PlayStation 5 User Reviews

The game tries to be innovative in the souls like but: - Have very few customizable options; - Bosses feel like are reused every time; - A bunch of bugs including ones that makes harder to get trophies; - FPS drops; - Reused mobs; - Balance is awful for the fights and for the weapons (two handed weapons lose a lot of mobility and light weapons lose too much on block) they thought it would be fun but the enemies weren't balanced around that.

The relic: first guardian has a lot of potential to be a great game. The combat is extremely satisfying and rewarding, as expected. The bosses are where this game shines however. Could some of them be a little janky? Yes. Could some have what looks to be unpredictable attacks? Yes. But other than that, the bosses that don’t have these set backs are some of the funnest times I’ve had fighting bosses. The exploration is truly rewarding, but critics complain about anything these days. You can find skill points, upgrade materials and other things such as upgrades for your flasks, relics, and even sometimes new armor and weapons. The game doesn’t even have really bad camera movement especially since it seemed to be a big complaint from early reviewers. Now, the drawbacks. The game (as of right now on PS5) has really bad performance. The FPS seems to drop the longer you play, forcing you to restart the game and sit through another loading screen. But when you load up the game after restarting it the combat is chefs kiss. The enemy variety is down the pooper, you fight the same bandits, zombie grotesque things, fat poison man, Or tiny little goblins that are annoying and jump at you everywhere. These are minor set backs however and I didn’t find myself having a frustrating experience with them. Overall, I just feel like this game had way too much high expectations and gets way to much discredit. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. Is it a 4/10? Also, absolutely not. If you wanna pick up this game, please walk into it knowing that this is just an indie soulslike made by a handful of people. If you have that mindset, I promise you, you will have a good experience. Don’t expect top tier voice acting, don’t expect top tier story, although the stories behind brutals (bosses) are actually quite enjoyable. Dont expect this to be THE game. It has a fun gameplay loop with fun bosses and customization. Enjoy it!

Give them a chance the updates so far have proved the game is moving in the right direction. It’s not all bad hopefully they get it right sooner rather than later. Look at mortal shell another ok game and look now with MS2 coming wow totally different with a budget imagine what these guys can do with continued updates and support moving to their next game with a bigger budget. All roads lead to a better quality product I put it down for now to give the devs a chance to fix their mistakes but I do support their team and game.

This is the first game I ever refund on PS5. It has so many issues, performance issues are the least of your problems. - Exploring is mainly looting tiny amounts of gold scattered everywhere. - Combat is clunky and the character feels like its skating everytime you run or parry. - Whatever you see in the trailer is NOT what the game actually looks like on PS5. It is painful to look at. You can't release a game like that, guys, let alone at that price

Habe zum Glück noch vor Release meine Vorbestellung storniert — das war die beste Entscheidung, die ich in diesem Fall treffen konnte. Mich hat vieles stutzig gemacht und bereits in den ersten Videos und Reviews hat man deutlich gesehen, dass das Spiel mehrere Schwächen hat. Was hier aber am Ende wirklich herausgebracht wurde ist eine absolute Schande. Ich würde es demnach also auch als absoluten Scam bezeichnen. Das Spiel ist überhaupt nicht fertig, es fehlen an einfachsten Dingen (zum Beispiel Markierungen auf der Karte, Beschreibungen von Orten etc.) sowas sollte heute absolut selbstverständlich sein. Viel schlimmer ist aber die sich immer wiederholende Welt. Alles ist immer wieder das gleiche, es sind immer wieder die selben Gegner, immer wieder dieselbe Sounds und Geräusche, absolute Katastrophe. VoiceOver von Bossen und NPC würde ChatGPT besser hinbekommen. Atmosphäre ist komplett für die Katze, ich hab selten sowas schlechtes erlebt. Und ehrlich gesagt bin ich froh, dass ich es nur stundenlang in einem Livestream erlebe (Jack Fromsoft), statt es auch noch selbst spielen zu müssen. Ich hätte mich über jeden Euro geärgert, den das Spiel gekostet hätte. Das Spiel ist absolut nicht fertig und dafür 50 € zu verlangen gehört rechtlich bestraft. Das Spiel könnte so gut sein, weil es auch gute Ansatzpunkte liefert — aber in dem Zustand einfach nur Katastrophe. Von den ganzen Performance-Problemen fange ich jetzt gar nicht erst an (Memory Leak) das ist einfach nur ein totaler Witz, zumal die Grafik nach PS3 aussieht. Nicht mal die "Story" zieht einen in seinen Bann, denn sie existiert einfach nicht. Man ist nur wild am suchen, weiß nicht wo man schon war und wo nicht, hat einfach keinerlei Durchblick. Das wirkt alles total billig zusammengewürfelt ohne jegliches Konzept. Da können die nun patchen, was sie wollen. Das Spiel hätte direkt fertig auf den Markt kommen müssen und nicht in einem solchen desaströsen Zustand. Ein Armutszeugnis und eine Frechheit für jeden Gamer, vor allem in diesem Genre. Amen.

Giving it a 10 because of the BS reviews from those who haven't even played it and from those who watch sloptent creators and were told how to feel. The game is not perfect, but it's far from the worst (6.5/10). For a team of 12 devs making their first game, it has promise, and they have been very open on social media and the PSN store about what they are doing & when a patch will drop. Reminds me of King's Field, the godfather of soul games.

Das ganze Spiel ist ein kompletter scam. Absolute Frechheit. Ich Frage mich ernsthaft, wie das Spiel überhaupt erscheinen durfte.

why???? Why are you making a game in a genre you know nothing about? Why???? Why is the combat so poorly done in a game focused on combat?

It's a shame to release the game in this condition. I'll give you a chance to fix it!
