The game recently hit its two years in Early Access mark by celebrating with content patch v0.7, adding a significant amount of content. You can check it out now on Steam. The Best Game I've Sucked at Since Elden Ring Looking at videos of We Who Are About To Die, you kind of get a glimpse that the combat isn't exactly the usual kind.

Have you ever found a game to not quite play as you'd expect? Check out my thoughts on this early acc...
