So I got my hands on a copy from Meijer as well. The biggest concern I have with the game right now is with its performance. There are a lot of framerate dips when the combat gets hectic, and there was one point where it dropped to what felt like single digit frames for several seconds (I wasn't in combat so I think this was bug/weather related). It's also got some pretty nasty pop in issues and long load times. I'm hoping whatever patch is out that I can't download fixes some of these things.

Otherwise, it's actually pretty cool. The animations are sort of jank when you're moving fast, but Joule controls surprisingly well. Feels responsive and not nearly as floaty as it has looked on some of the previews. The combat sort of reminds me of Jet Force Gemini on crack. In a lot of ways, it feels more like an action game than a shooter since the emphasis is on being evasive and keeping your combos going. Still pretty early on, but I'm looking forward to playing some more.

Thanks for this

That day one patch probably goes live when the reviewers get their code. I think.

Can everyone please stop saying bad things about this game until the patch arrives? I can't take the hype yo-yo.

 

[Theorry]

Curious if the review people already got a code?

game is apparently out there

Any updated impressions?

Any updated impressions?

So yeah, looks like the patch fixed some of the framerate issues and retooled some vague command prompts. I don't think it touched the load times or pop in, which is disappointing. It's still pretty great though. I think the people looking forward to it here are going to enjoy it, especially if you're looking for some fun traversal stuff

Nice.

Judging from the previews, I won't be getting this until the price goes down. Looks unpolished and visually verbose.
