Started this game on pc/gamepass, quite good tbh.  The end of prologue was totally unexpected, playing thru act 1, currently in that flying waters level.

 

The game is quite tough though, until you master dodge/parry.  The TBS mechanics seems simple for now, let’s see how it looks when the party is full (assuming lot many allies would get added as the game progresses) !!

 

Also the game runs super smooth on my pc at 1440p. 

You'll find it easy after Act 1. I am at the point of game where I am easily killing/one shotting enemies. 

 

It's fun nonetheless.

Hehe game gets really hard later levels. 

 

Make sure explore every area for resources. I had reload old save and gi back exploring for resources as i couldn't kill certain bosses. Im on normal difficulty.

 

 

Most people here would have skipped or missed this game if not for gamepass. Gamepass is the best value for gaming service in industry peroid.

If you're finding it tough now then you'll walk through hell in certain areas, which difficulty you're playing on btw.

I’m on normal but bumped it down to easy to make progress at a couple of points.  Problem with easy is little to no challenge and takes the fun away from the game.

How are you able to create multiple saves ? I  see only auto save enabled for me.

 

 Also btw, found that rare chest before the hut in that flying waters level, any idea if I’ll get the keys to open it later ? If not, can I come back to it later ?

Exactly, although I'm playing on Expert, I was having a bad time with one boss and I bumped down to expedition difficulty and it was waaaayyy too easy for me so I bumped up to expert again and never going down.

What chest? I didn't find any. I have an old key for a door, dunno what's it's used for, no description.

While ingame. Option > load previous save. It gives you 3 auto save options to choose from.

Don't play easy man. I would highly recmmend to play on normal. You'll feel this game much easier on Normal difficulty if you explore and get better weapons. Equip all pictos, there is no limit to it. Equip the health ones if you are dying too much. 

 

Game opens up and completely changes in Act 2. There is this 'Reserve team' mechanic as well. I feel like the game is already too easy in main path, playing on easy would break the game. 

 

Already I have some weapons that feel like breaking the game, one shotting enemies. 

 

Or perhaps you guys stepped into some high level unknown territory. Do those later.

This game looks fantastic. Will start this once I am done with Red Dead 2

Outside the hut there was a chest, I think it’s called a cage in the game.  I had to find some stuff to open it.  I guess now I’ve come much further !

Yeah, switched back to normal now.  At level 8 or I think 9 now and able to take down even big bosses without losing too much health.  Key is to use parry correctly I guess !

Thanks.  I think the saving at this flag locations kinda overwrites a save slot as the boss fights an anyway trigger one save !

Yeah Parry is basically cheating to this game. But soooo much fun! Never gets old!

Couldn't wait and bought the game on Steam. Looks good and story is really intriguing. I can see myself playing this game for a long time. Performance is sh*t though on PC at 4k even with a 4080.

Try bumping it down to 2k, I’m playing at 2k, runs super smooth on my pc and my card is like quite aged now -3060ti. With a 4080,  the game should run much better for you at 2k with everything maxed out.

You won't regret it (I hope) 

There were gamers who never liked turn based games are enjoying and praising this one

Its running at around 60 fps for me at 4k max settings with DLSS. It is smooth and no issues in performance as such but I expect much better with a 4080. Thats what I meant.
