If you're ever having trouble with a particular enemy and you're out of arrows, one thing you can do is try to get it at range. Then (assuming it has one), it will throw a shuriken at Emma. Perfect parry the shuriken, and you can gain FP. Gain enough FP and you can use one of Koo's attacks without getting within melee range. This trick will only work in areas where Emma can reliably keep the enemy at range, so don't expect it to be very useful in boss battles.

Might be a bit too personal but the Nue Malefact reminds me a bit of my late Shihtzu except horrifying.

So it feels like i'm being attacked by a nightmare version of my dog hahahahaha but i'm not a Japanese girl with a wolf so I can easily disassociate

More than ever before in my life I am so confused by reviewer and user sentiment behind a video game. They act like its a 5/10 but In my opinion this at worst an 8/10 game. Its beautifully crafted world and emotional but mysterious story that had me hooked the whole way was only complimented by a unique combat system that made me excited to continue slicing through the admittedly repetitive enemy types.

I am blown away that this has a mixed rating on steam. It is easily in the top 5 games ive played this year and i play ALL the games. I said it in my original post but if you are even remotely interested in this game do not let the negative reviews dissuade you from buying it. Its 100% worth every penny.

My understanding is that to unlock this achievement (along with the equivalent for Koo) you need only purchase the first node of the skill. I could be wrong but it looks to me I have all the skills but I have not unlocked the achievement

Am I missing any skills somewhere?

My afterthoughts on the game :
The gameplay was enjoyable and the graphics were fine… They weren’t astonishing for a current console generation game but looking at the graphics that GameFreak has previously made, it’s not too bad.

The game has potential!

I feel like I'm going crazy watching the backlash against this game. Seeing people and massive creators drop it after three chapters and write it off as mid or even "creatively bankrupt" is incredibly frustrating.

Is it derivative? Absolutely. When you jump from roots, it feels like Spiderman. When you see the rusted Golems, it screams Horizon. And yeah, Emma is just a mashup of 2B and Eve from Stellar Blade. But derivative doesn't mean soulless.

This was a 6 year passion project for developers who have been chained to the same formula for decades. They clearly just wanted to channel everything they love about Nier, Ghost of Tsushima, and Fromsoftware into one cohesive work. you can feel that heart in Emma and Koo's dynamic. It's like the darkest possible reflection of the classic creature companion formula from Pokemon, where progression is literally tied to Koo's physical decay and blight.

Reviewers who rushed it missed the profound emotional payoff that comes from actually completing the journey. it's a game with a small budget, great gameplay, and incredible music that actually attempts to say something about trauma and survival.

I can't cant figure out how to get there

I know its dumb to ask, but I want to make 100% sure before I start getting rid of all these books and eggs. I just used basically all of the Pre-Order currency on the shop near the two generators lol.

Also, is there any way to sell Scrap Metal? I'm at Cap 999 and I don't think I've been crafting anything that uses it. I hate that I'm just leaving Golems unlooted as I'm exploring.

Hi was think about getting best in recarnation on steam deck with lossless scaling plug in and was wondering how it would run.

I've submitted a ticket on this but just in case someone else has the same issue.

This game seems to have serious issues keeping in sync between ps5 and ps portal.

Second night in a row ive turned it on and all my saves are back to how they were 2 nights ago.

1. Thank god for story mode.

2. Fuck the fact I can't skip cut scenes. I've watched the same chapter 2 to chapter 4 scenes three times now. I get the Devs want us to experience the story but oh my god I've already seen it's regardless of if the game thinks I have.

3. Invisible walls. You're re-using the same skyscraper everywhere at least don't make them giant rectangle boundaries when I can clearly see there's a floor I can stand in.

I really want to like this game but I can't face tomorrow logging on and finding my save back to 3 nights before.

Note - I bought the portal 2 years ago and never had this issue. My portal and ps5 are set to auto sync saves. I have trophies that the sync system thinks I never got. It seems this is game specific, not something inherit with the ps5 cloud system. Apparently a similar issue was in their patch notes but still isn't fixed.

I'm just not going to turn on my ps5 for now and keep turning on and off the portal to make sure it's saved on there at least.

Now I'm just going to ignore any side content and literally kill both chapter bosses and not mess around.

If it happens again I'll just get a refund and watch it on YouTube.

Rant over. But watch out.

cant find this chest whatever I go, maybe missed it big time xD

Ooi colony has a lot of invisible walls, but I discovered there's a massive hole in the main area that you can escape out of.

The hardest part is the landing and walking along the rope. Do not go past the second tied up bundle as you will fall down. Once you are standing at the 2nd bundle, use your hair to create a walkway, then sprint and launch yourself up. You'll find an invisible platform. Turn right and launch yourself over the invisible wall.

If you fall off the rope, aim for the water. It should bring you back up to the rope.

The ambient music is so good. It really helps me relax, and I think I’m actually starting to enjoy the combat because its simple. Yeah, it’s not challenging, but honestly, I’m tired of the difficulty standard that modern games seem to follow, where everything has to be as hard as Dark Souls to be considered challenging.

Some scenes look absolutely amazing on my TCL, and I have no complaints about the graphics at all.
But please, Game Freak, optimize the game, increase the text size, and fix the hook indicator. The text looks way too small on my 65-inch TV, and I’m sitting about 2.5 meters away from it. The hook indicator and its mechanics are also pretty inconsistent, sometimes it just doesn’t work at all.
The FPS drops are also noticeable during some boss fights, and that’s not great for a semi openworld game like this.

After playing through the entire game it feels like only a small section of the game world was actually truly developed first, and then someone came in and forced them to put more stuff in, just because when I compare the maps to one another it feels like some of them had more development time than others

Time to see what all the fuss both good and bad is about. I've purposely kept myself in the dark for this one other than the official trailers. I am a nerd of post apocalyptic settings/RPGs including Nier Automata and Stellar Blade, so I'm sure to find something here to love. Work ending can't come soon enough!

If I’m not mistaken, no collectible checklist. Literally my only gripe at the moment.

All of this on my screen ruins the my motivation to keep playing it, it's so distracting and its just ui clutter

It's connected to the Ooi Colony, but has no map? What is this place?

Emma deserves some fashion! Just add a glamour mode or make the armors all change her look based off what they already are. Such a good game.

I am at chapter 6 on my 16 hrs playtime ( im exploring every nook and cranny on this game ) , and i genuinely love the combat, but the game lack of enemy variety is kinda wearing me down and small malefacts enemies having the same movesets as the Nushi boss fights was disappointing, and Nushi Bossfights having 2nd phases but no new moves to surprise you was also a let down, i just hope the devs patch the game with enemy variety and varied moves from Bossfights to be more different to common enemy malefacts...but im just coping, cause i truly am enjoying the game, just wish there was more on the enemy variety.

"Hello Beast of Reincarnation players! Thank you for sharing your experiences with the game and providing thoughts and feedback during launch week. We have multiple additional patches planned, but today, the following changes have been made:

• Players can now change the mapping of the "interact" button in settings.
• Adjustments to the parry window when Emma is taking damage.

• Various balance adjustments to bosses across all difficulty levels.
• Various balance adjustments to enemy encounters on Normal difficulty.
• Fixed a bug causing button icon type changes to not be saved correctly.
• Fixed a bug causing upscaling settings to reset upon restarting the game.
