2. It looks like its the kind of game that would have survival elements to it, is there any?

3. There is simple and then there is deceptively simple.

4. Looking quite good, also DRM free! I might buy this.

5. hey can they talk when they have no mouth or face? literally unplayable.

6. Need more life in your voice

7. Downloaded this on xbox one X and the 30 FPS hit me right in the face. First darksiders 3 and now this. Deleted it immediately. Its runs at a low fps and is not even remotely as responsive and fun as Dark Souls. I got the x1x just for the sake of RDR2. Now i feel like i shouldve just waited for the PC version. Meh fuck console gaming.

8. Bro why the hell is your voice so soothing

9. its looks nice and there are some interesting elements but idk if the combat is up to par with dark souls just my opinon

10. I personally love the respawning enemies after death and/or after reloading areas. Not only is it good for learning from your mistakes, practice and revenge but for farming and making areas feel alive as well. The more you get engage in combat the better because its a huge part of the fun factor of the game and also prepares you for tougher foes. It also is a sense of punishment and makes you weigh risk and reward so you enter every engagement tactically so you limit the uses of your consumables for the boss. Its actually a very important aspect that ties together this dynamic style of game. Its like the glue to mastering the combat system and leveling.

11. Im finally buying a pc and Ashen is the game that pushed me over the edge. Ive always been a PlayStation guy but it's time to expand. Ashen and Shrouded in Sanity are the first games im buying on Steam.

12. Been playing it nonstop. Fantastic game. I need more games like Dark Souls as it's my favorite genre. The Co op on these kind of games are so fun to play with friends. Best gaming experience imo. Loveeeeee the Art style too.

13. I am about 8 hours in and i still dont get the point of different weapons. I found a "Runic Axe" that has less damage, stun AND crit then my current axe. Thing is you cant sell gear which suggest you are meant to keep the weapons you find and upgrade them. Is there something i am missing ? Some hidden stat ? Attack speed maybe ?

14. Great game..

15. This video made me very calm.

16. But can you level up stats or something with that exp points that you get killing enemies? Or its only used to "buy" upgrades to the items/weapons? And do you have armors or something?

17. absoulver rip off ?

18. Is there a single sword in this game??

19. looks like absolver in uncreative to me

20. Ah. I was looking for the way back to the camp for hours. Havent found the window to get through. Thanks!

21. So is this basically open world?

22. Fantastic. 10 out of 10 from me

23. Game looks great. 🙂

24. You should do ASMR, lol

25. I wish they had a manual. when you press up on the dpad sometimes it calls your partner, and sometimes your character will give the go signal and a golden dust will flow out of you. Not sure how to explain it.

26. Looks extremely boring and the colour pallet seems dull and lifeless. Maybe it's just this particular area but meh.

27. is this the dark souls of cell shading?

28. Thanks for the nice introduction to this game! I was on the fence but after this video I think I'll be getting it.

29. 9 out of 10

30. This game is pretty good but hard

31. I Like it!. You should be a certified Alpha 🙂

32. Reminds me of Absolver.

33. Game looks terrible easy pass, thanks for the review

34. Is the difficulty like Dark Souls of easier? I like the Art and Style of the Game Bit Not the difficulty of Souls Game ?
