Using it in combat though is pretty tricky as you’re left open to attacks and can’t move for the few seconds it takes to recharge.

If you lock onto an enemy you can fire and strafe with ease or, for the more hands-on approach, aim down the sights as you snipe from a distance. Projectile weapons play a huge role in combat and can make all the difference in encounters. The first is the addition of third-person ranged combat. But Dolmen does add some interesting wrinkles of its own. You have your light and heavy melee attacks, blocks and parry’s, a dodge roll and a stamina bar governing all of the above.
