AndyKurosaki Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 This was not on my radar, at all. Then I saw the reviews. Then I played the demo. Man, this is REALLY good. I’m definitely going to rent it. I’m already getting Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Apollo Justice Trilogy and Last Of Us Part 2: £10 upgrade. But yeah, I really like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 It's actually a proper demo, too, and not just *insert beginning of the game*. They let you run around a certain path by blocking off a couple of screen exits and give you some tools, but not all of them, to play around with movement and combat options. Not unlike the Immortals demo now that I think about it, which was the last UbiSoft game I enjoyed. Minor detail, but I also liked that you can choose Persian language. I played it on Switch, runs fine most of the time. I'll see whether or not I prefer it on Xbox, but I suspect Switch's digital shoulder buttons might be an advantage here for quick dashes and parries. Edit: lol, seems like the game forces you to be online on every platform except Switch. That's one easy decision where to pick it up then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 Yeah, this is definitely one of the better demos we’ve had in a long time. It made me go from “Not too bothered” to “Well this is awesome”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted January 12, 2024 Share Posted January 12, 2024 Played the demo and loved it. Definitely going to pick it up, and appreciate the slightly lower retail price. I'm glad to hear it performs well on everything. I was tempted to go Switch but think it has to be Series X for me. It felt so good so play with the 120hz. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfnick Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 PSA - don’t get this on Xbox. There’s a really noticeable input delay. Thought I’d got a setting wrong on TV or something. Kept missing jumps and parries. But nope. Been complained about by a lot of people specifically on Xbox. PS5 and Switch are fine. FFS!! Can’t refund it either since I used a code.

retroed Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 I didn't experience that at all on the demo. It was snappy as anything. Hopefully they can fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 I need to check if I’ve got auto HDR on. Turning that off supposedly alleviates a lot of it, although it’s still there. Pretty certain I’ve already got that off though. That’ll teach me for buying a game digitally & day 1… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 So turned off Auto HDR (&HDR10 to make sure) & it feels a lot better now. Really strange since this game doesn’t have HDR and doesn’t support Auto HDR so I wouldn’t think that’d change anything? But whatever, I can enjoy it now.

mfnick Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 Never had to do this for any other game though and I must have had auto HDR on since it was first rolled out. So it’s still on the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 Yeah I don't think auto hdr is the 'more input lag' button last I checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 Glad the Xbox version is still good. That’s where I want to play it. I feel like Auto HDR should always be left off anyway. It’s the one Xbox graphics feature I think is really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted January 20, 2024 Share Posted January 20, 2024 Put a bit of time into it now & it does eeem that has definitely solved it. I can confirm it’s fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 11, 2024 Share Posted August 11, 2024 Launching on PC platforms outside of Ubisoft launcher Little reminder that this came this year. Definitely worth a play, I think most people on here would really like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted August 11, 2024 Share Posted August 11, 2024 The Switch version doesn't have that thankfully. It's also not downgraded there or anything because it was the lead platform during development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shared a video of one of the later challenges and it was like a slideshow. This is a fantastic game I really need to get back to it. Got distracted by some other shiney new release and keep forgetting about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 12, 2024 Share Posted August 12, 2024 I'm also not sure how many more times my Switch will get picked up in its life, it's certainly not where I want to play games at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
