Nathan Drake in a Korean Neir RPG?

I love the UI...very slick...although I'm not sure I like that it shows the text on screen of every action you make - 'Dodge', 'Parry' etc
 
Taking a note from the Atlus playbook with the UI and camera framing. Persona 5 and the 3 remake are style incarnate and this looks pretty strong too.

I hope this sticks the landing.
 
Looks interesting, but the fat pillow looking monster just looked confusing and boring to me. And overall it seems to be made for consoles, so a bit sceptical.
 
Gameplay seems similar to Midnight Suns, I just hope the writing and characters are less obnoxious.
 
Looks like it'll give me motion sickness the way the camera keeps moving between menu commands.
 
The latest Trailer on Steam this game looks exactly like a Final Fantasy game you even get fast travel Airship character but it's not a airship it looks like European Final Fantasy. The video on Steam is called the preorder trailer.

So basically its a French Renaissance painting.
Why three separate posts?
 
Reminds me of a "Last of us" game in some ways with the characters. But may look into it. :)
 
34.00 on CD keys but won't have time to play it this week. Not sure if I want the game it looks like a Dream game that has on the rails campaign. You keep walking towards the light type of thing. Doom is alright around the corner along with Nightreign I'm still downloading Oblivion big game.

Actually shocked at the aggregate score. Higher than many AAA games and apparently the highest rated game of 2025 on Opencritic.

I say shocked both since the trailer wasn't doing anything for me and it made me think it was Yet Another AA Game, though tbf even Dishonored 2's marketing didn't highlight what was great about it yet was a stunning game and become one of my favorites.
 
Reviews are Very Positive game launched last night. Maybe I'll see if CD keys has a deal.
