    Nioh meets Sekiro is this challenging masterpiece. If you beat Sekiro you’ll likely find this game easier, though still challenging. The game plays faster than Soulsbourne games Whois a bonus for me. 10/10

    Imagine you created Nioh, a great game set in Japan, and you have to create a similar game for China, what do you do? You create a game completely focused on parry, with a huge amount of loot with meaningless statuses and the hardest first boss possible.

I knew beforehand that it was a good game and decided to see how I adapted to it. After some tries, I learned the mechanics with the first boss and then found myself progressing quite consistently. Wo Long is an extremely balanced and satisfying game, and the combat is where it shines. In terms of graphics it looks a bit dated but I didn't think that negatively affected my experience. It took me a while to understand what did the morale system really do, but after I let that sink in, it made the exploration before engaging with a boss so much more rewarding. In this game you deflect a critical attack the same way you deflect a normal attack. Unlike Sekiro where you have specific types of deflects for different types of criticals, Wo Long makes things easier to handle. Wo Long is by no means an easy game but with some persistence and mapping the enemy moveset, with tinkering with gear and leveling up your character, and by placing the flags on each battleground, the gameplay flows really good, albeit still challenging. The mobs tend to be a bit more of the same but what could be considered a negative is also an advantage as you have many more opportunities to learn individual movesets and therefore adapting your playstyle. It's a great game, it doesn't try to be anything else than what's intended, it has soul and honesty put into it. Recommended.… Expand

    As someone who already loved both Nioh games, I also love Wo Long. The combat is so much fun. Also the first game I have fun deflecting attacks. The game may look pretty outdated and a lot of the bosses aren't as good or as fun to fight as in other Souls-likes, but all in all it's an amazing game.

    Buen juego y muy divertido en cuanto a jugabilidad se refiere. El sistema de esquive es muy satisfactorio y presenta un reto muy balanceado en su dificultad. Para ponerle una pega, lo juego en Xbox series S, y si hay ciertos momentos en que la resolución cae bastante, de lo demás corre muy fluido el gameplay que es lo que importa.

    Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is an incredibly engaging game that offers players a unique and challenging experience. The game’s bosses are some of the most difficult you’ll encounter in any action game, and defeating them requires skill, strategy, and quick reflexes.

    One of the things that sets Wo Long Fallen Dynasty apart from other games in its genre is its attention to detail. Every aspect of the game - from the graphics to the sound design - has been carefully crafted to create an immersive and unforgettable experience. Whether you’re exploring the game’s vast open world or battling your way through hordes of enemies, you’ll be constantly amazed by the level of detail and polish that has gone into every aspect of this game.

    Overall, I would highly recommend Wo Long Fallen Dynasty to anyone who enjoys action games with a lot of depth and challenge. It’s a truly remarkable achievement in gaming, and one that deserves to be experienced by as many people as possible.    … Expand

    Una maravilla. Me gustó tanto que lo empecé el viernes que salió y lo acabé el domingo. Luego lo jugué en la dificultad más difícil y lo disfruté muchísimo más. En su día dejé los nioh por su dificultad, pero tras jugar a este los he retomado. He acabado el primero y ahora voy por el segundo. Son muy buenos, pero el wo long no tiene nada que envidiarles.

    Um dos melhores SoulsLike que já joguei na minha vida. O game possui uma mecanica de gameplay meio chata porem é fácil de aprender, basta ter um bom reflexo. Historia maravilhosa( diferente de Elden Ring que não tem historia) e com personagens cativantes. Resumindo game perfeito e melhor ainda, lançado no GAMEPASS melhor serviço de games da atualidade.

    Great game to play while waiting for the Shadow of the Erdtree. Most importantly - the game is really fun to play. The bosses might be not as fun as GIYOBU ... MASATAKA ... ONIWA, but still pretty decent and - again - fun to play. If you liked Sekiro - definitely worth playing.

    The gameplay loop gets boring and repetitive fast. With really meh levels the game starts to feel like a chore to just find the next checkpoints in the level and grind enough to overpower the next boss. Also the loot feels boring, just a few different weapon types that feel meh just like in Nioh.

    This game forces you to use the parry mechanic to make fights easier but lacks the finesse of Sekiro. Parrying feels more like a chore and a quick time event than a dance between warriors. The flow of combat is made worse by the unintuitive ways you can really easily get stunned by mistakes. The difficulty feels artificial rather than challenging and fair. Also random.

    Redeeming factors are the graphics which are nice and the variety in character customisation. Good thing the game is on Game Pass because I've felt disappointed paying big bucks for this. Still, if you're looking something fresh to scratch the soulslike itch this is the best we've got right now.

