So, I played some more and I hit a point where I encountered about 10 enemies all at once and I caught a creature spawning into thin air, not crawling out of vents but legitimately spawning in thin air, and decided I would try for a refund.
I find the general feedback about the dodge mechanic to be bizarre.
I cannot for the life of me get it to work when there’s more than one ghoul to deal with. Even solo, it barely seems to work. Some people seem to have no issue at all. Maybe it’s broken on Xbox but not PlayStation?
The mechanic as explained seems simple- hold the left stick to one side or another and then alternate to duck and dodge.
It does not seem to reliably work and I wish they had an option to hold the B button and move the sick side to side instead of it being contextual. Just confusing.
A bummer overall. It isn’t awful by any means; Just not what I’m looking for right now. As every game seems to be a service, we’ll see if I find myself at Black Iron in the Spring when the content rollout starts.
