@Ralek85 Oooh huge fan of SMT myself ! I'm waiting for news about SMT V like crazy ! Resonance of fate was good for what I remembered (which is not a lot haha). TMS#FE is really nice, and a change of pace compared to the dark theme of SMT (I know some where waiting for it to be more like a FE game and were disappointed in it, but it was not my case as I was really waiting a "cute" SMT). Yeah, persona 1 and 2 were on the darker side (I remember mostly persona 2, and persona 1 left a salty taste with this snow queen quest haha).

True, the demo for FF was easy, I'm hoping for other difficulty than "normal" but like you said, maybe the difficulty will pick up later in the game ! I'm mostly attached to FF 7 by nostalgia, like some other, but the FF series is one I like. But like you, I'm more attached to series like SMT, persona, Dark Souls, Zelda (of course !). If you like Atlus game, did you try the Etrian Odyssey series on the DS and 3DS? If you are into dungeon crawler, you have to try it ! It can be pretty hard and demanding, you draw your own map (my favorite thing <3), compose your own party with a lot of different class... It is not really story-driven (the plot is always something like "see this big legendary tree ? Please, go at the top") but there is enough NPC and quests to keep the interest fresh. And I know it is not really the same, but if pixel art doesn't bother you, try Blasphemous (a pixelated goodness heavily inspired by Dark souls): it's in 2D, has a bit of plateforming (less than game like Hollow Knight but a bit), has cool combat and bosses, a rich lore, a lot of secrets... and is on the dark and heavy side !

Thank you for the explanation on Nioh 2, it was really helpful ! I'm grateful that parrying is not a big thing haha I really liked it in Sekiro because it was a huge part of the gameplay, and easy enough for me, but in game like Dark souls or' Bloodborne, I could parry one time out of ten and more often than not the result was an ugly death... I'm more of a dodge-to-live player in the classic soulsborne !

I found Sekiro easier than Dark souls or Blooborne or Nioh, I don't really know why (maybe because it is fast paced, a lot of my friends find Sekiro a lot more harder than the souls, and if they were champion at parrying in dark soul, they were garbage in Sekiro, again probably because of the more "quick" gameplay of Sekiro)

Yeah, in Nioh 1 there was a lot of reference to historical characters, I guessed it will be the same in Nioh 2 and you just confirmed it ! Unfortunately, I don't have an access to psn (maybe some day!) but I will gladly hit you up ! I will also invite you on switch if you want ? Sasuna's the name on my Nintendo account, expect an invitation from me

@Ralek85 Haha same, so much time spent on persona!

I heard there was a lot of new content for ff7, like quests and characters, I'm waiting the reviews to see what's new and how long is this first part (it's only in Midgard I think?). The demo was good and really beautiful too! Barret has no chill, was always screaming at me and I loved every second of it

Ooh is Nioh 2 worth it? I played the first one and I liked it enough (but if we talk about samourai game, I prefer Sekiro, the only "souls" game where I can parry to save my life). Is it harder than the first one? I remember that I did have some trouble with some "mob oni" 👹

In caligula, I liked the combat system at the beginning (you can more or less see the impact of your attacks and prepare the attacks of your others characters in consequence) but when there is a enemy at every corner, every battle against every weak enemy is too long (especially when you know you can destroy them in one hit). But it's not the baddest game outside, just meh

Culdcept is really good, I liked it a lot, it's like the weird child between a board game and a card game (it was my first game of this genre and I had a good time with it)

@Ralek85 Caligula effect is not bas but not good ever. The combat system is cool for the first few minutes, but understand that you have many encounters and the system make all of them sooo long. In the end, I was just running away most of the time.

The story is not bad, but not stellar, and if it doesn't pick your curiosity then you are doomed.
The relationship are interesting to develop if your interested in the backstory of the characters, and some are good
The graphics are not bad, but don't buy this game for it
The dungeons are boring and tedious because of the combat system which make every battle too long: this system should have been a gimmick for boss battles

I did finish the game, but I forced myself for the last hours, and I did make it only because I was interested at the story, which disappointed me a little at the end. I will not recommend it at full price, but at half, it can pass the time I guess. Just don't be like me, and don't expect it to be a persona clone

I'm not one to buy a game depending on the graphics but boy does this look ugly. I don't have anything to say that was not already written in the comments but I would like to point that you can't place the name Sephiroth and expect to not be compared to a certain game...
But hey, if someone can change my mind, I would be happy to give this game a try (after a discount or three)
