I really struggled my first play through, I upped the difficulty yet I’m mowing through these people with my broken bloodstained fiend dual wield set. Almost feels like a different game, I’ve got damn near infinite combos with this shit
I love this game so much. Tempted to try a new weapon but I love the agile pressure of DW
As a man who never wearks makeup, not once, I kinda thought double cleansing was a waste, or potentially irritating for my skin for minimal benefits. Like risks outweigh benefits type beat. I do wear sunscreen but not every day, and I thought gel cleanser was enough. Plus, I hate cleansing oils because of the mess they make.
My girlfriend gifted me a Banila Co CLEAN IT ZERO cleansing balm in a pink jar. I had never heard of it. She told me it was a holy grail for her, and since she knows I hate the oil consistency she thought it was perfect. I tried it once and my skin felt amazing that night, though I did feel a bit of irritation on that first use.
I have since incorporated it every friday to my routine. My skin is clearer than before using it. I treat it like exfoliation, once a week. Gel cleanser every night (no cleanser in the morning, ever), and one night a week deep cleaning with the balm as well.
I wonder if I can attribute this imporvement to the balm cleanser? Or do you think it has to be something else? (maybe weather, diet etc, since I haven't made other changes)
if you don't wear makeup, highly recommend you look into this regardless. I think every day is too much irritation, even gel cleanser I skip on some days, but having a balm cleanser in my cabinet to reach for sometimes is key.
If you're awake, you can move right along.
But if you're still sleeping on this game, let me please give it to you straight cause it deserves all the praise.
It has absolutely the best combat system out of any souls I've ever played. Enemy variety is a bit lacking, but bosses are absolutely top tier, and the mechanics themselves are incredible.
It mixes fast paced combat with Sekiro parry in an absolutely perfect way. You can parry your way through bosses, but their healths will seem incredibly spongy. You're supposed to interrumpt their attacks and be aggressive. Big chunky damage or quick hack and slash depending on your build and weapon type.
Three weapons. All kick ass. All have their own unique skill tree. Weapons are like a part of your build, they aren't interchangeable like in other games. You gotta stick to a weapon and build its skill tree.
The combat is the perfect mix between Sekiro and Monster Hunter with just the tiniest DMC sprinkle. You can't button mash, you have to be deliberate with your inputs to create combos but you can also cancel out of attacks.
Art style is amazing and unique, realistic textures with cel shading on top. Aside from looking gorgeous and giving battles an anime flair, it allows most of enemy hits and "wind ups" to be perfectly readable. It does not feel as trial and error as other parry games thanks to the animation.
The problem: the level design and the story. Mid as hell. All the levels look the same and toward the end they become a grind. The samey enemies don't help either. It's not a perfect game. But if your focus is on combat and bosses, this is an absolute treat.
going on NG+ now. thanks for listening to my rant.
I asked this like 4 years ago and got some great responses and now I'm feeling the itch again. A lot of games came out since then. I'm looking for a cool MV to play...
Not necessarily a ninja but like... games where the movement is buttery smooth like whoosh pow you're just bip bopping around, hitting people, it just flows. No clunky ass movement or dumb walking speed. Slick action combat and good movement.
Quality examples: Metroid Dread, Prince of Persia LC, Strider 2014
any games like that you played? new or old. thank you.
