The atmosphere and visuals of the trailer were incredible, although it would have been nice if they showed off some gameplay footage. It’s not clear to me how “in-engine” cinematics will translate to the actual game. I haven’t played the first game, though. Would people recommend checking it out before the sequel comes out?
Your second point is interesting! I agree there wasn’t much encouraging back-tracking, especially since there are pretty generous fast travel points. Because the design is quite good, in my opinion, hopefully they’ll do more to emphasize that aspect of the game later on.
Cool to hear you play Runeterra! I created /c/legendsofruneterra@lemmy.world yesterday. Share any decks you’ve been playing there :)
I wish the trailer was more informative, but they did say there was going to be a gameplay overview tomorrow (at a dedicated Ubisoft stream). I guess I’ll reserve judgement till then…
