Wayfinder

great game alot of content to it

Wayfinder Review What a surprising gem! I’ve only put a few hours into Wayfinder, but I’m already hooked. I bought it specifically because it’s from Airship Syndicate, and the game is an amazing experience overall so far. Performance & The Freezing Issue I’m playing on a Steam Deck via NVIDIA GeForce Now with an extremely stable connection. While the game runs at a smooth 120+ FPS on max settings, it suffers from infrequent but jarring freezes—happening about once or twice an hour. These aren’t just stutters; the entire game locks up for a few seconds before resuming. It’s not necessarily "game-breaking," but it’s troublesome enough that I understand why others have left negative reviews. I’ve tested other heavy games like Tainted Grail on this same setup without issues, so I know it’s not my connection. I am surprised the developers haven’t addressed this yet, especially since it makes playing the game's "Hardcore" mode a recipe for disaster. Gameplay & Mechanics I’ve cleared three dungeons so far on "Nightmare" difficulty. Interestingly, it doesn't feel overly difficult because of the death mechanic: instead of a traditional "Game Over," you simply respawn with reduced loot at the end of the dungeon. I love that this system respects your time rather than forcing you to repeat an hour-long boss fight. It allows you to keep pushing forward, even if you’re dying a lot. Verdict If not for the freezing, I’d easily give this an 8/10. At least so far based on my early gameplay. I can’t fully recommend it at full price until the devs patch that freezing issue, but if you can grab it on sale for $5–$10, it is absolutely worth playing. It’s a fantastic game—it just needs that one major fix to be truly great. Now I always give games a thumbs up if I know it often goes on sale and its worth it on sale. So that's why I am giving this game a thumbs up. It is absolutely fun and you should definitely try it when its on sale! PS: Devs if you read this, please fix the stability issues. It seems to be widespread and if not for these issues you'd have definitely sold multiplicative more copies than you have done now. Your games amazing, just make sure it runs as well as it plays is all!

It's awesome. Reminds me of destiny, warframe, and maybe a teeny bit of OW and dark souls. Fun parts from some and can be played casually atleast

Phantasy star 1 and 2 Sega dreamcast. Better graphics and soundtrack. 10/10 EPIC game. It has all the fun things without the paywall.

マルチプレイで遊ぶとかなり楽しいです。アクション面はパターンは少ないのかもしれないけど、かなりコアな方でない限り、キャラはサクサク動くし楽しめるだと思います。8人いるし、武器も好きなモノを使えます。得意武器のようなモノはあるかもしれませんが…。 過去にMMOとして発売しようとし、失敗してしまったようなので全体の評価は低めですが私はセールで800円くらいで買いました、内容はたっぷりです。

I was eyeing this game for a while and bought it when it was on sale for under $4. I was a little wary because of the mixed reviews but encouraged by many of the recent ones being positive. It turns out that I really enjoy this game, so I wanted to help outweigh the earlier mixed reviews when apparently the format of the game was different. What I like: 1. The art style—doesn't take itself too seriously and is part of what makes the game enjoyable. 2. Having multiple characters to choose from that can use any weapon and that you can swap among at any point. 3. Being able to use any weapon of the same style that you have owned as a skin so you can keep that look you want while equipping stronger weapons that you may find ugly—such a simple concept that I've never seen before that I love. 4. Leveling up and enhancing stats through echoes and artifacts keeps heroes progressing at a decent rate. 5. Co-op where another player can drop in and out anytime. You can choose to run a dungeon, take on an event boss (see #7) or further a quest together. 6. Plenty of quests with following the main quest line but doing other things for various other characters. 7. Usually it's not overly challenging while occasionally I do get defeated by a boss and need to change up my echoes and artifacts or switch to another character next time. I was shocked when one event boss appeared with 170,000 HP, but it's nice to encounter a challenge. 8. The break mechanic is a good aspect where once you wear down an enemy's break bar, it gets staggered by attacks and struggles to attack for a few seconds. 9. The game involves a mechanic that quests require you to exercise, which is going back into dungeons, but part of the lore is that they are remnants of a place, so they're not the same each run. 10. Overworld enemies respawn fairly regularly, so if you need to grind a bit, you easily can. There are also items you can get that give you experience when consumed if occasionally you want to boost your character the rest of the way to the next level without grinding. 11. Good quality voice acting when it's there. Limitations but not dealbreakers by any means: 1. I don't follow all the lore about how crafting Gloom-manipulating stuff works. It mostly makes sense, but mainly I just do what the quest says. I'll probably understand it better on a second playthrough. 2. The soundtrack could use more variety, especially of the epic-sounding stuff, which I like. 3. Progression through equipment seems a bit slow. 4. I created a relic but I'm not sure why because I don't see a way to equip it. I guess I'll figure it out or consult the Internet at some point. So this mechanic isn't very clear. Neutral: 1. The way the map is constructed, you're basically directed in one general direction as the story progresses, at least as far as I've gotten. The map can be a little hard to navigate with all the rocky cliffs, so I find myself making more use of the quick travel option than running around enjoying an open world style. I may update this with more things I like as I go. I definitely recommend this game as an ARPG.

having a blast so far, really like the characters. got it on sale, def worth it tho
