In this part of the video, the speaker reflects on their anticipation for the game “Dolmen” following its less-than-stellar E3 presentation, which featured minimal gameplay footage and subpar audio. They express high expectations for the game’s release in 2022, even comparing it to the anticipation for “Modern Warfare 2.” Upon playing Dolmen, they describe it as a “Dark Souls” like game, highlighting its unique element—a pistol for ranged attacks, which sets it apart from the typical melee-focused gameplay.
