What are the upgrade materials called?
Whats the equivalent of poison?
What are experience points and checkpoints called, although youre going to call them souls and bonfires anyway?
Want to know background details of every enemy key in in the game?
Need to bone up on what, exactly, the Gratia status effect does?
Its a real shame, because Enotria has a lot to recommend it.
Of all the From Software Soulsbornes, the resulting combat hews closest toBloodborne(insert obligatory PC version when?
Its when you introduce skills that things get interesting.
There are four trees that roughly correspond to straight-up melee, spellcasting, rogue stuff and elemental gubbins.
Combined with complimentary masks, they allow you to tweak your playstyle much more than simple weapon choice does.
Its unfortunate that it seems all too easy to bypass these systems entirely.
That said, a more straightforward build would avoid running into Enotrias aforementioned poor explanations too much.
Spells, or lines, all charge up at different rates.
This poor communication extends to other areas too.
After defeating the big boss at the end of each zone, youre briefly shown where to go next.
Its also quite buggy.
Little bit anticlimactic, that.
These issues aside, I had a great time with Enotria.
The unusual setting and beautiful, appropriately shortcut-stuffed environments were a delight to adventure through.
Enotria is the epitome of the AA game, with all the good and bad that comes with it.
