    Such a disappointment. I was starting to look forward to grabbing it on PS5 but I’ll probably pass. I missed the boat on the first one anyway.

      You can still play the first one, dark arisen is also currently in the second tier of PS+ and worth to at least look at :)

      It’s excellent and the microtransactions are literally pointless cash grabs added in after development.

      I’m about 20 hours in, having an absolute blast with probably my most enjoyed RPG in years, and I literally have too many of every item in the cash store except one that I know I’ll eventually have quite enough of too, especially on what’s a certain NG+ for me.

      The game itself is outstanding. The protest against CAPCOM throwing BS into single player games is warranted, but if you like action RPGs don’t accidentally cut off your nose in spite by passing on a gem of a game with a greedy publisher.

      There’s literally not anything in the store you should buy and doing so will reduce your enjoyment of the game rather than enhance it. It’s the opposite of Ubisoft where gameplay pacing is designed with things like XP boosts in mind.

      The store is simply there to trick whales and suckers as an afterthought, and those who do purchase certain items will harm their gameplay loops.

        it doesnt matter if the microtransaction is a cash grab. Its a waste of time puting it in a game. Might as well spend all that time optimizing the game.
