Howdy, had a chance to play the current iteration last night a bit. Gotta say it felt pretty good for an early batch.
Loved the telekinesis ragdolling. Note that some enemies do get stuck on/behind terrain after being tossed like hackeysacks.
One thing that comes to mind for me that I didn't see mentioned 13 times already by everyone else is that sometimes the blood spatter decals on the terrain pop in.
I agree with other folks that the mace needs a bit of TLC to it, maybe a slower step forward during the attack (compared to sword) so the attack arc has an easier time hitting the enemies, who love keeping their distance (understandably).
Another thing is that after being in there for a while (10-15 waves maybe), it seems like Zorin's feet get possessed and won't stop moving when the rest of him does. He has happy feet.
As far as other potential improvements goes, for the enemy AI (and I'm sure y'all were already planning on doing something like this) you might try having one rarely decide to lose his composure and go for an all out assault against you, sprinting toward you, swinging wildly, and yelling. That would make for some nice variety in pacing. After attacking wildly for about 10-20 seconds he can calm down and act normal again (if he's still alive). You might also be able to cancel his fervor by slamming him with telekinesis.
One other thing that I'm not sure if I saw or just imagined, dented armor? Armor being torn off by the force of our blows is very cool and I'm glad that already got added in, but did I imagine it when I briefly glimpsed one soldier's helmet get caved in on one side from a blow during my combos? If not in already, I hope that's still planned.
It doesn't run stupendously well right now, I'm mostly getting some very minor tremors/stutters, but I expect the optimization will be coming down the line later on.
I think I gave my specs somewhere else a while ago, but here, for y'all's notes:
Gfx card - GTX Zotac AMP EXTREME! 1080 ti 11gb
Mobo - ASUS PRIME Z370-A
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz
RAM - G.Skill Trident Z Royal 40 GB DDR4-2133 CL19 Memory (weird numbers here, I know, as far as I can tell they don't make these anymore)
Monitor - LG ULTRAWIDE 34" (only a 60hz refresh rate, so I'm locked to 60fps at best, planning on upgrading here sometime soon)
