Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
I wasn’t hoping we’d get actual free content DLC – it would be too generous. But some impressive cosmetics are a neat idea.
Haha, I honestly expected the demo clear bonuses to be minor things, and was anticipating something cosmetic. They are pretty cool looking at least! And yes, I cackled pretty hard when the boss popped up, love the pipe smoking yokai shadow connection.
Huh, I know I shouldn’t complain, but “Mark of the Strong” and “Mark of the Conqueror” sounded a lot more impressive than “here’s a helmet that looks like the boss”. Oh well, still cool thoughAnd that toad boss is awesome!
