So... what makes this game so 'SPECIAL', that is had at it's peak 2,223,179 player playing?!

I have ZERO desire to see it, play it, watch any video about it.

But it keeps popping out in news streams...

Biggest AAA game coming from China, with Chinese mythology involved. China is the biggest market on Steam.

Obvious answer is that it’s a Chinese game and China is a huge, huge market. And they are psychotically patriotic and will buy it no matter what and call it GOTY.

The devs refusing to bow down to journalists also helped their cause in the west here where we are sick of this crap.

I’m intrigued but waiting for the China smokescreen to die down

I mean, if you try to look at it without any bias: This is a very nice looking (although apparently not well running) game with a Soulslike formula and a rather unique setting. This is a huge market, especially considering summer drought for AAA releases.

I think many countries are like this. Its the same with Norwegian games here. They can be shite and get 7-10/10 easily here.

China...

So it's a failure of a game, then!

Only 2 million players out of 1.4 billion people...

It runs at either 30 fps or subpar 40 fps in other modes..

That being said, the game looks terrible in performance mode. Skipping it, will wait for PS5 Pro update Laughing

Isn’t this the case for pretty much every “fidelity” mode on ps5? I feel like we’ve known limitations of ps5 since launch.. Demons Souls remake was amazing graphically but fidelity mode is a slideshow

Too bad about performance mode looking like shit.. Demons Souls definitely didn’t have that issue

I've killed three bosses and so far it's not as difficult as Sekiro, but it's also not very comparable.
Sekiro is a timing based parry game, this one is more of a fast paced souls-like combat but with some additional mechanics.
Though I am still very early in the game so there might come Sekiro-like mechanics...

Either way, I don't think it'll be as difficult as Sekiro.
It's definitely more difficult than Elden Ring though.

Sekiro really is unbeatable unless you actually learn and get good at the mechanics.
You can brute force your way through a couple bosses, but eventually you will get stuck unless you learn it.
With this one, at least thus far it's been pretty smooth sailing for me, but I'm probably not the best baseline since I've gotten very far in Nioh 2 at the end game difficulty (underworld) and that one is fucking brutal.


Did you summon mimics for Elden Ring? Elden Ring is far more challenging if you solo it like you have to solo Sekiro. And NO CHEESE BUILDS! Laughing

Indeed but it has a (useless) balanced mode too, and as you said, some games performance mode is nowhere near as bad as this game in term of downgrade. Demons Souls is a good example.

It's inspired by journey to the west, it's very popular legend in Asia it's partly the reasons the game sells like hotdogs.

its not, demons remake looks great, in some spots it really looks amazing, sharp asf. and ps5 doesnt really have so many mind-blowing looking games tbh.
