i was trailled when I found out the story and cast are base on the exact book I am reading, the crystal Shard.

Played a mission, actually not half bad, combats a little janky on the hit detection but is pretty serviceable, easy to get in games and runs pretty smooth, heaps of loot. Cool scenery.
Yeah, it isn't great. Played like 2 hours. Got 1 hit killed at a level the game said i was equipped for. Got stun locked a few times. Get locked in attack animations that make it difficult to evade.
Visually is pretty garbage. Doesn't seem like you can equip new gear until you finish a mission. Drops gear your character can't use. Target lock does what it wants.

Thankfully I never had high hope for the game. Good Coop games are few & far between, What a shame.
just played Act 1 and I found it to be a good bit of fun. Didn’t have any issues with 1 hit kills or stun locks. The Warm versus Ice mechanic killed very fast a couple of times and because it doesn’t explain it I I was trying to figure how what was killing me for about 10 minutes.
I’m using the assassin and the party, dodge and block are all very tight.
agree with the visuals and the target locking.
If you have GP you should try it. No reason to rest on the opinions of others when you have access to it.
Ahhhh man, reviews are not sounding good for this. I'm still looking forward to trying it out and I'm glad that we are getting more co-op focused titles. I just hope being able to play with others is easier than it was with Outriders.
I'm grateful Gamepass is letting us play this on Day 1 of release and how its been saving me some money on games I might have purchased.

Played 2 sessions with a friend. Playing a coop game with a friend is PITA. Tried many times before able to be in the same game. But game is pretty fun as coop experience.
I do not think the game has long legs, but 1-2 weeks or so worth of fun gameplay (before getting bored) should be possible. we shall see.

Plays better on PC. Wider FOV, can turn motion blur off and runs close to 100fps at max settings. Controls thus feel tighter.
The biggest complaint is the control input is laggy. You hit dodge but you don't dodge for a good half a second, thus throwing everything else off.
Played another 4 hours or so on the PC version tonight, obviously I'm liking it more than I thought. I upped the camera speed to 90 on both horizontal and vertical which helped out a ton. Playing solo on the easiest setting. What's cool is when you're presented with those checkpoints where you can save and heal you can also choose to up the loot level instead. Since I'm on easy I just do that. Multiple legendaries already.
