About what I expected :obama:

Pretty much all my criticisms with the demo are prevalent throughout the game

The First Berserker: Khazan is a typical Soulslike-inspired action RPG that takes a lot of inspiration from Nioh, and offers nothing new that separates itself from the dozens of others out there. Even in the many aspects it takes from Nioh, it often does them worse. Its beautiful art direction is largely held back by a deliberately dull color palette. Additionally, its combat has some great animations, yet overall feels sluggish because of how restrictive its stamina system is. I was prepared to have a great time with The First Berserker: Khazan, but there's so little that I enjoyed because it always took two steps back in every step it took forward. -6/10

As much as I enjoyed the demo, funny enough, I haven't felt even the slightest bit compelled to buy the full game. :manny:
Maybe I was just excited coming off the elden ring dlc and wanted something similar.
Crazy because the demo had me really hype but when I think about it, there really are other games in the genre that do it much better.
Might just cop on a deep cut sale. It does kinda seem like a game that'll be on ps+ eventually as well.

This is the rare kind of game I’d be hype as hell to catch a lick on or in ps plus

most games if I don’t want to pay full price for them usually means i just don’t want to waste time playing them at all.
