Im getting ready to fight the final DLC boss on awakened puppet difficulty. Only difference from legendary stalker is you take 25% less damage.

First time I did the Old Hunters was just on NG+ and I vowed to never run a DLC beyond NG for the first run again

Why would I do that?

This was the first souls borne game I got burnt out on because it felt like they just made things janky as the challenge instead of dynamic gameplay based on the initial reactions online it sounds like they're continuing down that same path

When the game first dropped, it was broken and out of balance. I beat it on the OG difficulty but didn't have fun. They nerfed a lot of things after and it made the game much more enjoyable. But, the DLC is back to the OG feel and it's just annoying.

Yea I didn't really have fun playing it or grinding for levels at all like I did with Sekiro and Elden Ring


shyt felt soulless no pun intended


The stalkers and the black rabbit brotherhood were the most interesting parts of that whole game to me, woulda been dope to have a DLC just running around with them getting into shyt

Going from Khazan to this, I gotta say, the combat feels primitive.

Edit just left the zoo, this is as good as the main game so far.

After playing a few hours post patch (legendary stalker) I think the DLC is still hard but it’s fair.

I am by no means great at these games but I’m good enough. And I thought pre-patch was absolutely ridiculous.

I saw a few people on Reddit saying they cruised through the pre patch dlc on ng+8 or whatever and never died. They are either lying or they are absolutely amazing players and more power to em.

Anyway, if anyone was on the fence about getting the DLC I would say you’re good to go now. It’s consistent with the base game.

This is an extremely bare bones (but good) souls-like game....but I feel like "Khazan" is worse than this.

There's only really 3 builds, and every weapon (in each category I mean) plays exactly the same. In 2025 that's insane. Also the over reliance on the parry mechanic is silly. "Dark Souls" came out 14 years ago and you could do a parry build, magic build, heavy armor, dual wield, etc.

I played a bit and I agree.

I just now started playing the Khazan demo. I didn't care for it much at first because it felt like more of a Nioh rip off without the stamina preservation mechanic at first given how you end up gasping for air and vulnerable when you attack with no stamina left. It started clicking once I started using the parry mechanic the way the game intended. The parry window is definitely more lenient than Lies of P. I'll cop the full game later this week.

Just beat the main game. Now off to Overture.

I don't get the parry criticism for Khazan, dodge is probably more viable in Khazan than Lies of P or Sekiro. Did you beat the game? If not, you'd see how offensive you can be from around the second half on.

When I say primitive combat, I don't mean build options, I mean slow paced combat where you take turns. Khazans combat is more fast paced and dynamic than this or DS1. I get that this is more of an adventure game than an action game, but it did stand out playing this after Khazan.

Just beat the lab yesterday and I do like the DLC though, quality is up there with the base game so far.

Something about overture is not clicking for me
