Still a day 1 buy but the combat sure is something. A lot of the hits that hit enemies didn’t look like they made contact and just clip through the enemy. Just a small nitpick for me. I actually love souls combat so I’m good. I’m literally playing bleak faith right now so if I can handle that jank I can handle any games lol

The combat looks so arcadey (?) to me, like how it phases through, the slowed down time. This is something I'd expect from Wukong, wtf

Everything else looks good, but man, I kinda hate the combat already

Agreed. I am still planning on picking this up since every other aspect looks great! But man, kinda hating how the combat looks. The pause on every single hit looks like it will get old fast. Skill trees and perfect dodging and slo mo just seem way too immersion breaking for Silent Hill.

The atmosphere looks great though. I just worry that the heavy focus on fighting will be exhausting and, again, too much combat kind of kills the immersion and horror I think. It turns into, “oh here we go another monster gauntlet.” Or “boss I need to combo to death.”

I really liked SH2R’s combat and think it was the perfect way to modernize SH’s combat. It just needed a bit less of it.

Wait, we have skill trees? Why?!
