This is my first time playing KofA: RR. i've heard of this game during the ps3 era but never gotten around to playing it so i decided to give it a try wit this remastered. First off, I'm going into this game with all the current updates as of 7/2022. I have a pretty beefy computer but i dont think this game requires one to run well. at 1440p 100 fps cap, No stutter, no framerate issues as of my 13+hrs of playing so far. Gameplay: This game is like any other mmorpg with massive skills and crafting abilities and huge overworld to explore. in my 13hrs of playing so far, I've explored maybe 20% of the continent so far, cratfed some epic gems, crafted some staves(as I'm a spell caster (sage so far)). Travelling is done via moving by foot around the world( if that is what u want), or u can choose fast traveling once you visit a town/dungeon/special location, you can then fast travel to it at any time by using the map and just click on it, this saves alot of time, since the map is huge... The combat flows very smoothly from dodging to spell castings. I'm sure melee combat will have the same smoothness to it. The gameplay is very controller friendly(that is what I'm using). all the mappings of spells and items etc are very well though out. No point in time where I struggle to find my spells to cast or items to use. 1 small grip about gameplay is there is no jumping feature in thsi game - you can only jump at a designated location that has a an arrow marking that allows you to jump or fall. Graphics: Knowing i ever played the original KoA:R, to me Im basing my opinion on the graphics based on this version. Since it is based off the same game engine with minor graphic tweaks here and there, it does feel like a late mid yr 2k game, but that isn't a bad thing. The graphic serves its purpose and present the world well - towns/people/dungeons are very detail and smooth. There is a minor pop in here and there, mostly foliage etc. Overal, 5/5
IF you ever played Bangai-O on Dreamcast, this game feels and plays like it and that is a good thing. I bought this game on sale and its worth the price I paid for. Controlling the ship is very smooth. NO issue with the gameplay or bugs that i've encountered so far. Definitely give this game a shot if you like Bangai-O or any similiar game in this sort of genre
got this game on sale on GOG. glad i bought it as it is a good single player rpg with a nice pawn party system. This game has a pretty good story and gameplay. It got the usual inventory system, skill distributions, but overall, a nice pawn (followerers) system. I view this game like zelda: botd but with leveling system. Also if you enjoy elder scroll and skyrim rpg elements, this game should feel right at home. minus 1 star for the ingame bug below: I enjoy it alot but currently Im having this weird shimmering bloom effect bug during cutscenes. i guess it might have something to do with my "odd" 34' 3440 x 1440 res display paired with nvidia 1080? either way, i'll try to resolve this as the cutscenes in its current state is really is a distraction to my overall enjoyment.
