid enough to let the CEO know when to keep their mouth shut?

I was gonna open up with a joke for some likes; however, i honestly can't find a good one right now but since we are talking about jokes, let's talk about the game itself. Concept is nothing groundbreaking but ok, immersive thanks to great music and VA's. Combat is dogsh*t. Swing your staff once and you'll never wanna swing it ever again. Since AI's doing most of the work let it write the dialogues as well since its a pile of dogsh*t as well. It needs so much work to even be considered and early access game sadly.
