I’ve been playing this game through Game Pass and really enjoy it for casual gaming sessions after work. The story is engaging, and I love exploring, jumping, and leveling up. The resource management feels just right—not too overwhelming but still engaging. However, I’m hitting a couple of roadblocks that are frustrating: Firstly, I’m at level 10 in the second area and I feel like the ability points are just not enough. I often find myself unsure whether to boost stamina, increase damage, or enhance stun effects. Plus, with level 10 opening up a new row of abilities, I can’t even imagine how it feels to be a mage!
Secondly, I’m focusing on a two-handed melee fighter build and I’m disappointed with the scarcity of unique weapons. I’m currently using the Philosopher’s Blade, but I’ve not come across any other two-handed legendary weapons that are compelling. I have found unique gear, but where are the standout weapons? Also, can anyone confirm if mods are playable on Game Pass?

For my melee build, I started with the Philosopher’s Blade but switched to the Emerald Splitter and then to Hels Tongue—definitely the best two-handed weapon in the game! Make sure you explore for more weapons, as they can be found later in the game. Also, don’t be afraid to upgrade your gear to keep up with the level scaling!
You can respec your abilities without much cost, which I’ve done each time a new tier unlocks. Unfortunately, the game has a limited number of active abilities, so your choices can feel a bit too narrow sometimes. But it also means you can experiment a lot with builds without losing progress!
I found the Horsecutter in Emerald Stair and it became my go-to weapon! The stun effects with the barbarian shout really helped, especially in tougher situations.
