Weapons should feel powerful
Because this is a singleplayer game, more than being strong, weapons should feel strong, but there are too many weapons that don't feel strong or good to use.
Striga looked so cool when I picked it up, but it absolutely horrendous to use and it also feels like it doesn't do anything. Even with the AoE burn it feels bad against groups.
Ricochet seems cool in practice but it just doesn't feel nearly as good as any of the other auto rifles. The marking seems cool but feels clunky and I don't think it competes.
All seeing eye is fun in theory but it both feels weak and has anti synergy in its kit, dealing AoE damage but also wants people to be full health for the damage. I never see myself picking this over other Bolt actions.
Midas I actually think is really strong as it melts enemies, but it feels like a peashooter, and I think its largely due to audio design.
Nemesis' Mark system feels like it should be stronger than it is, cause the gun itself feels like it deals low damage. It kinda feels okay fully upgraded with the burn but by then if finally feels okay, and not great. Compared to Hunger, which also wants consecutive crits, even if it hits almost twice as hard, it feels weaker.
Martyr, the magnetic shots don't always work, even if aimed only slightly amiss from the target. The ADS shot to mark them feels clunky, you need to drop your dps to do so and doesn't do significant damage. mysteria 3 feels downright detrimental.
Frostbite has a great mechanic, that feels good to use, but its damage feels insanely low. Maybe cause I'm directly comparing it with Hypnosis, but the payoff for perfect reloading feels worse, until you 3 reloads, where it becomes almost impossible to keep that up, where Hypnosis can easily get perfect timings every shot. Frostbite also feels more punishing, as missing it once means 3 reloads that are weaker, where Hypnosis goes back to full power instantly.
I don't have all lategame weapons unlocked cause I'm currently running around the castle upgrading what I have. I find myself avoiding above mentioned weapons (except midas) when I want to beat a boss or go for the Tower cause they just feel useless.
