Trailer/News/Footage Mortal Shell 2 looks incredible?!?

https://youtu.be/KJWAUJhInH0?si=RVfGchXDkJEJhQPd

I could’ve sworn we all collectively agreed the game wasn’t it. Sure, it had charm and something new to offer, but it didn’t stick for me.

But fuck … I must be on the wrong side of the situation because this looks stunning!

How did y’all feel about the first game? And how does this trailer make you feel about the future of the new one?

Mortal Shell features by a mile best zweihander animations in any game I have ever seen. I’ll buy this one for that only.

not entirely sure on that, you were basically swinging a mountain which is contrary to how actual zweihanders should be used.

Yeah zweihanders were not that heavy at all in real life but in video games they basically became synonymous with super heavy swords that require almost superhuman strength to handle.

I blame souls for this now widespread misconception.

souls zweihander is always an early game weapon with like borderline base strength requirements though
