Well both Immortals and Minecraft legends were both on my list of "want to play, don't want to buy", and Skul is awesome, so it's one of the best months I've seen in a long while.
@aaronlav: I mean, I think it's a really good entry-game for this kind of "hunting" genre and I think 'Proud' is a very decent final difiiculty.
I still died quite a few times during some story fights on hard difficulty, and in some of them more than 3 times, that would've been a fail in MH, but it was kind of refreshing not being punished so hard in this game, like I was still frustrated when I died but I was learning on the spot instead of having to redo everything, some of those fights can be very long after all.
It also depends on how you approach it, I started on hard right away and didn't do any grind until I hit a wall on Maniac, that's when I started building my characters seriously and some fights were still challenging enough, of course if you have your characters maxed out most fights end up being a joke but that is also true for 95% of monsters in MH.
My biggest issue is this review doesn't touch on any of that, like 70% of the mastery tree is locked until after story ends, not to mention ascencion and final weapons, over masteries, imbuements, transmutation, sigil tiers/level and dealing with dmg cap, mirage munitions, vouchers, etc.
@Tiwill44: Well tbh this is more like Monster Hunter than Diablo, and in MH the story always sucks, it always feels like an after thought, but MH World is still a masterpiece and Capcom's most sold game ever, so yeah, I didn't see Gamespot or anyone complaining about the short/bad story there.
@laurenriley3332: That's just the story not the "main game", there are a lot of games that do this, have you ever heard of Diablo or Monster Hunter? The "main game" is the end game. The fact that there's a story is a plus and just serves as an introduction to the main systems, but the most complex and harder stuff comes after, as I said just like in a Monster Hunter game which is the target audience of this game but reviewer is treating this as a JRPG which is ridiculous.
Can you at least do some research before posting dumb reviews? This game just starts after beating the story, the main thing of this game is the end game content, like in a Monster Hunter game, it can take hundreds of hours. After beating the story you open up more difficulties, battles, enemies, bosses and even new systems get added. Reviewing it just by playing the story just tells me someone didn't do his homework correctly.
