Damn, i throught bosses had wayy more hp than OG Dark Arisen. I then realized they covered that up with like 10 hp bars where the bar got refilled until the dots under the bar itself went empty. This one just goes with regular HP bar. I was all "maan, why did they do that change?" Until i realized. Bars getting empty quicker felt a bit more satisfying i guess.
I was also kinda dissapointed with some combat changes at first, an example was how you could delay a regular light hit and it would turn into an alternative combo. That was until i realized you unlocked it as a core skill at like lvl 9, so i guess that took care of that.
I really like the world too. While i guess the game aint pretty in any technical way, but the envoriment is so damn pretty anyway. The tavern is coozy as hell, the grass plains are really pretty and the caves are atmospheric as hell. Even music is on par with the original DD soundtrack so far.
This game is straight up 10/10 for me so far. I just hope i don't encounter some crazy paywall later in the game.
