I just wanted to say thank you to Amazon Games Studios and everyone involved in the new Brimstone sands update, I played for about 5 - 6 hours last night and thoroughly enjoyed the new update apart from the “defeat the waves” quest near the beginning when I stood and watched about 50 people spamming attack in the one spot even though there was no enemies to be seen.
I personally enjoyed the new NPC’S, especially Imhotep and Ghazi, I like how the new cutscenes add a new layer of immersion to the story and characters, the background animation for the named weapons is cool with the new purple moving background, running along the huge aqueduct was amazing and the views from up there were brilliant, I like the new jumping puzzles it helps create that sense of adventure and exploration.
I liked certain lore notes being voice acted although I wish they could all be like that, I enjoyed seeing the different enemy types materials and wildlife, overall the flow of the story is better and more engaging.
I understand as with any big update there are some bugs with crafting etc and I know you guys will be working on a fix asap but overall I am really enjoying where this game is going right now, if we keep getting updates like this then it will be a No Mans Sky style comeback, written off a year ago, and now slowly now making a comeback.
Finally thanks to everyone who worked on and poured countless hours into this update including the PTR testers, thanks to everyone for a solid update, appreciate the work and effort you guys put into this, great step in the right direction.
Now, I am off to Brimstone Sands.
