Mortal Shell II

So far I’m really enjoying this game. The combat is extremely fun and feels brutal. Dismembering enemies is always cool. The shell designs are fantastic so far, both visually and gameplay wise. The world is very dark and ominous which really works well with the overall feel of the game imo. The enemy designs are really cool, however I do feel like the non-boss mobs are quite strong. As in all of them do a-lot of damage, all the way from the classic scrawny mobs to big ones. I feel like there should be a balance change in that aspect. I shouldn’t feel threatened by a foot soldier that is the size of a pencil! Another issue with this game are the beacon locations, they’re few and far in between! I’m not saying there should be a-lot but for a good change for dungeons is that there should be something similar to Elden Rings Stake of Marika. Where if you die in the dungeon you would respawn at the entrance of the dungeon. That would be a huge QoL change! Also the prophet shell (i forgot the name) feels extremely underpowered, which is such a shame cause he’s so cool! Sacrificing half my life to use his power for almost no reward is a bad design. Other shells get bigger damage without losing any health whatsoever. Idk if this is a bug or what but something doesn’t feel right about it. Give more reward for making me lose half my hp pls! Overall I recommend this game for souls-like fans, combat is great, visuals are great and the story is decent so far.
