This game is for people who thoroughly enjoy the looter genre, don't expect an amazing story or anything like that.
   
   I have heard some things that I do think should be touched upon such as not attack canceling. I really hope they update the game throughout time as I think the game has incredible potential.… Expand

I think a 0 toI maybe being a little generous by giving a straight 10 to counter the extremely low scores but in my opinion it falls about 8. I think a 0 to 7 is too low. I'm currently playing thru Godfall, in fact just turned the game off to write this review. Let's just post the facts: it runs smoothly if you play on performance mode. No drop in framerate and beautiful in 4k. The people that gave low scores and complained about slow framerates and crashes, I can only assume were playing on resolution or fidelity mode. Go with performance mode trust me. The different realms are gorgeous to look at but lack in small cosmetic details. It's a grind looting but can be well worth it for your specific play style. Eventually you can buy loot from a shop keep. Not real world money. This game does not provide a deep story but it's good enough to be just interested enough to play. It's really one of those, hey the bad guy did this so we're gonna do that and this has to work because we don't have any other options. The story is passable enough to make it worthwhile. Don't expect a lot of banter between characters because it's just you for the most part. Now the meat and potatoes is the actual gameplay. It has a bit of a learning curve, getting the timing down for blocks and counters takes a little getting used to but the fights are truly fun. Especially the boss fights. There seems to be a lot of back and forth between the same realms so that can make it kind of a slog at times. The graphics are beautiful, this indie company did a great job there. Needs work on story but has great gameplay. My recommendation is check it for sure but catch it on sale. It's worthy of your time but not at $70. Catch it on sale at $35 or $40 and enjoy! This game deserves much higher than a 0 or 1 like some people have posted. I'm personally looking forward to how they improve on the game and see where this really goes. Hope this helps!… Expand

   I can not in good conscience recommend this game in its current state. It is fundamentally broken with many game breaking bugs and glitchesI can not in good conscience recommend this game in its current state. It is fundamentally broken with many game breaking bugs and glitches and it feels entirely as if it was completely gutted in the last few months before release (like what happened to the first Destiny release)
   
   Positive:
   - There are some really nice looking areas - in particular the Air realm is quite spectacular.
   - The 4 main bosses provide sufficient, unique and interesting challenges.
   
   Negative:
   - numerous gamebreaking bugs and glitches including; instances where you are unable to use a light attack (the trigger works in the menu, and every other attack works), instances where the mission doesn't end when it should (unable to exit to Sanctum), respawn counter that doesn't count properly (on hard mode sometimes the mission fails when you have two respawns left);
   - inability to finish the final main story mission. A glitch occurred when I was three quarters the way through the bosses health where it threw me to the credits title card and got stuck on that screen, when I restarted the game, I was back in the hub with no ability to finish the story;
   - The story feels entirely gutted, the entire game is walk to one NPC, walk to the other NPC, walk back to the first NPC, go to the hub map, start a mission kill a boss and repeat. That's it, there's no variation;
   - The Valorplates are irrelevant - there is no gameplay difference in using any of the Valorplates - except for the couple that spawn drones, and the method to obtain them is collect materials (you get a ridiculous amount in the game without hunting) walk up to the plate and unlock it. There is nothing special about these items.
   - The voice of my character changed from Male to Female with no explanation - my guess is because of the Valorplate I changed to;
   - There is NO MAP, and every area in a realm looks exactly the same. It gets incredibly easy to get lost and because there are no recognisable reference points to tell you where you are.
   - This is a primarily single player game but for whatever reason you have to be online to play. I didn't try the co-op mode because there is NO MATCHMAKING - I'm the only person in my friend group who was able to get a PS5 at launch, I can't play co-op without going to an external channel.
   
   Wait for a deep sale on this game.… Expand

   Don't buy it. Another example of a lazy developer putting out trash simply hyped up as a next-gen title because it shines, regardless of theDon't buy it. Another example of a lazy developer putting out trash simply hyped up as a next-gen title because it shines, regardless of the game freezing every time a medium-sized enemy dies on all platforms. Sony, as disappointing as ever, desperately touting this game as the bee's knees. A pathetic example of the "justified" price hike to $70. Let us pay them MORE, to do LESS!
   
   AAA Cashgrab, focusing on nothing but "oh shiny, oh wow particle effects! 10/10" reviewers.
   
   Developers hopped on the $70 price-hike train, charging more money for less and less quality. No, your next-gen shine and particle effects leap is not worth an additional $10. Mods do the same thing for 10-year-old games free of charge.
   
   The game is poor quality, combat is copy-paste and boring. Maps are copy-paste with different filters (Oh Shiny, still!). Basically, it's a decorated hallway simulator.
   
   No campaign at all. AT ALL. Farm the same 5-minute missions (go here, kill that) 20 times to collect tokens to unlock doors (mobile game???). Open the big door a couple of times, the game is over. Oh, and you talk to two different NPC's about how bad the bad guy is every once in a while.
   
   It's bad guys. Really, it's pathetically bad. The fact that this was hoisted as a true next-gen AAA experience during all this time (and NOBODY at Sony realized how truly awful this was) is concerning, and a bad, bad sign for this new generation of games. Also, just goes to show that Sony doesn't actually have a single clue about what a videogame actually is.
   
   Avoid. Avoid. And if somebody gives it a 10/10, avoid them too. It's either an attempt to combat buyer's remorse or an employee.… Expand
