Obviously a little late on this one, but wanted it since launch so I picked it up with all the DLC. I've gotten to NG+11 on Dark Souls 3 but haven't beaten any other fromsoft game, so I was very excited to see how I'll fare on this one.

I'm enjoying it so far, have about 20 hours on my save and beat Margit around hour 11 (27 deaths). Currently working my way up to Liurnia academy. Took me a little bit to warm up to the open world + crafting... And honestly I'm still not totally sold on it, I think I'm reaching a point of open world fatigue. I love the freedom it provides in games but I do miss more linear experiences some days.

That's all my thoughts so far. I love FromSoft games even if I've only beaten one, so I'm not surprised that I'm enjoying this.

Okay so I wasn't exactly rushing out to buy this one when it launched, but a few months on and I saw it on sale.

You know what? This isn't half bad. Yes it's not running as well as I'd like on Steamdeck (which is more of a Me problem than anything), but 4-5 hours in and the game is doing a tremendous job of transporting me into the wizarding world.

Wandplay feels great, the cutscenes are beautifully animated and the music takes me right back to 2004 when I went to see Chamber of Secrets at the cinema.

Again. I'm only a few hours in, so maybe it completely falls on it's ass, but right now I'm super impressed with what I'm seeing.

Hey.

Firstly, I just wanted to say a big thank you for showing some interest in this little community, and the wider feddit.uk instance as a whole. I truly believe that we've got something amazing in the oven here, and with enough support we can do something amazing with lemmy, feddit.uk and maybe even this silly little community.

Secondly, I'd like to take a moment to explain what this community is. Don't worry, I'll keep it short.

Here goes. Currently Playing is a community about the games we're playing. It could be a game that released 10 years ago, or maybe a game that released 10 minutes ago. The only criteria we have is that it's a game you're playing, and have something to say about. Something positive, maybe something negative, heck maybe you're not interested in commenting on the game at all, and just want an excuse to talk about how the game handles the breakdown of workers rights in this late-stage-capitalist-hellscape?

So there we have it.
