Love choking my Willy in the cellar
A parapalegic runs better than this game as soon as a drop of blood is spilled and the physics causes all sorts of freakouts. Nontheless, this game is a masterpiece when it works. Give it a year or two and I'm sure the opimization will improve but until then, this game is a 30fps gem.
Was super excited to finally pick this up after having played the demo for years since it's finally optimized enough to be playable. Unfortunately the physics have gotten comically ridiculous, and I've had several times where either my opponent or I take an awkward step and break a leg or swing a little too hard and break an arm. Not really fun to play when you constantly risk losing progression by just walking towards your opponent.

tuff tuff tuff sahur. you can make hulk
Love the concept of this game and do really like the gameplay and combat. However, there is no reason the demo should feel more polished at times and yet it does. In terms of the combat its good but you shatter your bones just by thinking of walking somewhere though to there credit the enemy's do seem harder. But the ragdoll just is built to make you mad i mean spawning into the abyss just to be stuck flopping on the ground because you cant get out the coffin or just tripping on air on flat ground is just a recipe to have a broken monitor. It feels like the game is going to punish you for wanting to do more complex movement and such. the game has come far since the demo and is much more fleshed out but I still find myself enjoying the gameplay of the demo more.
20 Euro downgrade of the free demo version Story is a pain in the ass the npcs barely fight and just stand around Graphics that barely work the physiks are complitely random and no optimisation your weapons dont even scratch the enemys but the enemys weapons reduce your atoms with just one touch Only good thing added was the bone breaking Overall I hate almost everything about this version and want the demo back
