Upcoming looter-slasher Godfall from Counterplay Games and Gearbox Software is just a few weeks away and the developers have shared some more details on exactly how the gameplay systems work via PlayStation Blog.

To start, enemies have weakpoints that will be revealed after an attack. If you hit a weakpoint with a direct attack, you’ll deal critical damage. You’ll also need to Breach enemies with tough, heavy armor by using heavy attacks or flurries of light attacks. As you deal damage, you’ll also charge a meter giving you access to Soulshatter, a finishing move that can easily dispose of different enemies.

For a point of comparison, the PS4 Slim is 11.3 inches (288mm) long, 10.4 inches (265mm) wide and 1.54 inches (39mm) tall. The Xbox Series X is 5.9 inches (151mm), wide and 11…
