@danjin44 Yes please.

I’m curious to know if EZA received any review copy for Astral Chain and if they did why we haven’t seen any preview from them?
-
@danjin44 I think Ben is reviewing it maybe.

Reviews are out.
88/100 on Metacritic

The reviews is looking good!
I guess EZA didn't got the review copy for this game.
-
@danjin44 They very likely did, it is not too uncommon for them to be late with the reviews.

EZA have generally gotten Nintendo games late ever since Damiani gave Breath of the wild a 4 and a half stars :P. It's great to see Astral Chain getting good reviews. Now we can get Bayonetta 3 news.

Had to cancel my order, got a 120mph issue barreling towards my state, so that takes a higher priority
-
@dmcmaster Oddly same reason I just made sure mine was preordered and preloaded digitally, so I can hunker down with it while the power is potentially out, but I understand. Stay safe dude.

Played about 3 hours so far. Probably the best first 3 hours in a game iv had in a long time

Potential spoilers through Case 3 below:
I wish the beginning of the game had a bit more buildup before you become "the one", but I understand they want to unlock your full combat potential as soon as possible. With where the story is right now, I have no idea when I'm going to be throwing away trash in the Lappy costume like the end of the first trailer. Also, holy shit Case 3 just kept going and going and going. I guess since they're called Cases they don't want to end them until you return from the field, but they should've found a better way to pace it or at least trimmed the beginning of it out into it's own thing. Anyone else really bad at counter slashes? The thread I'm supposed to cut always gets like obscured by the rest of the enemy and even when I succeed at it, feels like a fluke. So far I've been getting grades all of the place, and there's times I thought I had a great fight and get a C and times I thought I was awful and get S+, so guess I'm still figuring out what the game wants from me. Also, this game has stellar secrets. I've been meticulous and still reach a Case end and see I missed a ton of items.

@mbun use focus to slow down time for the slashes. Takes some practice
-
Apparently the person who reviewed the game for The Independent didn't actually play the game
-
@bigdude1 The slow down doesn't even help me, just makes my Legion run out faster.
