    Is anyone able to make the last hoop jump? I tried for literally HOURS earlier and couldn't land the jump...

    I'm assuming that's where you get some cake, but I'm not sure...

    Hoop jump... Did I miss something? Doesn't sound familiar, and I got all 3 pieces.

    Yes and no. Finished it yesterday. The hoops only give you skins. You jump from the jumping board, and for the hardest hoop, you have to jump perfectly, at the very last possible pixel of jumping board you can jump off of, and at the perfect angle to just go forward and not lose momentum. Still took me hours to make the jump lmao...

    The photo mode works in cut scenes, and you can move the camera around to see what other characters are doing. It amazing!

    Never heard of it, what kind of game?

    It's a turn based RPG, but with a more mature focus. Kinda like the old Final Fantasy games (X, pre-remake 7, etc).

    It also has a full Souls-like inspired dodge or parry mechanic, where a skilled player can avoid 100% of enemies attacks. Dodging is easier with a larger input window, parrying is harder but can trigger more skill effects and fully parrying an enemy's combo lets you do a counter attack.

    Finally the game has equitable items that give you passive skills, and using them enough lets the character learn the skill permanently. The end result is incredible build customization of the different characters. The builds get increasingly wild as things go on, with various end game builds that can 1 shot anything, become immortal, etc. Overall it's a very fun and rewarding system to play with.

    To be clear, you get 1 meaningfully decision. All the other 'roleplay' is conversation choices/optional lore conversations.

    In that sense it's more an interactive story with builds and good (IMO) combat.

    That is disappointing. I like RPGs for their freedom. Although 1 meaningful decision is still more than many games offer.

    It's an RPG more in the JRPG sense, so it's not like Baldur's Gate or Dragon Age. The story is very good though, so if you don't like the gameplay I very much recommend watching an LP by someone you find engaging. It's not like Undertale where being the player meaningfully affects the experience of the narrative.

    It's a thin game with very little story, really mostly a movie with the amount of unstoppable cutscene. Some light turn based combat that they threw twitch-mechanics in (quick time event) and not much else

    Very pretty graphics though

    Does this actually work on the deck?

    That review wouldn't include the performance improvements from this brand new patch.

    I played the game months ago, and found it very enjoyable. I did install an alternative ue-engine.ini file that reduced some of the particles and massively improved performance though. Without the engine tweaks it was perfectly playable but ugly.

    Didn't test the latest patch, but previously I was able to run it 1080p lowest settings. Played fine but didn't look great obviously.
    Didn't try handheld mode, so maybe it looks fine on the deck screen

    It's best played at absurd frame rates to make sure you can hit the fairly narrow parry windows. On the deck, it can sit around 30 fps, I often find my parries get miseed. To make it worse your frames tend to drop when enemies attack. Some areas are just straight up unplayable like The Crows, which isn't even a large space.

    People on here like to shit on tga for whatever reason; but I like to use it as a way to check out games I would have otherwise missed.

    KCD2 was the only game on the GOTY list not on my radar. I picked it up a few weeks ago as a result and have been absolutely loving it

    Finally. No more waiting around to die to reset the fight when you mess up.
