It does look easy, but I love the style of it. Honestly an easy and shortish game would be fun after Elden Ring.

I think the combat looks bad. Enemies just stand around waiting for you to blast them with magic. Finishing animation where you grab the core will get old quick.

The good news is that the setting looks incredible. This might be the best portrayal of Tokyo we've seen in games and the spooky vibes are heavy without being horror. I'm sure it will be super cool to explore.

Can't say I'm sold on the gameplay experience though. Does combat feel good? Is exploration rewarding? Is there more to do or is it full of open world cliches? I wish there was a playable demo.

I'll probably just grab Kirby that day and maybe wait for gamepass on this.

Yeah I'm really digging this. I'm loving those attack animations. So stylish. I'll be getting this for sure.

Enemies look anemic and there doesn't seem to be any music.

Also I'm kinda sad that the radio signal mechanic from The Evil Within 2 is back but this time as a dead space style gps system. Why not just have directions for mission objectives instead? It's a single city after all.

I get that, but I'm personally excited to play it in Japanese. It feels appropriate because that's how they would speak.

Can say that about a lot of games that most of us play in English. For example, I'd love to play the Metro games in the original Russian, but I miss way too much background talking that it's not worth it for me.

Every time I see more of this I can't get "why the hell isn't this a PSVR2 game?!?!" out of my head. The pace, visual pop, the magic combat gestures, the bow, the way the player character flies slowly through the sky and that VResque vignette surrounds the screen (lol why)... The aesthetic is so interesting and those reflections and stuff my God but it just doesn't look that engaging to play. I want to be in this game more than I want to play it.

Hopefully it reviews well but as it stands I think I'm more excited for the other two March 25 releases.

Weirdly laid back for a paranormal action game. I was excited for this based on the pedigree, but it doesn't actually look very good. Enemies weren't doing anything and there were barely any of them. If you wanna make a game where most of the enemies only do melee attacks then you need to find a way for them to put some pressure on the player. Two-three enemies slowly walking in circles while you spam charge attacks is not it.

I'm still not sure if there's any form of pushback in this combat system. Can you use any elemental power against any enemy and easily dispatch them or do you need to be specific? Do the enemies have countermeasures for your attacks? How much is mobility a factor?

Game looks great, was one of the titles I was into from rip on the PS5 announcement. I wonder if the Raytracing is expanded in the PC version or if it's just Raytracing + a high framerate.

Bummed it's Sub Only though. Yeah Yeah, blah blah authenticity, whatever. I've played and watched plenty of Japan-located works in English before.

Looks like fun, but I need the enemies to be more aggressive. Everyone is pretty much just standing around in the video. Maybe these are just the weaker enemies in the game and as you progress it gets harder.

Combat gameplay looks pretty boring and static, but I'm loving the visuals and vibe. If the story seems engaging enough, might be worth checking out.

To the user who argued with me about the low sound effects from the reveal a month or so ago. I told you so! This game looks and sounds great!

Looks neat, I'll probably end up getting it even though I have too much to play already.

Oh, word? I don't recall since the only trailers I remember were relatively recent with the JP Audio, but I'll do some perusing. Big if true.

Yeah there's definitely English audio. Two of the English voice actors for Genshin characters are doing the main protagonist and his sister's voices.

Here's the VA that voices Akito

The combat looks kinda lame? Most of enemies didn't even tried to attack him, just waited there to die lol

I hope this is just the beginning or some area in the game and it has some more action and enemy variety.

The game looks really cool and I'm a huge fan of The Evil Within 2 so I am for sure getting this game but not feeling a need to buy it immediately. Gonna go with Kirby as a relaxing game as I continue working through Elden Ring and maybe get Ghostwire: Tokyo this summer since it's looking pretty light especially compared to February and March of this year.

I do wonder if they tuned down aggressiveness for the enemies for this video. I'm sure there will be difficulty settings

These hand signs would make Naruto characters blush. Real talk they're really cool and a great decision to make them as cool as possible considering that's all the player will be looking at.

Ok, the hand jitsu gameplay looks fun but I guess I was expecting something more fast paced. hmm, don't know how I feel about this yet tbh.

Looks a lot more interesting now. That last gameplay snippet put me off but now I'm kinda curious again.

It looks good but are there any other regular humans?

I saw the ghost boy but it looks like 99% combat, which looks like it would get really old if that is all you are doing the entire time.

The plot is that the entire population of Tokyo has vanished. In the visual novel prequel there was a supporting cast, though, so it's unclear

Very hard to gauge the enjoyment of the loop just by videos for this one. If nothing else this looks 100% unique to what's on the AAA market.

Ok yea, the only gameplay footage I've seen so far is the original announcement footage but wasn't really sold on it. 45 seconds into this video and seeing the 'backstab' and resulting particle effects...yea I I'm sold, just looks cool af
