Mortal Shell II

I want to update this once I have finished and allowed the honeymoon phase to pass, but after 20+ hours in the last two days.... This is the greatest Soulslike not made by FromSoftware and it is even better than some of their earlier titles. I have always mourned the fact that developers don't design their worlds like how FromSoftware did DS1 and this is the first game that I think gets anywhere close to that quality. The combat is phenomenal, the environments and art/imagery is immaculate, the build variety/quality and progression is superb however I would have preferred the XP that tarstones require to be used for Shells as that urges me to diversify and try others rather then put all my glimpses into one basket and have a hard time investing into more shells or let glimpses come from using shells as well. The only other criticism I could truly give as of now is how simple the bosses are. I understand the player due to variety only having 3 piece combos for light and heavy but bosses will fade in memory if they are one trick ponies or to basic and most of the time I only have to remember two combos and theyll primarily use 1 which makes the fight repetitive and may urge the balancing side of development just make getting hit more punishing which artificially inflating the risk is not a good method of balancing. All in all 8/10 if I am being stingy and considering the next on my list of Soulslikes are generous mid to low 7/10s like Lies of P, Stellar Blade, Remnant 2 and Lords of the Fallen thats no small feat. I would even be comfortable saying 9/10 but I want to finish first.

9 Stunden in und bisher keine Bugs oder Performance Probleme. Spielt sich super gut und wer hätte gedacht, dass ein Spiel mehr Spaß macht wenn man kein Ausdauerbalken hat. Das einzige was mich stört sind die schlechten Spawnpunkte.

Mortal Shell II is an overall enjoyable experience. I really enjoy the re-work of the shell system from the previous game and the level design is a real highlight of the game. I really like how the tarstones can add variety to how the weapons are used and how they're even limited to specific weapons which gives each weapon (in some capacity) a unique use and feel beyond the weapons inherent attack speed and animations. I recommend this game, but with a bit of a caveat. While the experience overall is very enjoyable, the last area really did sour my experience. Frankly, it nearly made me hate this game. I really didn't want to hate this game, but damn it did that last area nearly brought me to it. As you may have seen some other reviews mention the last area is really a slog. It honestly doesn't even matter if you have a really good build. Two of the three bosses (especially that stone tablet looking one that I can't remember the name of) was absolutely ridiculous. They even nerfed it since then and thankfully it isn't as bad, but man was that an insufferable boss! And the of course the final boss... My goodness... The final boss... I honestly wanted to quit that boss pissed me off so much. Of course, I eventually beat it after beating my head against the wall. Mind you: I did this before the week one patched that nerfed boss. Shoot I even got all the achievements which I enjoyed (mostly). So why is it that this last area is so hated? Well, I think I have a theory as to why. Now in my case I have play all the souls games since Demon's Souls and have beaten most of them multiple times. I have also played a complete a few soul-likes, so it isn't like I'm some kind of novice. What it seems like to me is expectation. A lot of the earlier to mid-game isn't too difficult. You will die here and there, but for the most part (unless you just aren't very familiar with this style of game) it won't seem too unfair. Problem is when have such a jarring and massive difficulty spike in the last area of the game it sets up the wrong set of expectations. From having played enough games of this style, they usually were fairly difficult throughout the entirety of it. This is actually the opposite of the previous game which was brutally difficult in the first few hours and gets easier as you progress. If this game were to make the last area's difficulty spike less severe, I think there when be many less gripes about it. So be warned: I recommend this game, but don't be surprised if the last area makes you want to refund the game (which if you've gotten that far obviously you won't be able to).

Is good.

好玩

O jogo está rodando sem nenhum problema, além de estar ótima a gameplay que deu uma aprimorada desde o primeiro, juntamente de mudanças que podem agradar uns e desagradar outros, mas para mim que jogou muito o primeiro (No ps), foi uma grande melhoria. Sobre a história não preciso dizer muito, está bem legal.

经常容易弹出，游戏打久了有点审美疲劳，武器性价比差别太大，没有太多特色，节奏方面有时有点说不出来的怪。
