The Blood of Dawnwalker

Early impressions: Performance is ♥♥♥♥. Already had to look up how to deal with some shimmer and flashing lights issues that UE5 games love to have. FPS is not so good, and frame gen introduces even more shimmering and blinking. Gameplay is great. The combat isn't clunky at all; it's sort of a 3rd person combo of Mordhau and KCD, and it's fun as well. You can animation cancel mid swing into blocks, parries, and dodges, so fighting three guys at once and not slowing your onslaught while parrying everything from all sides feels GREAT. The difficulty one up from normal feels good, not too spongy, not too hard. I think the prologue bear killed me once before I got him, and I lost to the MC'd dad sparring one time before getting it. Very fun. Nothing much to say on the story so far, I very much appreciate the vampires are ruthless but pragmatic and not cartoon character evil villains video games like to have. They are very much (so far) "higher beings looking after the cattle" sort of minded.

Чудова гра!!! Історія дуже сподобалась. У зв'язку з обставинами пройшов гру на Steam Deck. Обов'язково буду перепроходити, та чекати длс.

Ich finde es bisher super, paar Zicken hier und da, aber ist für mich total verkraftbar. Die Performance ist für mich auch gut, natürlich geht es besser... kenne da aber ganz andere Spiele die super Bewertet sind und die Performance verhältnismäßig wesentlich schlimmer ist und dort interessiert es so gut wie keinen. Man wird sehen was die Zeit bringt, Spiel ist trotzdem bisher sehr gelungen meiner Meinung nach,

For the Detlaff enjoyers.

I’ve been having a really good time with Blood of the Dawnwalker. The world and atmosphere are probably my favorite parts so far. It’s dark, gritty, and actually feels dangerous to explore. The vampire mechanics are a lot of fun, combat feels good once you get the hang of it, and I really like how the day/night system changes the way you approach things. It gives the game a different feel from a lot of other RPGs I’ve played. It definitely has a few rough edges, but nothing that has stopped me from wanting to keep playing. I’ll sit down planning to play for an hour and suddenly realize half my night is gone. If you like dark fantasy, vampires, RPGs, and occasionally making some questionable decisions because “♥♥♥♥ it, I’m a vampire,” I’d definitely recommend giving it a shot.

The Blood of Dawnwalker to dla mnie ogromne pozytywne zaskoczenie. Gra wygląda świetnie — oprawa wizualna naprawdę cieszy oko, a klimat jest dopracowany w każdym detalu. Gameplay jest dynamiczny, satysfakcjonujący i po prostu wciąga, a historia od pierwszych minut trzyma uwagę i chce się iść dalej. Technicznie też jest wzorowo: gra działa bardzo dobrze, stabilnie, bez zauważalnych bugów czy problemów. Widać, że twórcy włożyli w ten projekt masę serca i jakości. Jestem naprawdę bardzo zadowolony.

Pour l'instant, j'adore ce jeu, la vibe the witcher 3 est présente et pour les plus nostalgiques du jeu on retrouve vrmnt l'ambiance notamment dans les OST du jeu. J'aime beaucoup la narration que propose le jeu, hâte de voir la suite?

Great game, I have not had any performance issues personally. The story telling is fantastic and very immersive experience so far! The only issue I have had, is when running just stopping or slowing down when turning only. I just fixed it by keeping the left stick forward and making turns with the camera instead and has been a good work around. A weird issue to have sure, but I am enjoying the game so much I do not mind the simple work around. But, I do hope it does get's addressed soon. Haven't tested the issue since the patch dropped today 9/3/26 which is good turn around time for a new game drop. We'll see!

The story is dark and promising I really like it so far, and I hope it maintains this level. The combat system is fun too
