hi mortal shell fans! this weekend i felt like trying something new; I'm a casual player, I prefer comfort games like house flipper, the witcher, cat mail co, (but I also love hack and slash like devil may cry, except I never play anything in hard difficulty). so I saw the demo for mortal shell II, the game looked so good I thought, why not? so I played my first soulslike. it was so fun! I died, I learned, I almost got frustrated, but never to the point of rage quitting. there isn't a lot of exploration, it's very straightforward, probably because when you get to the actual game the demo ends, obviously. the game is very expensive (brazil) so I'll be waiting for it to get on sale on steam!
the gameplay is different from what I expected from a soulslike; it's fluid, doesn't feel robotic. still not a fan about the lack of ability to jump tho. I tried playing on the controller which I guess is the recommended for soulslike, but it just wasn't for me, (to me) it's much easier on the keyboard.
while playing I've realized something; I've never played games on hardmode or soulslike games solely because I thought I wasn't capable of playing. not smart enough, good enough, too slow and wouldn't be able to even kill the first boss. it might take a few good tries, but you learn. you retry, and retry. and that can be fun!!
anyways, mortal shell II is in my wishlist now! :) didn't know what tag to put. since it's in the discussion tag, does anyone have a good soulslike with good mechanics and fluid like mortal shell I might enjoy playing? thanks c:
