About

Godfall is a brand new, next-gen looter-slasher, set in a bright fantasy universe filled with heroic knights and arcane magic. Godfall is a fantasy action RPG that utilizes high-impact third-person melee combat to engage players as they hunt for loot, don legendary armor sets, and defeat vicious enemies. As players face challenging missions in the world of Godfall, enemies and bosses will reward fans with head-turning loot as they are vanquished. Godfall can be played entirely in solo, duo or three-player coop, providing fun for all.

Not too enthusiastic about loot in action games (unless it's for abilities/moveset/cosmetic), I guess we'll see.

Take your first look at PlayStation 5 gameplay of Godfall and the world of Aperion—a world on the precipice of ruin. You are the last of the Valorian knights, god-like warriors able to equip Valorplates, legendary armor sets that transform wielders into unstoppable masters of melee combat. Tear through foes as you climb through each of the elemental realms and challenge the mad god, Macros who awaits you at the top. Ascend in Godfall, the first-of-its-kind, looter-slasher,

Honestly I can understand people finding the art direction generic, but holy crap at that moment to moment gameplay. If its as tight as it looks in terms of last moment dodges / dashes and whatnot there's some really really cool potential in here to have a more than decent melee focused looter and I'm all in for it, time for a change from all the shooter ones
