Mortal Shell II - Open Beta

Mortal Shell II - Open Beta Review

Pros

Cons

Outstanding optimization for older hardware

Non-linear design makes it easy to miss bosses

Improved, highly readable enemy attack patterns

Lacks an early-game map or quest log

Promising character customization depth

Reduced difficulty might deter hardcore soulslike fans

Overall Impression: A Massive Step Up

I've had the first Mortal Shell sitting in my library forever, but I never actually got around to finishing it. Honestly, between the brutally hard combat, the lag in certain spots, and the kind of flat dialogue, I just ended up abandoning my playthrough a few times. So when the Mortal Shell II open beta dropped for free, my expectations were pretty low. But I'm happy to admit I was completely wrong, the game is genuinely amazing and feels like a massive step up from the original in almost every way.

Performance & World Building

The optimization is remarkably well-handled. My laptop has been pushed beyond its limits over the past five years, and the wear and tear is usually obvious in demanding games. Surprisingly, this beta runs incredibly well. The graphics look fantastic, and the 3D environments render quickly without stuttering. When you understand the complexities behind managing rendering pipelines and setting up 3D world models, seeing a game perform this smoothly with consistent power usage is genuinely impressive.

Combat & Customization

Combat is significantly less arduous than in the first game. The underlying NPC logic feels refined, and enemy attack patterns are much more predictable and readable. Hardcore soulslike veterans might not find this shift in difficulty appealing, but for someone who struggled with the combat in the original, this balance is a massive relief. Additionally, the game hints at extensive character customization, which looks very promising even in its limited beta state.

Exploration & Areas for Improvement

The only real issue I encountered stems from the non-linear gameplay. While open exploration is fine for this genre, it’s remarkably easy to unintentionally skip entire areas and major encounters. In my roughly two hours of playtime, I missed several boss fights simply because I didn't trigger the right events, and I only realized this after watching another player's YouTube walkthrough. The core gameplay loop would greatly benefit from some form of an early-game map function or a lightweight quest log to keep players from feeling completely clueless.

Final Verdict

Overall, the Open Beta provided a fantastic experience. The leap in quality is undeniable, and I am almost certain I will be purchasing the full game upon release.

Manor Lords

A Flawed Gem with Immense Potential

I wanna start off by saying—I love this game. With all its imperfections, things that need repolishing, or straight-up reworking, Manor Lords is still fun. I’ve spent over 50 hours in under three weeks. It hooked me fast, even if that excitement slowly faded over time.

Pros :

Cons :

Great graphics and art style. It's genuinely one of the better-looking city builders out there.

Slow updates. This is the main issue. The game has been sitting in Early Access limbo. I looked at it six months ago, and honestly? Not much has changed. Yes, the dev released a preview for an upcoming update—and it looks promising—but until it drops, I have to call it like it is: the game lacks innovation right now.

Flexible building system. The modular housing and placement freedom are a joy to work with.

Bugs that won't go away. I haven’t had as many issues as some others, but I’ve still seen families disappearing, or burgage plots refusing to build despite having all the materials and workers ready.

Trading system has potential. Imports/exports work well enough, but the packing station (used to trade between your own regions) is basically useless right now.

Micromanagement gets tedious. There’s no way to manage multiple buildings of the same type in bulk. Setting work areas for each logging camp or forester one-by-one gets old fast. Also, each new region starts from scratch with its own progression tree, which kills the pace. If I’ve built up one region, I should be able to transfer that momentum.

Helpful tooltips. Most buildings have a "?" icon that explains their purpose and requirements. Super handy when you’re learning the ropes.

Optimization is rough. Could be on my end, but I’m running an RTX 3060 and i5-10500, and this game runs worse than Cyberpunk or RDR2. Even on medium settings I get frame drops, and x12 speed turns the game into a slideshow.

A lot of people have pointed out the €40 price tag—and honestly, I get it. For an Early Access title, it is steep. I managed to get a key for just under €20, and I don’t regret it one bit. At that price, there’s more than enough content to justify the purchase. At €40? Not quite yet. Manor Lords is far from polished—but even so, I still recommend it. With the right updates and some much-needed refinement, it has the potential to become something truly special.
