it is fun but very hard
After some of the recent updates, it runs pretty well on my laptop on the medium preset 1080p. I can even play on some of the more intense maps like the forest and alley with multiple enemies. Weapon handling actually feels like an improvement over the demo, and building muscle seems to happen at a good rate. Not too slow, not too fast. I can honestly recommend the game now, even for people on lower end systems

would be best ever with multiplayer even just private match
GREATEST MEDIVAL GAME EVER
This game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks, why is the AI Aggressive as ♥♥♥♥ for no reason at all
Free play and progression are fantastic, better than the demo version in almost every way. I'm begging they find a way to make abyss enjoyable again though.
Lovely game, but it's not at its best right now. First of all, the optimization is horrible, but that's one of the "well-known" downsides of this game. Second, when I hit an enemy in the head three times with the Baron's weapon, they just lose their balance for a few seconds. Sure, you can probably kill them if you keep hitting them, but when the enemy's weapon "barely" touches my armor, somehow my character gets f*cking paralyzed for a second and I can't even raise my weapon. They can just keep doing that, and that's the only thing that really pisses me off. Despite a few other lil bugs, I'd give this game a 7 out of 10 overall. Keep up the good work, twins!!!
