I was thinking I might really dig this one and it makes a good first impression, but I was turned off to it --hard-- within 30 minutes. I would love a difficult combat challenge with this gorgeous animation and atmosphere but I was fighting even the simplest controls and expected to execute high and low parries and even feints. No, fuck no, thank you, but no.
This RPS review nailed how I felt about it even though I spent (a lot) less time playing…
It’s a strong concept, gorgeously realised, with some great ideas and a lot of personality.
I hate it though.
I’m sorry. I really am.
The review goes on to suggest that everyone should give it a shot on Game Pass to see for themselves and I agree. I feel like some folks might really love it.
