The Blood of Dawnwalker

easy goty. combat is fun for an rpg, but can be pretty easy even on higher difficulties if you're quick to react. choices that you don't think matter end up mattering, and come up in more than just dialogue. I don't like that levelling consumes time, but this leads to making choices in more situations.

Wgryzam się w przeciwników jak pewien Pan w ziemniaczki.

After 3 hours I am simply hooked on Cohen's character, story, his past and what lies before him. World design is beautiful and the combat system is really enjoyable, the need to stay alert and focus during combat is a great challenge, well done to the devs for trying something new because it works. I can see Dawnwalker being a franchise and not just a 1 hit wonder

Very interesting setting and story, good mc, lots of choices and a solid combat.

Firstly, I just want to say that this game is amazing so far. It's not perfect, and yeah, the combat gave me a bad taste at first, but I rearranged my controller layout and found a fun flow for combat. I just want to say that I already have 9 hours of playtime, and I'm only on Day 7 of this whole "30 days to save your family" thing. Now, I haven't done a lot of side quests, mainly fighting and a few side quests here and there. But when you think about the fact that you're a vampire who doesn't sleep, you have full days and nights to spend, with quests taking up time. Your free roam doesn't affect the clock. Another thing: I keep seeing comments from ignorant people saying things like the combat is stale because it's just fighting, parrying, and dodging. Like, yes, that's the first part of the combat system, BUT there are witchcraft fighting styles, sword techniques, and vampire abilities that all shape a much deeper combat system. It's actually really fun and fluid as well. I am playing on the lowest difficulty because I haven't played The Witcher, and I guess the combat style is the same or similar? I'm not sure, I just keep seeing people say that. Also, the enemies looked like sponges in the gameplay trailers. So, I wanted to get comfortable with the combat and actually experience the story. I have died quite a few times. Some fights simply are not easy, especially when you're overwhelmed by enemies. At least till you level up your abilitles, things get a lot more fluid in taking down crowds of enemies. (As you should as a vampire imo) The story so far has been extremely good. You'd think all these conversations would be tedious, but surprisingly, they're quick and informative. Thank God there aren't a bunch of "fetch me this" or "fetch me that" quests. A lot of these conversations can also be ended simply by being a vampire and having vampire needs lol. No spoilers, but it's very cool. The attention to detail and the awareness of your circumstances are very well thought out and, oddly enough, genuinely surprised me. +1. Your actions really do have consequences. Miss something like an ingredient in a brew, and it can cause a death, for example. One thing I really like is being able to not trust someone and walk away from a conversation, then go back to them after rethinking my options. I get a whole new dialogue with new choices, almost as if we both thought about our previous conversation. It's kind of insane lol. I loved every second of that. And let's not forget that all these games are either releasing before or after GTA 6 lol. So, I'm sure that in the coming updates, things like the awkward movement and some NPC glitches will be fixed in due time. I'm actually glad they released Dawnwalker before GTA 6 rather than after it. This is just my opinion, but watching these chatters and commenters with their ridiculous takes on the game simply pissed me off, so I had to leave my two cents here. Whether you're still deciding to buy the game or not, I would highly suggest getting it. To me, it's worth the price. I'll probably play this game a few more times just to see different outcomes because there are so many different choices to make that I can't even fathom them all. I want a trilogy. I want some werewolf lore as well. Thank you.

The Witcher but more tightly focused. 15 hours in so far... wonderful writing, world building. Decent directional combat. Embrace the limited time mechanic you cowards!
