Stop with the "From S***ware" name dropping. Let it be its own game and dlc.

@Steel76 Indeed, the game is a couple of patches away from buying it 😞

Never played the first game or any other Warhammer game. But this looks like a nice starting point for me.

Edit: after a couple of framerate fixing updates. Framerate tests show that it goes as low as 45fps in Performance mode 😐, not acceptable.

@ShogunRok You mention frame rate dips in your review. Did you play the game on Quality or Performance mode?

Other sites write thats performance mode is almost a locked 60.

The question of a stable 60fps on PS5 is the difference for me between buying on launch or waiting a couple of weeks with this one.

@LiamCroft Why did the score change from a 8 to a 7? (Couple of hours ago it said 8/10)

They deserve a GOTY nomination.
Stellar Blade shall not win it but the nominee itself is a huge honor.

Hope they stay true to themself after going public.

@Mustoe I love Souls-likes games. I have played them all. But i indeed hate From Software games and their (missing) design/no guidance. FS even said on Twitter that only 35% of the Elden Ring players have reached the point needed to start the coming dlc. The missing guidance plays a big part in that.

I (we, the 65%) don't need a exact marker where to go but at least give the game meaning and minimal guidance, like Lords of The Fallen or Lies of P.

The FS games just feel lazy and not done in my opinion.

@Mustoe The difference is in the word "needs"

Of course there are guides for other games, but they are not needed to complete these games. Those are extra. For example you can complete GoW Ragnarok without a guide where to go, the guides for GoW are where to find all collectibles. That's for a different goal.

Most people playing From Software games can't get to the ending without a guide, that's the difference. It's the lack of direction in those games why a guide is needed.

If your game needs a guide to play.....it's a badly designed game.

@UltimateOtaku91 My understanding is that you can only lower the difficulty but can't change it back up after.

I've never played the original but most reviews write that the ''Canon of Vengeance'' Story is better than the orginal.
Can i start with that (better) Story?

Never played a Trails game before. The gameplay, old blurry (ugly) art style and descriptions in the reviews told me enough.

But! I downloaded this demo yesterday and i must say i like the demo so far (1 hour in).
Especially the 2-way combat system took me by surprise. You can fight normally and Turn Based. Alas on the other hand the game still is blurry/ugly and the opening town looks empty.

Awaiting the reviews on 5th of July..

No 60fps = still no buy

Hoping it has PS5 enhancements (better graphics, faster loading times and 60FPS)

@get2sammyb A couple of people already asked but how is the Performance (locked 60fps?)

@ExReey Multiple previews said it fluctuates
between 50 and 60fps in Performance mode. I'm hoping a day one patch will fix this.

A inconsistent framerate is the only thing that can hold me off buying this day one.

No 60fps = No buy

The game looks like a Ps4 game at best, so it isn't pushing the console. I see absolutely no reason this can't be a stable 60fps game.

@ShogunRok Remake was pretty easy, is it the same with Rebirth?

They should have the option to choose "Hard" from the start

@ShogunRok Unstable 60 = No Buy

Uncapped meaning unstable in this case. A unstable framerate is the worst thing for a game to have.

I rather have 3 in-game bugs than an unstable framerate. Right now postponing Banishers for the same reason.

Just give a stable 60fps.
No more, no less.

I'm glad this has scored well.
Hoping to find the patience to wait for a couple of patches, probably not 🥴

@VidaJ I'm all for multiple difficulties because of your reason, everybody wants something different from a game. I personally was bummed out that Hard isn't Hard enough, but i accepted it and are enjoying the game nevertheless!

Game is far too easy on the Hard difficulty. Teammates never get attacked and can always revive you, so because of the infinite revive it has 0 challenge. That also makes upgrading your characters and weapons useless (OP) in Story Mode.

I'm at chapter 9 and never needed a 4 man squad, usually play solo with Gran or with 1 other character. For me that is a big bummer. I would give the game a 7 for now. I really like the art style, combat, story, audio/music and Primal Beast fights.

I'm reading a lot of good thinks about the Endgame content. Hopefully that is going to bring this game to a solid 8.

It's like a lesser Tales of Arise.

It's going to be the biggest flop of 2024.

No 60fps = No buy

PushSquare is losing their reliability/expertise with each new list.
