Mortal Shell II

peak way better than the first mortal shell

Very fun. Probably the second best non FromSoft souls like out there right after Lies of P. Combat feels really good, lots of build variety, and the shell memories provide a serviceable story. The game's bosses are designed pretty well, although a lot of them might seem "too easy" for a lot of players. The beginning and middle game areas and enemies are awesome, but towards the back half, the environment and enemy variety leave some to be desired but because the game isn't super long, it's not as egregious as other games that suffer from similar issues/annoyances. TL;DR if you like souls like games, you will enjoy this one.

No more Soulslikes, I said. I'd played too many, and wanted to wait a few years until the next game by From appeared. But Mortal Shell II drew me back in. I was lukewarm on the original Mortal Shell, but its sequel feels like it was made by a completely different team. The combat is snappy, the graphics are sharp, and the whole thing runs terrifically on my RTX 3070. There is quite an interesting power curve. The game starts out with every single enemy feeling like a tense encounter. By the end of the game, I was a whirling avatar of death. The world design is packed with things to explore, and I was completely engaged. Just a few places felt lackluster, and unfortunately one of those was the final dungeon. Nevertheless, I quite enjoyed my time with Mortal Shell II. If you're looking to scratch that Soulslike itch, give this a shot!

This is a really fun game. And frustrating. And the story is weird. Reminds me of Dark Souls.

Игра прикольная. Эдакий Элден ринг для бедных. Исследовать мир интересно, но пока не прокачаешь пушку на максимум. Дальше нет смысла, ведь пушку можно перекачать и даже ресурсы останутся. А в секретках в основном камни для прокачки и камни для пасивок, которые не подходят к твоей пушке. Ну разве что для ачивок это всё надо.

A very good game tainted by an incredibly drawn out late-game with what I can only describe as the worst final boss in any souls-like I have ever played. All the boss did was spam disengage attacks and grabs what would take the tankiest character from 100-0, and then kill your physical body in the same attack. And then to add insult to injury, final phase would disable your ability to regain your shell, the mechanic that has been paramount throughout the entire game. Absolute shame that the game managed to leave a sour taste in my mouth after such a great journey overall. Still would recommend to play for the combat overall, however the story is not very strong if that's something you're looking for.

i like it alot
