I have been following this F2P game for awhile and I was curious if anybody else is excited for this game. Now they have a pre- order on the PS Store but it is just for cosmetics. This gmae has been out in China for a year and supposedly it is not play to win you only pay for cosmetics. It looks fun to me. It has two modes a solo offline story mode and an online mode where you can do pvp , guilds and clans etc..

Here are a couple of reviews of the Chinese version of the game


It drops on November 14.
Here's a video on co-op gameplay
 
They dropped a new trailer:

Can't wait for this game to drop
 
Okay so I downloaded the game on Friday and I have been able to get about 5-7 hours in. Let me start with the bad parts of the game:
The character creation on the PS5 is not good. I originally made a bald headed character but I couldn't get the skin tone to match. I spent about 20 minutes messing around with that and even after I changed the hairstyle my character had the bald head. I was able to correct that later on though. Next I found out that you could change the skin tone through the makeup section but that is bugged and the devs are supposed to be working on it.
The menus are complicated and throw a lot of information at you. At 1st I was overwhelmed but I am starting to to understand them. Still convoluted though.
On the PS5 the graphics are good for the most part but I have seen some NPCs that look bad
The localization is not good. The lip sync is off pretty for the English version so I switched to Chinese audio with English subtitles
Also the camera tracking can be bad if you don't use autolock. I have tried to attack an on screen enemy but I end attack an off screen enemy. I feel the camera can be pulled back just a little bit when fighting multiple enemies.
Okay now on to the good stuff
The combat is pretty good. I am playing on story mode so it is easy and you get a generous parry window.
The weapons that I have used so far feel varied. I love the special movesets they have for each weapon. One of my favorites is with the umbrella where throw it in the air and it shoots projectiles at your enemy and you use you secondary weapon to attack at the same time.
The boss fights I have done have been fun
There are a lot of sidequests
This is not pay to win. They have cosmetics and you can buy currency but it is only used to buy cosmetics. Some of the cosmetics are very expensive but that doesn't bother me. Story is okay.
Overall I am enjoying the game. The progression is good and not gate locked. I would recommend the game very highly.
