After deciding to refund Cyberpunk I picked up Jedi Fallen Order. Having never played a Souls-like game I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. Up to this point the closest game I could say I've played would be Darksiders 3 but even that I had set to classic Darksiders combat. Jedi Fallen Order certainly isn't a perfect game but I quite enjoyed it. I am under the assumption, and someone can feel free to correct me, that it lacks the sort of fluidity and polish of a Dark Souls game. That being said I enjoyed the combat and the story.
Having completed it I now feel like giving Sekiro a shot. Even though I've stayed away from Dark Souls I've played my fair share of difficult games over the years and Sekiro seems to be more up my alley.
I also just wrapped up my first run through Nier Automata and I am supremely disappointed in the game. I understand that the game requires multiple play throughs for the full story/ending but I can't say I am actually invested in the story after 16 hours. Normally that wouldn't be a big sticking point with great gameplay and Platinum games has a pedigree for creating excellent spectacle fighters. The combat in Nier is so boring though. I am actually surprised at how mediocre both the combat and enemy designs are in the game. I am willing to admit that this game is probably not for me but I found it super easy and not overly compelling. I am not sure I'll bother running through the remaining routes.
