Phantom Blade Zero
What's so special about Phantom Blade Zero? Actually, this game is fairly standard. The graphics and gameplay it offers are very identical to previous action genre games.
In fact, from the trailer that has been broadcast on the official YouTube channel PlayStation, Phantom Blade Zero looks like other Soulslike games: heavily inspired by Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice!
The combination of the two looks very strong, both in the combat system, movement, controls and combo moves, etc. Fast progression and a mix of stealth and parry systems can also be found here.
Don't forget, the dark vibes and grim nuances typical of Soulslike are also included. In fact, the impression is that it is more similar to a sequel or DCL to the two games.
However, the difference is that the two games above come from much more experienced developers with portfolios that cannot be underestimated.
Meanwhile, for S-Game itself, Phantom Blade Zero is a current-next gen game. their first to be worked on using Unreal Engine 5! For the 'trial and error' stage, their efforts are not 'canned'!
