Today is your last chance to play Graven

Do you have trouble tying your shoelaces as well?

Game is aight but it's more Hexen than Arx Fatalis which is a disappointment to me. Still gonna buy.

They need to mark which barrels/bodies have drops so I don't feel compelled to smash everything in sight.

>this is meant to be some kind of thief successor
But it's not similiar to thief at all

I use velcro

Just don't smash boxes. It's more profitable/fun to just explore and find bags of coins. You found that treasure map, didn't you?
Agreed on the Arx Fatalis thing. This just isn't an immersive sim, just a fantasy FPS.

>Not playing quake in the original intended resolution.
Get out.

This made me sad as well.
I don't really understand how Arx has gone under the radar all these years, is it really that niche of a game? No HD remake, no spiritual successor, barely even a modding community.
I just don't understand why what is arguably the best first person RPG to have ever been made, has ended up being ignored during the resurgence of "classic" shooters (I'm not really sure what to cool shooters that are shooters instead of the modern bastards).
I'm also surprised they decided to make a Hexen clone instead of an Arx clone in the first place, Amid Evil already tried to cash in the hexen-bucks (though I think it was pretty terrible).

>Not playing Quake at 1K back in the day
What a poorfag

Amid is more like Heretic.
Hexen level design is just bullshit and thank god noone is being inspired by it.

Hexen level design got worse the further you got and definitely held the game back. Do any of the custom maps play well with wrath of cronos? I've been meaning to try one but I can't choose what to start with.

It was enjoyable although it still leaves a bit to be desired. I always find it annoying to play games with relatively severe limited mana. All it means is that after using the fire spell a couple of times you're pretty much tapped out so you're still going to have to rely heavily on melee. The level design could be a bit difficult to navigate, likely just because the game is rather dark which makes every area look very similar. Despite having a bit more of a story focus than other old school shooters the quests seem very standard.

Makes it feel like the MC has no agency of his own.

TES pretty much ate the whole "first person RPG" market. Now people either want to mod TES games rather than make their own games.

I did play the demo. I lowered my expectations.
The writing and setting are good, the music is alright, but right now the whole combat and game feels rather uninspired and undercooked.
My inner Heretic fanboy wants this game to be good but at the same time I dont have to hype myself too much, unless it happens the same thing that happened with WRATH: Aeon of ruin
>Videogame is okay but it didnt live up to my spectations, so I'm sort of disappointed

Also found a bug

Saw some of gameplay, looks pretty good, waiting for full game.

Wrath can be the best retroFPS released to date. Right now Ion Fury is the King and Graven is kinda average judging for the demo.

Pretty alright even if I was expecting a bit more depth.
Some secrets to be found which is also nice.

>play for 2 hours

>no checkpoints or savegame
>have to start from the beginning

Yeah not gonna start again. I liked the demo, game has potential.

I blame the sprint, don't give me such a good sprint and then take it away for a pussy version, it's sametime OP and annoying.
First person hitting isn't good, it feels like you need to play it like a shooter.

It feels like they don't know what to do with magic. They could just ditch it and nothing would be lost.
The initial weapons are ok and then at the end the game throws an awesome flail to you.

okay, I'll continue not caring

I enjoyed it aside from the low mana, low sprint stamina and performance getting worse as it went. The last one was probably just due to my computer but the first two felt like pretty pointless design choices, mana drops in increments of 5 but it doesn't seem like you can use less than 7 at a time since it drains so fast. The ring that lets you get mana back from enemies dying under spell effects was neat but you're still spending 7 mana to get back 5.
The spells also didn't seem worthy of being so mana limited, fire was only useful for puzzle stuff and quickly breaking big piles of barrels and crates before getting the flail, the lightning's stun was cool to use on the first big dog thing but after that they give you the crossbow and so much ammo for it that it's trivial to just shoot every dog to death and never touch the lightning for the rest of the demo.
The two stages of sprint stamina is also weird since the first one lasts maybe five seconds and draining the second one is almost impossible and does absolutely nothing if you somehow manage it. Maybe if melee was also tied to stamina and draining it made attacks weaker or something, but as it is purple stamina is just a meter for how long you have to listen to the character pant.
