SONY forcing people to make a psn account is completely ridiculous and absolutely unnecessary.

I'm not attaching my steam account to a corporation well known for its security breaches.

First proper entry into any soulsborne games, so it took a while to get into the swing of things. I can say with certainty that this is a fantastic game. Engaging the whole-way through.

(does have some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ design, both enemy and level-wise. So be warned.)

A time where I wish there was something between "Would Recommend" and "Would Not Recommend."

Still has performance issues, including CTD's
Still some balance issues
Still some absolutely bizarre design choices, (Zealot Martyrdom is STILL bad)

but can be a fun game for the avg. consumer.

THIS REVIEW IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE IF THE ITEMIZATION UPDATE IS BAD (which i expect, sorry fatshark)

I do recommend this game, but not to people experienced to rogue-likes or people who don't enjoy colony-sims

This review might be way too long as well, but i have a lot to say and lack the ability of brevity for it.

TL;DR: Colony-Sim gets extremely in the way of the sparce Rogue-lite elements, making them not nearly as fun.

-------------------------------------
The game-play leaves me perplexed. I'm impressed with MM's ability to weave the combat to the downtime, but I wished they did the same way vice-versa. The village-sim does not compliment the combat much at all. (Aside from upgrades obviously)

Once you beat a bishop of a dungeon, you gain the ability to loop in that dungeon, enabling you to reap greater-rewards and making the game harder. This is good, the game has a severe case of being FAR too easy, so I would like to do a lot of loops, but...

You have to take care of your villagers. On harder difficulties, your cult becomes less independent and requires your intervention quite a lot. On the hardest difficulty, this is at its WORST. Cult members gets hungry, lose faith, get sick very quickly. (Two of those issues will kill cult members if they aren't addressed.) If a cultist becomes a dissenter, my other cultists will lose faith quicker AND I have to worry about losing a massive chunk of a resource.

I essentially get to the point where if I want the game to be significantly harder, I have to play on the hardest difficulty, loop many times, and ignore my cultists for (in game) weeks before I start to be challenged.

If you want me to treat my cult like ♥♥♥♥ for my own benefit, why does treating my cult like ♥♥♥♥ PUNISH me in the short and long run?

---------------------

The combat feels very good, but...
Weapon selection is very bland and kind of uninspired, and the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of tarot cards are ineffectual.

Certain types of the 5 weapons are significantly more powerful than other types *CoughZealousWeaponsCough*
----------------------
Overall I would rate Cult of the Lamb 6/10 - Game is a quality and it has a lot of good elements, but some elements clash strong enough to not enjoy the game.

I don't know what the ♥♥♥♥ this SlayerWasHere dude is talking about, Beelzebub is best girl.

anyways, game sux 10/10

Yes.


My emotions towards this game are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ vivid. I had high hopes when playing this game, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ were those hopes fulfilled when I started. Now let me begin this review.

Gameplay

Starting out, this game was slow as hell. I wasted hours before figuring out that the cave system was vast as ♥♥♥♥, and I had no idea where to start. It was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ exhilarating knowing that the map was huge, even when you chose a small map layout.

So there I was, digging out iron and feeling like I struck gold. Enjoying every minute. Then a zombie. Out of NOWHERE, my first instinct was to attack it with my copper short sword. I dealt ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to zero damage, and the zombie was tanking through the attacks. I made a wise decision and ran away. Only to see MORE zombitches. I hopped over what I could and !Ade it into my shrab shack that my guide actually called a house. I was safe. Next day. Went out again. I found an Ice Boomerang. It turned night and I threw that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and I knocked that dickstain a ways back. I now had a proper defense maneuver. I then on the way back, found a bow. ♥♥♥♥ just got easier from then on.

What I am getting at is. The start is slow, but when it builds up. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Just you wait for hard mode!

Visuals. Pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beautiful for pixels, all I have to say.

Music

Every. Single. Song. Fits. Every. Single. Moment. That. You. Are. In
The Forest. Being the easiest part of all. Has this peaceful yet upbeat sound to it.
Tundra area music sounds all..."Wintery" (Trust me, when you hear it. You'll understand)
Even the HELL area sounds ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lit.



Now for the negatives.

I REALLY dislike the fact that the blood moon can happen on the first night. That had me scared shirtless
"The Blood Moon rises.
Enemies are tough as ♥♥♥♥ when you have soft ♥♥♥♥♥ for weapons.

If you don't defeat all four celestials pillars. The Moon Lord shouldn't appear...right? Wrong. Even if you didn't defeat them all. You will still get pre-boss texts and then the boss himself...

Anyways. That's really all I have to say. It is a good game. TRY IT!

>>WARNING:LANGUAGE,(spoilers?),And Straight Opinion (So you cannot rage against meh)<<



Honestly This game... Is more unique than you could ever imagine... I may be dumb or I may not. But never have I seen leveling weapons... (Oh ♥♥♥♥ Destiny) But this way is different. The way you can upgrade weapons when you want to, Not when the game goes like "o ♥♥♥♥ et ima upgwade it" That may just be me but I dont like it. I want to do something for myself. Well If that is you. This is the game for you. Everything is done By you. Not by some dumb game mechanic.

Alright got that off the list. Now lets talk about the warfare. Im not gonna sugar coat it... But when enemies are not around. It gets kinda boring.. I know we are suppose to finish it really fast. But we have those 1-2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that waste all our ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time, trying to ♥♥♥♥♥♥- collect everying. Then it gets us adventuring around trying to get what we can get while those dumbasses are taking there sweet ♥♥♥♥♥♥ time. It would be nice to see some back ground action going on. Like on those levels below you it would be nice to show little people fighting. Or like the occasional your on a straight battle field ♥♥♥♥ were there is like 8 NPC's that follow you. But other than that The combat is delicious. It works well... Especially those slimes that combine... It is really worth it fighting them when they are enormous.


Alright Let me not get my emotions in the way.

The art style is very different from the casual sculpted to hell theme. Like Hat Sim- Team fortress 2. No they arent like *cough*certain*cough* zelda games no they mostly add just simple colors. No real (big) out lines or eye raping texture.

Alright Now that I got these three out of the way in my (not my best) review Here are my ratings


Combat (sections): Solo 9/10 Multiplayer:7/10
Graphics: 9.5/10
Leveling:10/10


This is Final I wont be replying to this unless it is Formal Kind Or Assertive NOT Agressive.

I deleted my old review as it was a long ass time ago and my feelings have changed Quite a lot

You and I both know that, this game is effectively abandoned. Not through players fault, not through Valve's fault, but of Valve's policies. Letting employees switch to whatever project they want is good for worker morale, and making more quality projects. I'm not against this. The main issue is that it's very clear no dev wants to work on TF2 anymore, the codes messy, it's old, i's inefficient. It's lack of developers is hurting this game and it's a shame.

There is only two ways to resolve this issue, restrict where workers go and force certain devs into TF2 department or whatever the ♥♥♥♥ its called. Or...Release it to the community Let the community have full control over the coding and design of the game. It's time, this game is old, it's decrepit, it needs new parts. Those new parts could be a dedicated, loyal fan-base and player-base.

As it stands now, bots litter servers more than players do, sniper bots, spycrab bots, general aimbot...bots. There is simply too little mannpower for the 1/2 dev to work on this game. The only net-positive way of ensuring that this game lives even longer is to allow fresh faces into TF2 Dev team.

>>CAUTION SPOILERS<<

Yes. Just yes. Half life 2, Has exceeded everones expectations and has also exceeded the expectations of physics,graphics,and gameplay <--- Important if you couldnt guess. This game when it popped up. Everyones mind was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BLOWN. People were just amazed about how far ahead valve went in time to make this game, and ♥♥♥♥, the only cutscene they had at the beginning ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ filled every bit of missing info the player (that they needed at the time) had just STARTING the game. Honestly, You could not have done a better job showing the sexual tension between Alyx and Gordan grow, that simple brush hair back in the elevator just showed... ALL of it. On how they managed to make this entire game in body (should have) made the player feel like he was actually there. Not a dude hes controlling. Not once have I seen/heard anyone say. "Yah the game is about this smart dude you control and help him and co. pass the trial and error," no. Never seen that. The WHOLE entire game is about YOU not Gordan freeman. YOU the player. Are the Person of Interest. You are the guy with the M.I.T. education. You ARE, The one Free Man.