    On the performance side, the game runs totally fine but has fps drops in cutscenes for some reason.    … Expand

    - halfway through the only reason to keep playing are the bosses - exploration becomes boring and combat extremely repetitive because you're fighting the same rehashed enemies over & over again

    Incredibly poor game design. The entire game is gatekept by a single, reflex related ability - deflect. If you cannot get the deflect down you can not progress out of the tutorial. If it was just defeating a single phase boss, fine. But to have two phases that rely on reflexes ONLY is a really, really poor game design choice.

But to have two phases that rely on reflexes ONLY is a really, really poor game design choice. The only reason why it is not receiving a 1 from me is that it was made available on Game Pass so at least all I was out was time and space on my SSD.

    I was able to get to the second phase multiple times but the pace of the deflects changes drastically. Also the deflect window is inconsistent and the hit boxes for the first boss are obscene, making any dodging impossible. The same is true of the second phase. If it were a single phase I could understand it.

    After beating the first and second boss, the game really relaxes and is more fun to play, However I am retaining the original score, despite beating the game. It was very poorly designed in many respects which is a shame because once it relaxes the game play becomes fun. The story is very poorly voice acted, the music is either very similar to or exactly the same as Nioh, the stats on equipment and weapons are practically meaningless in their randomness, etc. Just a badly designed game. Add to that the technical issues with the game when I am literally pounding on button with a positive Qi state and the game refuses to let me heal. I could dodge, deflect, etc. but no healing. The stealth is also broken. I have 40 pints in water so my stealth is very high and when I slowly approach mobs some will randomly become aware of me or it won't, randomly, register the the stealth fatal strike key press. Lastly, in one of the big final cut scenes, it freezes, pops up the very start screen with the nameless warrior, so I got to listen to it but not view it. Just technical mess on series X using performance.

The multi-billion dollar business has no obligation to provide valid evidence for something so permanent as a PERMAMENT SUSPENSION FROM ACCESSING ANY OF YOUR PAID FOR CONTENT ON THEIR SYSTEM?!?! The thing is...you CANT leave any real hateful comments and cuss words in reviews or XBOX doesn't even even save them, just blanks it out like you didn't type anything at all. Also I would've never said anything that warrants this kind of permament suspension, at worst I was talking crap on EAs Sims 4 predatory gaming practices of cutting a main game up and selling it to you in 20-$40 "game & expansion packs". So the suspension is complete BS, groups of circle jerks can get together and report something you typed as offensive and it auto-bans you and some lame gamer on a power-trip volunteering for their "ambassador" program (more circle jerks with fragile egos) reviews the ban and appeal. Boycott Xbox, they don't deserve your money with their "woke" parenting of even the lamest of things like GAME REVIEWS. I literally cant even sign into my account to access offline content, its ALL GONE thanks to an Abusive system MS lets auto-handle, the first miss steps of "AI". Buyers BEWARE.… Expand

    Wo Long is a really fun well made game. The environments aren't the most exciting and the story didn't pull me in but I really enjoyed working through its challenges and learning how to overcome the bosses.

    Wo Long is a very entertaining game with a clumsy execution. It's funny because it works flawlessly at times, but when it doesn't, it's awkward and heavily frustrating.

    Wo Long's story is extremely forgettable and its presentation is... uh... bad, to put it simple. Also, I played it on Series S and by god that console struggled to deal with the most simples things. Nevertheless, the    Wo Long is a very entertaining game with a clumsy execution.

    Wo Long's story is extremely forgettable and its presentation is... uh... bad, to put it simple.
    Also, I played it on Series S and by god that console struggled to deal with the most simples things. Nevertheless, the game is ugly and its environments are sort of repetitive. Without interesting characters and an engaging tale to keep you hooked, fun factor was foun in other things.

    While the environments are dull, the level design can be pretty clever sometimes, with some main missions and sidquests being very well structured. I'm a sucker for shortcuts and hidden places and Wo Long is filled with them. It all comes to a full circle by the end of a level, as long as you don't miss out on anything.

    Characters are very bland, but the way they help you during combat and their design is just really nice. Hero or villain, they look cool as **** Hell, even the armors and weapons you get look super slick. The Divine Beasts are impressive as well but, unfortunately, not all of them are very useful. Monsters and bosses look nice too, but variety is UTTERLY low, killing the element of surprise.

    But where Wo Long shines (and sometimes falters) the most is in its combat. I'm going to make the obvious comparison because there's no other way around it: this game tried to be Sekiro. Sometimes it nailed it, but sometimes it failed.

