Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (2023 Video Game)
6/10
Don't let the first boss discourage you! It will get easier after.

If Sekiro and Nioh had a child, it would be this game.

The first boss is much more difficult than it should be but don't worry, it will get easier after.

Looks like a mediocre ps4 game, some of the mechanics are unnecessarily overcomplicated, story is below average but OH MY GOD the combat is so much FUN!! (Which is the most important aspect of a game like this)

I thought Sekiro had the best combat in all Souls-like games but this one is even better.

Compared to all the other Souls games, the combat here is more complex, allows you to do much more combos, use different types of attacks, combine them however you like and the pace is fast as hell but also it is more forgiving.

No stamina, instead you have something like in Sekiro but it is more complicated here and the game doesn't really explain it to you but it is rewarding and fun once you figure out how it actually works.

No rolling left and right, instead you can deflect the incoming attacks, or dodge away with some cool acrobatic moves or you can just block.

You can use the elements (water, fire, earth etc) and cast awesome spells with them. You can also summon Divine Beasts to help you. Each with different attacks and buffs.

You can also have one or two AI companions to go with you and help you. They can be really helpful.

The cutscenes are awesome. The fight scenes looks like from a movie. Looks incredible.

It's a really fun game, I definitely recommend it. Doesn't look amazing, won't change your life, won't be game of the year but you will love it if you like these type of games because the combat makes up for everything.
