They took something that worked and made it worse.

If you're coming into this from Gunvolt 2 or Luminous Avenger iX, you will immediately attempt to multi-dash, only to wonder why it doesn't work. Eventually you may note there's no Bullits in this game, despite dashing still being called Bullit Dashing. What this means is that you can no longer multi-dash at all outside of Overdrive mode, removing a core feature of Copen's gameplay: speed and bouncing around from enemy to enemy. "Oh but it's easy to get into Overdrive," no, for casual players it won't be, especially since checkpoints reset your kudos.

They also gave Copen a 3-part melee combo meant to evoke Zero from Mega Man X/Zero. However, the combo can only be used when standing still, you cannot walk/run and combo, making it a strictly worse and functionally unusable way to kill enemies. It looks cool, but you'll never be using it practically over any other option you have.

Though everything else about this game so far is amazing, I cannot recommend this game over Gunvolt 2 or Luminous Avenger iX due to the unnecessary change to dashing/Bullits, and the unusable melee combo.

~20 hours in.

Elephant in the room: this has pay2win microtransactions. It's a single player game, who cares. If people want to pay money to go faster, let them.

Pretty much everything about this game is good, except:

Very linear.
New equipment always beats old equipment, no decisions to make.
Sound balancing is off in places (especially cooking).
Way too many voiced lines in combat with no ability to reduce combat voice volume or turn off attack shouting so you can hear the actual banter instead.
Graphics leave a bit to be desired, especially draw distance.

But otherwise you can't go wrong, this is on-par with Tales of Berseria.

ohno

I think a lot of people would say that vaulting/removing (temporarily) a lot of old content was a bad idea, but as a player who tried to get into the game heavily before Beyond Light, I burned myself out with how much there was to do and how much time you had to spend daily zipping across 10 areas to get all your daily quests and progress done. The vaulting gave us something to focus on doing, tightening the experience up between 5 areas instead of 10. Is there less to do now? Yeah. But that's not a bad thing.

Choice paralysis and completionist fright were keeping a lot of people out of the game, and now it's not an issue. You don't need to set aside 5 hours a day just to get your daily tasks done. IMO, it's a much better experience to juggle with other games now than it was before, and knowing the old content will come back later means I'm not concerned about missing its stuff. Instead I can focus on clearing the current content, so that when the old stuff comes back, I can focus fully on that.

Beyond Light is an 11/10 experience, Stasis is insanely fun to play with, and the new lore is top notch.

Dead Space atmosphere & gameplay + SCP Foundation lore. Perfect. Must play.

guud

Is good game.

Is good plot.

Like Gunvolt 2 but without the boring character.

Typical Pay to Win card game model. Imagine Hearthstone if you could pay to have more starting life, more room on the board and better hero powers, on top of being able to buy cards. Balance is also terrible. Don't bother with this one.

The port has some obvious bugs (very poor controller support being a major one), and a few issues with graphics (hair looks especially terrible for some reason), fullscreen/windowed not working very well, but it's perfectly playable and extremely fun.

You can fix controller woes by using Steam in Big Picture mode and setting controller settings through it, thankfully.

Womp.

Best game on Steam 2018.
