Expeditions: Samurai

自分が３０分プレーしたところ、このゲームは良く作られた一作だと思いました。前作にも遜色しないところ、秘められたポテンシャルは前作を超えていると自分は感じました。ただ私は英語がそれほど得意じゃありませんので、出来れば早くローカライズして欲しいです。この値段でこの品質のゲーム遊べる自体開発者に感謝しなければならない！あとシリーズは前作から楽しんでいますけれども、この作品のシリーズが続く限り私も生きていれば応援していきたいと思ってます。

Unhappy because I've completed the early access. Happy because I've really been enjoying it so far. This is my first time playing an of the expedition series. I'm enjoy the story, enjoying the fights, enjoying all of it. The only bug I encountered was a companion falling through to under a building during a fight and having to reload afterwards as they were trapped when the battle happened. This only occured once. I'm looking forward to the full release and have bought the other expedition games to try.

My honest opinion 7.8/10 (great so far!) Story, combat, and movement Story: Great story telling especially “choice matters” dialogue to improve relationships plus knowing point you add in your skill matter! The only thing I found interesting and confusing was side characters have those options also. Not sure why when for me they can’t be use to chat with NPC vendor for better price or service.7/10 Combat: good especially knowing there is permanent death option making combat and strategy important. I haven’t made it far into the game but looking forward to more combat.9/10 Movement- Movement in the game is great aside from jumping aspect I found myself in combat knowing I could jump/climb over a wall but did not found any button or feature that allow me to do so (I could be not looking more closely) but overall great! 10/10 Great game looking forward to playing more!!

Vikings et Rome semblent clairement bien meilleur que celui-ci à l'état actuelle! L'histoire est bien mais ce n'est que le début. Le look des personnages est juste horrible!!! Quelques problèmes à modifier comme le pistolet qui part vers la droite quand tu veut tirer où les lames des épées qui partent vers le haut quand tu achèves un ennemi au sol! Certaine quête te propose de livrer l'ennemi en vie mais je n'ai pas encore trouvé comment assommer un ennemi car à main nue je le tue aussi ^^. Donc bon c'est l'accès anticipé, j'espère qu'ils vont revoir beaucoup de point. Bon courage!

Disregard the "Girlboss" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ everyone is spamming about, the following are what needs to be fixed while on EA: * Racial Diversity: from the Character Creation's available skin color schemes, it seems the following races are Northern/European, Southern/African and Middle/Spanish. Yet in one of the early dialouges in the Kurokawa village, it seems you're default an Englishman, at least if the "Flynn" character is default in Netherlands, have some kind of half - ancestry something in the dialouge so it made-sense. * Remove the weird Modern humour, the "Dad" joke doesn't quite fit that one scene, but it might just be my personal preference, humour is great in Rome, here at Samurai, it was a bit weird-ish. * I don't know if it just me but there's some kind of weird film-grain, that it sometimes appear to blurry visually, I had my settings on Ultra/High mix and have a consistent 60 FPS but there's like a grainy filter. All in all, it was a great experience. Oh balance the combat too, Skill Efficiency to damage is OP.

I really loved the game until now. This being Early Access there were a bunch of small things that I would love to see improve though. But nothing major. I also played solo, might check out the co-op mode when the game comes out in 1.0. I also expected a more combat heavy game but it seems like their is quite a lot of exploring and dialogue as well. Not that I’m complaining, the story seems good for now. The game already looks and sounds good. I was surprised to see all the dialogue already voice acted. [h1]What I liked[/h1] - [b]Combat:[/b] For now the combat has been simple enough. But it looks like it can get quite deep. I like that the different classes have vastly different systems for their special abilities. - [b]Story:[/b] I like the story so far. It has some real tough choices with some actual consequences. It will be fun to run through it a second time and see what is different. - [b]Voice Acting:[/b] Thank god. Finally a game I play that takes voice acting seriously in making at least an effort in making the voices sound local. I have been playing too many games recently that don’t care about this at all. It’s refreshing to play a game where not everyone has a british/american accent. The Dutch accents/names in this game are on point. That’s more than what Amsterdam 1666 can say. [b]Traditional Japanise Art:[/b] I love the traditional japanese art pieces for the main menu and some other part of the game. Reality sets the time period and setting. - [b]Doesn’t take itself too seriously:[/b] The first thing I noticed when playing the game is that most of the tooltips in the options menu have little jokes. I love it when a game doesn’t take itself too serious and just has fun with things. [h1]What I didn’t like[/h1] - [b]Froze after game over:[/b] I wanted to see what would happen if I came out in the hostage situation on the deck during the start of the game. It resulted in a game over. But when I wanted to load the last save the game froze. It worked again after I closed the game.This was the only time the game froze though, have not had any issues with that again. The game seems pretty stable. - [b]Stealth area unclear:[/b] I accidently walked into a protected area in the game. I was expecting to get stopped by the guards but it just immediately went to combat. It would be nice to clarify this. - [b]No Settings during Dialogue:[/b] I wanted to close the game or at least lower the volume during dialogue but there is no way to open the menu until I was out of dialogue again. - [b]Starting Text:[/b] The text at the start of the game went too fast for me. I wish I would just be able to click to continue it. - [b]Water texture:[/b] The water doesn’t look great in the opening part of the game. Hopefully they can improve it. - [b]Closing windows with the same button you open it:[/b] I was missing this option for the link menu, which you use to split up your characters. If I open it with G I also expect to be able to close it with G. - [b]Quick save indicator:[/b] I was missing an indicator that I quick saved.

This is a promising Expeditions game, but it needs work. If you liked the expeditions series then you should be happy that the continuity devs at Campfire Cabal have rescued it from the cluster NFT that was the explosion of the old studio. However the game is clearly lower budget than Rome was, with stylised graphics trying to cover up the difference and some rough edges in terms of UI and mechanics. It's currently very cheap on sale for what will be a 40 hour + good Expeditions RPG, so if you are a fan of the series you could preorder it now and wait for launch and you probably won't be disappointed. It's what I did with BG3!

Very interesting premise and setting where the PC is thrown into the unknown and must adapt. This provides a great setting for the player to experience everything at the same time. The game-play so far is a mix of CRPG (Expeditions: Viking/Expeditions: Rome) and Shadow Tactics and it seems to work really well because it provides more options to handle situations and not just pure combat. I am looking forward to the full release of the game The good: -Setting and story -Classes/skills and loot, seems to have cool synergy for interesting builds Companions are interesting and varied The bad: -Encountered many bugs but so far no game breaking bugs -Skills need to be used by the controlled character. For example if one companion has lock pick then I need to select that character to use the skill. It would be great if when I click a chest or door the right character would use the skill automatically -Seem to get extreme lag when opening doors

I'm leaving this a positive review because, having played the previous three installments several times and seeing the bones of something comparable here, I really do think this will ultimately be another great installment in the series. Time at review is about how long it took me to finish the Act 1 content currently available at time of review, though I did rush some things so if you take your time you will likely get more out of it, albeit not much. The dialogue is a bit clunky, the UI needs polishing, and there need to be more customization options for characters. Voice acting and writing is decent. The stealth system shows promise but there need to be some pretty big tweaks and nerfs to ranged weapons in this mode. Having said all of that, the devs (as of review time) have gone out of their way to address these complaints raised by others and have already made progress in fixing some of them. These are all things that can and are being improved in early access. If you're going to get it during the EA period, I would recommend you get it on sale and wait until very close to full release to risk the full price.
