@Blastfemur I'm not sure I either specified Salem or indicated that I was assuming any sort of historical accuracy. It's just a clichéd horror connection with the region which happens to work really well in fiction.

@StylesT Lovely sounds. Chilled music and plenty of bleeps and bloops.

@Westernwolf4 1980s team in the house

@Friendly you can feel the redirections in what they were teying to make throughout it, so it ends up feeling like it needed more time even though more time is all it's had. And it still manages to show up lacking in content. Not great.

@JayJ What should it tell them? Just curious.

@dreadful Anything more constructive to add to the conversation or is that you all out of smoke?

@Bigmanfan No worries mate.

@Tasuki It can be played in full solo with AI taking the other squad roles, which all works really well, or you can team up with friends/randoms online.

@J_Mo_Money I really enjoyed Knights too. I think I'm deffo a sucker for these games.

@AlwaysPlaying My pleasure.

@Bigmanfan Hate to break it to you mate, but not only did I not get paid off for a review (plz stop it these these fantasies), I actually bought the early access edition on the NZ store, just so I could get a review out timely. Shouldnt have bothered!

@Ryu_Niiyama Yeah, it's a real odd decision given all the work that's gone in to every other aspect, to then not go that step further and give everyone a choice. Shame. There's no good reason unless it's somehow having a detrimental effect on narrative or mechanics, to not have the choice there.

@FraserG Was going to downvote but the food is quite good.

@Darude84 If you didn't like P5 I'd bin it off tbh. It's the same, but not quite as fancy.

@Kaloudz just start with Yakuza: Like A Dragon, it's on HO, and enjoy the ride!

@theduckofdeath same! You're in for a good time!

@Fiendish-Beaver Oh, that's a great shout! Yep, looks like it could be good.

@Darude84 Hmmmm. Would be good to start with the OG obviously but it's not essential. 2 and 3 are dynamite and you could just read a plot synopsis of the first game at this point as you'll be in that one more for story than gameplay given how old it's gotten.

@Darude84 I would definitely go for it, they're amazing games, but maybe check if it isn't easier/cheaper to play with the older HD Collection before splashing out on this.

@fabisputza007 it's still a fun time, just needs a patch! I'll be trying it out with update today

@CrimsonRidley hahaha. Was bound to happen.

@Kaloudz Mad Donkey? It definitely gets a harder, but I would say take your time, make sure to grind up a few levels by replaying areas you can easily blast through and just study bosses as you come to them. There's always a fairly easy way to beat them with the right tools and a little knowledge of their movesets

I gave it a 9 on the poll because I really like it. Hi Ben!

@ApostateMage hahaha, yeah some of these are good fun.

@somnambulance hahaha, I knew I was going to do that. Fixed!

@Benwah It tells you in the article.

@Cashews lol

@HarmanSmith No!

Remember folks, it gets EVEN BETTER when you hit NG+

@Halucigens the story surprised me!

@Banjo- it really, really, really isn't.

@Kaloudz you're welcome pal!

@Feffster Annnnnd, it's all sorted. Big thanks for bringing that to our attention mate!

@Feffster Hmmm. Thanks for flagging this up. It's working for me but yeah I'm seeingnow that there is defo an issue on user side. Will get it sorted out pronto!

@Nightcrawler71 Ah! My apologies, I'll add the info in a little bit.

@tallythwack you can't miss it during the mission I mentioned, it drops from an enemy, but I've updated the text to clarify further.

@8bit4Life Yep! It's even better than that one.

@Bmartin001 Yes, but in NG+ you can skip doing the main story missions and just do side stuff and explore, hence why I think folk have been recommending just blazing through the campaign critical stuff.

@Kaloudz there are new aspects to the game, such as the new powers, but we don't want to spoil anything else, it's genuinely worth just getting there for yourself if you can.

@Kaloudz that's correct

@PsBoxSwitchOwner I'll be providing my thoughts on it as soon as I can.

@GunValkyria Not like Souls at all tbh, beyond the big boss scraps that take some time to get around. AC is all about building and kitting out your mech to suit different scenarios then taking part in linear missions with straightforward objectives that are usually topped off by a tough battle. There's little to no exploration or anything else to do beyond mech combat. Hope this helps a bit.

@CallMeDuraSouka Well, we'll have our review as soon as we can, and we'll be digging into guides and other features. Luckily the game is on GP so easy enough to try without getting too badly burned if it's not great! (I'm sure it's gonna be great)

Just don't expect a review from us anytime soon as we haven't received review code, along with a bunch of other sites. 😕

@Leuke unfortunately I didn't get a chance to do any co-op.

@Fenbops I think you'll enjoy it if you like The Surge series. I knew I'd be slightly high in my scoring compared to some outlets, but I just really love what Deck13 do, even though there's always a bit of clunkiness involved. Really nice to play an action adventure like this that you can blast through in a week these days too.

@Microbius Enjoy!

@TJ81 You can turn the speech volume down or off which is a fair enough workaround if you've got subs turned on.

@Fiendish-Beaver Hey, yes, you can both seal and unseal doors! Sound-wise the gun effects and atmospheric stuff is excellent!

@awp69 well, cassette beasts did make it into the honourable mentions, so not all bad.
