Every other game in this similar genre has an auto-aim function.

This does not and yet I have issues with my hand, kinda why I enjoy these types of games... when they have auto-aim.

If you play Vampire Survivor like games because of you not being able to use your hand to aim like a COD 360 no scope god like me... then don't bother with this game, they expect you to aim at everything.

Yes, I do understand that after a while, aiming isn't necessary, but I have been trying my best to relax to this game and I cannot.

Also, auto-aim was asked for a while ago, they said they'd put it in their things-to-do, hasn't been done yet, so they must just be lazy about it.

I really enjoy the game, but there are some incredibly easy to fix issues here. I obtained a key to a house, but I reloaded and now I don't have the key....

It seems that whenever I reload, it takes things away from me, please fix this... after the first game, this should've been easily fixed, everything is cool, except this and how tenants just hear you throwing something out a window but somehow know exactly where you are, which is awful when you sneak through for ages just for them to hear you because of a game issue.

I understand there is only one developer, but if you were able to put the game together, you should be able to find these issues.

Now I do not want to play because although I am good at stealth, they keep finding me due to the games issues, I seriously hope you release a patch tending to this.

Edit: Of course this review will change if these issues are seen to.

Edit2: Honestly really upset, put time into getting as far as the museum heist only to have 3 statues vanish because of this save bug. I don't want to restart from the beginning just to see some statues, but I also cannot refund.

This needs to be marked 'Early Access'

I purchased because I thought it looked cool, but I only got just under 4 hours out of this, which is not worth the current asking price to me.

Wish I could review right in the middle, The mechanics are great, gameplay is great and yet I am having an issue with cosmetics.

I can change Hinterclaws banner cosmetic but no one elses, everyone elses only shows the 2 cosmetics you get at the start of the game, no locked ones...

Edit: I enjoyed the game until all the banner cosmetics got hidden from me, this just put me off tbh, less things to work towards... feel like such a simple thing they could've avoided too.

Lots of fun until the game forces you back to the main menu while in round 3!?
I cannot continue playing a game, that has forcefully kicked me to main menu in the middle of me playing the game.
On top of that, the selection of mini games is so slim.

Also, lobbies being half full is the best outcome, had a game with 4 people and 26 bots, which is just disappointing.

My last review was harsh admittedly, I have played more and got a bit further, but I really wish there was a 50/50 option for reviews.

I have some comments on the game:
- The parries are decent once you get used to them.
- The mechanic that annoyed me originally was less annoying once I noticed the sign of where to look. (lantern)
- The game will let you attack yourself off of edges, which is a big deal breaker for me, especially when you involve small platforms + knockback.
- The fact that making a hybrid build is SO weak really annoys me, would've loved to build without becoming super weak.
- The window for dodging and perfect block is too small honestly, especially for someone who has slower reactions to most.
- I understand including a super tough to beat enemy at the beginning of the game, but throwing it at you a second time?! That is just cruel.

Overall I think this game was developed with difficulty in mind and there has definitely not been enough attention to detail with the combat mechanics.

Many times I have been doing really well and suddenly my attacks throw me off the edge. I completed Demon Souls, Dark Souls 1,2 and 3 as well as Elden Ring, but I cannot see the entertainment in this; there are too many mistakes for me to love this the same way I did all of the other souls games.

Edit:

- You cannot charge spells which just feels like a lose.
- Enemies seems to have autoaim, which is the worst thing to have in a soulslike.

I loved Payday 2, so I have played for a while and played early access for all 3 days.

The game worked throughout early access, but as of release, the servers have been flooded (due to it being so hyped and yet the developers insisted on making the game server-bound). This has caused them colossal issues, that they had "resolved" only for the issue to reappear the next day!

This game may be top of the sales and the developers/publishers are happy, but us fans are INCREDIBLY upset with this.

Edit:
Even when servers do work, the missions don't... who wants to play a whole stealth mission with a friend, only to throw a timed bag that vanishes?!
Times when you pick up a VIP pass and it acts as if you never got it!?
Missions are glitched, the paths of guards is actually ridiculous, especially when they start searching.
And even once you get all of your bags to your van, you MIGHT have a matchmaking error, wasting all of your time.
These are simple bugs that should've been detected before release, the fact that they exist only shows that there has been no work put into cleaning the code. No cleaning of AI, menus and honestly, I am extremely surprised that they did not extend the development period.

Edit: Pretty sure the development team just created this for the money.... I mean it was released in such an unfinished state, with hardly any dedication to improving anything.
