This one kind of flew under the radar for me back when it came out but with all the hype surrounding the sequel, it seemed like a great time to play the first game ($30 USD).

Definitely have never played an RPG quite like it. It’s extremely difficult for me so far but not in a rage-inducing way, more like I keep dying because I’m playing it like Skyrim. It feels like a slow burn type of game, where the more time I invest in my character, the stronger he’ll become and the more enjoyable the game will be.

Anyone else playing the first game right around now?

    Yeah I picked it up last month, I’m finally getting the hang of combat, or Henry is getting better at it.

    I really enjoy all the little things too. Riding out of town exploring etc, then coming back filthy covered in blood, go to a bath house get cleaned up. Mend my clothes and repeat

      It’s both. They actually made a pretty neat system, where you get warnings to attack/block earlier at higher levels. So as your real-life skill improves, the games also makes it easier for you, meaning you get a double whammy of improvement.

        I love games like this where you start useless and become a god of war
