Before I start, I DO like this game, but that comes with some caveats. Mainly the clear and overwhelming lack of testing prior to the game's launch.

I'm genuinely convinced From Software don't have a QA department, or even know what QA is.

The game is littered with constant bugs and issues.

- Abilities queuing and sometimes going off immediately after respawn if used before death.
- Icons on the compass disappear and reappear randomly, making navigation a real pain in the ass.
- Locking onto enemies is painfully inconsistent. Why is it locking onto a random enemy 200m away, OUTSIDE of the circle, when I'm clearly trying to target an enemy immediately in front of me. Not to mention you have about a 50% chance of the auto-target just turning itself off mid-fight.
- Closing the game via the game menu isn't guaranteed to close the game properly, and now I've racked up 24 hours playtime on a game that WASN'T EVEN RUNNING!!!!

Also the claim that "You can change your name at any time" is a complete lie. Character name changes are currently NOT possible.

I would list more bugs, but you clearly don't pay a team to do that for you, and I'm sure as ♥♥♥♥ not doing it for free.

Step 1. Open no handtraps
Step 2. Wait 20 minutes for your opponent to cycle through 30+ cards to make a board with multiple negates.
Step 3. Lose, repeat

Also when you uninstall, the game leaves behind ALL of the "downloaded data" that you have to manually download.
Surprising that the TCG with the LAZIEST R&D department have also managed to employ some of the laziest developers they could find too!

Yeah the concept is good but its just full to the brim with bugs.
NPCs clipping through walls.
Invisible NPCs.
Accidentally aggroing random NPCs because your character swings his arm a full 360 when trying to punch.
There is also ZERO way to manually see your HP/Hunger/Sleep bars you either have to wait for it to appear on your screen for seemingly no reason, or just die out of nowhere.

QoL was not something the devs ever thought about.

TLDR - It's a poorly coded, mild inconvenience simulator. It's beyond pointless.

Egg is egg, I see egg I click egg.


Egg.

Game is decent, but it's the LAZIEST implementation of enemy AI I think I've ever seen...
Enemies just walk between 2 fixed points per objective unless distracted, and then they teleport to camp the exit when you're done with the Trial. Get's to the point where it's really not fun to play against.

Update: Game is getting buggier by the day. Freezing in place when getting out of hiding places. Being hit from miles away and sometimes through solid walls by enemies that couldn't possibly have reached you.

It's getting boring.

But I'll probably keep playing it.

Took me over 12 hours for my first win...
Great game!

As long as Sony are making even a cent from this game, it cannot be recommended.

Possibly the buggiest piece of garbage I've played in a while.
Getting shot by AI walking backwards around corners.
AI T-posing while actively shooting at you.
AI randomly reincarnating and shooting you, despite you already having taken their weapon as evidence.
Player models disappearing and reappearing at random.

Bring the early access tag back... This isn't finished

That doesn't mean it isn't fun.
It's just also a steaming pile of garbage

Really gave me the opportunity to be funny now... but maybe I'll just have to deal with being funny later. :'(

Probably one of the least intuitive pieces of software I've ever used...
