Bleeding Edge raised a question I had never considered before: What if Devil May Cry's battle encounters Overwatch? In Ninja Theory, a medium-sized development team led by DmC Devil May Cry combat designer Rahni Tucker has been working to provide answers for the past four years. The result is a mixed bag. Fundamentally, bleeding edges is a fun experience, but it's a gentle choice. To put it mildly, this release on Xbox One and PC feels like a bone.

- Availability: Now available on Xbox One and PC
The setup is as follows: two teams of four work together to eliminate clumps from each other while competing for control points, or compete for energy tanks in the second of two available game modes. There were 11 characters at launch, divided into one of three roles: Destroy, Support, or Tank, and just two days after the release of Bleeding Edge, it didn't feel enough. The roster of enhanced heroes (here is the expanded theme), made up of the same Overwatch, and some very impressive designs, all immersed in some sort of borderless land, in line with the 1990s The science fiction aesthetics has revived people's memories. Misty summer flowers are listening to garbage. One of the characters is called Zero Cool, a tribute to Jonny Lee Miller's eponymous character from the most annoying cyber thriller hacker in the mid-1990s .
I find myself particularly biased towards certain characters whose work differs slightly from grades and files. Maeve is a grandma from Wicklow, Ireland (you won't see many older women in video games-nice Ninja Theory!), She is a cyber witch assassin riding a hovering gadget. Maeve's trick is to perfectly adjust the timing of her traps and kills, which will reset her abilities. Fighting for it, Maeve is lightweight. However, if you can join the battle or quit the battle and snatch the last hit after the last hit, then she is a beast.
In terms of support, I like to play Kulev's role. He is-and sticks to me-a de ad professor who loves voodoo at Cambridge University. His soul has been digitized and reborn into an automatic snake. Now he is the mummy body of a snake. Arm. The above is from a dead professor at the University of Cambridge. According to his life, he was born in Nanchian. I don't know of any other video game characters born in Nanchian.
On the battlefield, Kulev was a long-range supporter who used curses and gifts to heal and deal damage. He doesn't treat as directly as fellow support character Zero Cool, but I find him more flexible and cool.
As far as tanks go, I have a crush on Buttercup, a semi-motorbike girl (her "get here here" chain ability is fun, but the design inspiration is very little). Makutu is a burly New Zealander who sacrificed escape in order to be able to switch postures between a state of continuous recovery or a state of increased exercise speed, which is even more interesting. This is the issue of bleeding edge: it is only occasionally interesting. In most cases, it has the feel of a single note.
I'm sure that in the first few hours, the "bleeding edge" feels a bit superficial. This is a third-person fighting game with automatic aiming and only one attack button, you can mix and match to get a single combo of melee characters, or hold down a long-range attack as a remote character (spend a lot of time pressing X in bloodshed edge). Each character has only three characteristics, and before entering the game, you can choose one of the two super. Very limited.
As a result, it feels that your success depends primarily on the composition of the team. In fact, this is a doomed situation. Most of the time, players will choose a good distribution of characters-one tank, two damage dealers and one therapist-but if there are no characters in line, you will inevitably find yourself with a team that refuses to deviate from extreme popularity damage dealers Pairing-although if you fail to select a secondary character, an in-game warning pops up.
However, there is a more pressing problem at the bleeding edge. It was released in such a naked state, and it felt like a soft start rather than a full release. Bleeding Edge has only two game modes, and they have started to look old. The collection and storage mode of the power battery is obviously weaker than the standard control mode, and I wince whenever the game lets me in. Although there are some maps, they all look and feel similar. The dolphin Mekko who drove the fish tank crab mech through Japanese AI should have been involved in the launch, but it will soon land. There is no ranking game and no meaningful progress system. While playing the game, you can upgrade your profile and characters, but only for the purpose of unlocking the mod and earning cosmetic points. Ninja Theory has promised that Bleeding Edge will not and will not be micro-transactional, which surprised me, but the inspiration generated when unlocked in the game was not helpful. There are different checkerboard types, and you can buy stickers for checkerboards and checkerboard trails through virtual points, but I'm more interested in character appearance. Ah-there are only two per character, they are palette swap! Emoticons are fun, but only a few can be unlocked per character. Some characters have only one emoji to unlock.
Bleeding Edge is about your carefree wreck. The good friends you meet by chance with some good friends are actually different from the night in Cheam. Press FIGHT and the game will find a match for you with as little hassle as possible. Hopefully you are playing with those who are united, rather than hobbling towards their inevitable doom like some crazy toddler kids. Rinse and repeat, the hidden scoring system (hopefully) works behind the scenes to squeeze players with similar skills together. If you lose-oh, you will get a closing bonus, some experience points and a few credits. Win, you can get more. I think Game Pass and Lockdown (both sound like characters in the game) will bleed until summer? The battle is fast enough to get out of the fight temporarily, but I might lose interest sooner or later without some meaningful updates.
