I spent about 15 hours on this already, and luckily for me, I only ran into one major bug (froze but thankfully game autosaved a lot) and one light one (two enemies in one spot). We played online two people with two characters each and it was fun and worked great, we only controlled our own characters. Sounds like maybe it’s more optimized for online than couch co-op, but who wants to buy two copies of the game if you don’t have to?

Music is improved, couldn’t play a lot of the first one because it kept making my partner pass out, too sleepy vibe. No issues like that here, soundtrack is nice.

I suppose it is really similar to the first, except the new taller models and stuff. The dead heroes thing seems new to and possibly neat, but I could be wrong. I see it more as a story sequel than a game sequel currently. I was happy buying it early, but for others, I’d probably recommend getting it on more of a sale.

The coolest thing I’ve seen all year, if only someone makes a digital/emulated version of this I’d be set for life. FFCC is an absolute stellar game that really needs a proper remake and more love

Really depends on what you don’t like about DnD.

Not a fan of the prep work? Everything you need to know is written in game, no research necessary.

Not a fan of the mechanics? They’re still here, but feels pretty streamlined/approachable. The most DnD thing here I’d say is…rolling? I don’t see a lot of games where you roll dice for a chance at success. If you don’t like that mechanic there’s some stuff in game to make it easier to succeed at the things you care about and if that’s not enough you can always quicksave/quickload and retry.

Not a fan of the tabletop nature of DnD? Well this is a video game that feels like…a video game.

Not a fan of the role-playing aspect? I’m not sure you’d like it then. It’s definitely a story driven game not a hack n slash.

Not a fan of the setting/races/lore? Yeah don’t play.

So you could potentially still like the game, but it really depends.

Not op, but here’s one: https://www.britannica.com/animal/black-panther-mammal

I always use this as a fun fact
