Tears of Metal

positive critical· bar length = how often the theme comes up

I have enjoyed the game very much so far. For 22 dollars, its a good deal. Let me throw some pros and cons at you. Pros: Combat feels nice Progression is there, and it feels well paced The art style is really neat and relatively consistent The music is very cool Builds feel less impactful over raw skill, god runs exist but you can get by with a few build items Cons: Early access Its not really clear what can be unlocked, or how to unlock it. The game currently displays things that are unavailable The longer runs turn a lot of people off, difficulty scales pretty quickly Mistakes are PUNISHING, unless you have Ruadh on your team Ruadh's utility is so sought after, that you will likely see players playing just him, often whole teams are just him In general, it has its flaws, you see a lot of people on here complaining about combat and block, but block is 360 degrees, so timing is more important, there is a cooldown, but awareness is key and you can roll out of pretty much everything. Builds are one thing, but what matters most, especially on solo runs, is the army you bring and their sigils, that is how you start your build. I don't normally play games with a heavy emphasis on blocking and dodging, but I have been doing fine.
