I'll download later and try it out.

I like that it's the first two hours of the game, and that we get to test out the endgame combat system

My critique just that graphics are dodgy at times and 30fps little bit too twitchy, maybe because i can't disable motion blur?
Negative - you can't remap the buttons which is bad for me.

Everything else from great, to bonkers. Opening is 11/10.

Man if they keeps it throughout the game, it will easily be GOTY 2023.

Have you changed from Graphics to Frame rate mode in settings. I think default is Graphics in the demo. Felt smooth to me.

Game is definitely more substance over style which I prefer.

There are frame drops in the exploration mode, I can feel them. Feels like about 40fps or a little lower. My hope is that it's cleaned up in the final version, I can't see them stopping work with no day 1 patch if this is the final version.

If you bought the game already, I say wait. I'm gonna be replaying the intro when the game comes out. But I'm just saying...the opening raises my confidence that this game is a legit GotY contender next to zelda.

I playing on graphics and giving my impressions on that mode.

Combat feels good, my two cent - evade, the button responds are too slowly or evade window is too small to make those constantly. Got hit multiple times when i perfectly fine evaded enemies attacks.

Theres a ring which increases the window to evade.

Evasion felt easy after equipping that ring.

Called the Ring of Timely Focus.

Heard that save file carries over. That’s very good.
