Game literally does not launch. it shows up in task manager but does not launch the physical window. all my playtime is time spent trying to play the damn game when I have not even seen the main menu! Before anyone says anything. Yes ive reinstalled, verified, updated ALL drivers, checked firewall, disabled antivirus during download and launch, etc. Nothing has gotten it to launch at all.


Edit: Caved and decided to attempt to roll back to windows 10 thinking 11 was the issue. couldnt roll back so it just did a clean install which fixed the issue which is kind of odd.

Now after playing it for about 30 mins, combat is wicked smooth. abilities are nice. so far i really enjoy it. Why this game has mixed reviews I have no idea, maybe because of high expectations instead of playing it for what it is which is a hack and slash style game with some sekiro PLAYSTYLE (parrying, dodge, "weapon arts" as I forgot the actual name of this games take on them, etc) the game is fun and can be challenging which is nice. so far I recommend it if it is ever on sale. I never recommend buying a game at full price since 10 years ago games were like 20$ and now they are 40 - 80.

If you are a fan of fast combat give it a shot. Do not set high expectations for a story as I don't really pay attention to it since most stories are the same. Antagonist wants more power for evil doing, protagonist wants to stop it.
