    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.

Yes souls game has story too but wo long is so dar different making the boss worth to be beaten just to know our next journey at least that’s for me. In short one of the best story game ever with soulslike difficulty-ish and fast paced combat also for xbox and windows GAMEPASS.… Expand

    I approached it with care because I'm not usually good at games that have deflecting as their core combat mechanics. 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.

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. But don’t worry - the game’s parry system makes it easy to defend yourself against even the toughest enemies.

    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.

    Another masterpiece from Team Ninja, best game since Elden Ring.

    Do yourself a favor, no reinforcements and dismiss all Co-op bots at the start of each level (willow branch item) otherwise its super easy and no fun to play.

    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.

    Let's get real here. One should not compare all games to Elden Ring / Souls games but this game is literally just proof of how better Elden Ring is to so many other games. All the little things like level design, loot, mood, flow of combat just feel a little off here.

    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

    - level design is bland and uninspired, with little in way of worldbuilding or sense of discovery
    - there's a lot of loot and RPG mechanics, but most of it feels meaningless, with little impact on gameplay (no matter your build & gear it's a parry-counter game)
    -game's cleary made on a smaller budget: production values, enemy variety, weapon/armor/gear & environmental design all suffer
    - 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

    It's still fun and exciting at times to fight in Wo Long but after Nioh 1 & 2 I expected much more from Team Ninja... and honestly can't they hire a good writer to tell a decent story?    … Expand

    Poor copy. I had to tweak my tv to get the timings right on the tutorial boss. Then I slaughtered the next four or six until I got to one that didn't telegraph well and took up the whole map. Then there was the clone boss who was just boring and exhaustingly long. No thanks, I'd rather replay elden ring using my toes.

    This game is doodoo butter can devs stop making garbage souls games? Like seriously this trend needs to stop. The game feels gummy and clunky but at least there's no stamina bar. The first boss is unecessarily overpowered. Don't listen to these paid positive reviews give the game a try on gamepass if you got gamepass but I do not recommend this game at all.

    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.
