That's one game that I never got into the hype train with and still haven't got around to trying, even though it looks like it's right up my alley. So I might be mistaken but wasn't Minecraft originally an indie effort? I don't like it but I can understand and appreciate giving indie devs support while they're still working on things a lot more than paying the mega corporation for the privilege of being a beta tester.
I never played it after the terrible reviews and after seeing the ugly busy ui/damage splatter. It especially hurt as a fan of the Rocksteady batman games and huge DC comics fan. Did the updates help? Is it better? Worth a play?
I felt like Shadow of Mordor was a decent spiritual successor, and while I haven't played Shadow of War it seems like more of the same. Same combat style as the Arkham games.
The recent Insomniac/Sony Spider-Man games also had a similar combat style.
Actually, I just got it for free from my Playstation plus membership, one of this month's free downloads. Just wasn't sure if it was even worth my time
