I wasn't around here for your initial write-up, TC, but wow is is awesome. Thank you for all of that work!
I played the demo and knew I would enjoy it, but something about EVE's movement felt off to me. I have also heard that the demo felt a little bit more soulslike than the final game. I am okay with the final game felling different than a soulslike. It's about damn time I play this game. I need an action game in my life with some flair and some titillation.