    Fighting styles are sharp, every weapon is useful and has its own perks and strenghts, your character is highly customizable, learning damage partterns from enemies and bosses can be extremely fun, most spells are pretty sick and I loved the different kinds of martial arts you learn. This is where more than half of the fun in Wo Long lies and, like I said, when it works, it's amazing.

    The problem is, it lacks a certain level of polishment, I think. From enemy placement to boss fights. In fact, ESPECIALLY in boss fights! This game really knocked it out of the park with bosses like the final one, Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo and Zhang Liang. Then completely dropped the ball with others like Aoye, Zhang Rang, Liu Bei and that weird demonic dragon. It is fun, yes, but also absolutely inconsistent.

    I also feel like Koei keeps repeating the same mistakes since the first Nioh. An unnecessary amount of repetitive loot, too many systems and mechanics that could totally be cut from the game, the morale system can be quite inconvenient and the game feels bloated. The side quests aren't that good and rewarding as they can be very repetitive sometimes. So why keep it going for so long?

    It may seem like Wo Long is a bad game from everything I wrote, but it's not. It's just... complicated. It is also a game that made me appreciate Sekiro even more, for inspiring more fun parry based combat systems like this, but also for how well it executed its original intricate formula.

    If you're a fan of games like that, then do give it a go. Just do not expect anything near perfection.    … Expand

    Wo long: Fallen Dynasty это добротный подражатель souls like жанра. Разворачивающийся в древнем Китае с вкреплением фэнтези.

    Terrible controls and camera, every time you release the joystick, the camera will move a certain. The scene is repeated in this game, and the level design is very boring.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Un gioco in cui il gameplay la fa da padrona. Stile Sekiro, riesce a differenziarsi con l'ottimo sistema di Spirito. Boss ben differenziati e qualcuno di questi mi ha fatto divertire parecchio. Lo consiglio vivamente, soprattutto ai nostalgici del titolo nipponico di From Software.

    Red dot flashes - Time to deflect. That sums the game up. It is a poor version of Sekiro and a slap on the face of Nioh2.

    It's a fun game - for about 10 hours.

    Mechanics are horrible. No option to change running option from l3 on controller. I can feel the l3 on pain on my thumb and a wearing controller. In a fast paced game you have no options to change the controls which could have been done better like nioh. They did no do that or give that option as they did not want it to look like a copy paste.

    No warehouse options, magic is weak and spells last a few seconds. Moral system of the game is busted. Everytime a new chapter begins they want you to fight the common enemies first. It's their way of saying you cannot rush to the boss.

    Flashy redights become an eyesore, constant companion system takes away fun from the game, spells are a lesser version of earlier games, weapons are not 10 or 12 but essentially around 6 with the rest having same movements.

    It deserves a half price- about 30 dollars which is the worth. Invasion sucks with no rewards and a unbalanced system. Online co-op takes ages to summon as I think they have grouped players into timezones. For a new game the co-op is resting or just waiting. No options to change or select which chapter I want to co-op in. No storehouse, No new spells unless Earth is your spells to choose.

    Bosses are forgettable except Lu Bu. It seems a copy and paste of years of junk collected.. No intricate mechanics to adjust or reshape your character traits like nioh2. It's a kiddy game where your weapon, attire, spells actually don't matter. Just deflect and press square... and keep pressing on that l3 button till your thumbs go numb.

    Wait for a sale and enjoy the game. You will get bored quickly. It's fun but not for the price it is sold at.

    Lastly I am seeing a pattern in most famous souls like you tubers. They have started hiding from genuine feedback to there subscribers. Most of these guys has jobs and now have become full time you tubers. They are just pushing content now. Not a single honest opinion or feedback from any tuber about the drawbacks of the game.

    I still thank Team Ninja for giving a free Demo so we could decide to buy. Us souls players are gullible for games like these whether good or bad. But it won't last long if it continues in this direction...

    Godspeed to All...    … Expand

    Wo Long Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition is a cruel and challenging souls-like experience. However, it is more forgiving than its peers. As such, this could be a great place to start for newbies. Alongside this, it is as good alone as it is with other gamers.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty stakes everything on its combat system, a fascinating setting, and excellent game structure. However, the game remains hampered by an underwhelming technical realization and balancing problems. Still, these minor flaws do not prevent it from offering a viable option for all gamers looking for a spectacular action game.

    The latest game by Team Ninja may not be a full fledged AAA title by today’s standards, but it throws everything it has into the gameplay and the final result can easily take us back to the good old days of Ninja Gaiden games. The future looks bright for Team Ninja and I’m super excited for their upcoming game, Rise of the Ronin.
