Fantastic Gem
penixmatt23 October 2023
One of the best AA souls-like available at moment. Someone complained about lack of maps but that's what characterizes this type of game, learning the maps, exploration, going back and forth between areas once activate fast travel midway through the game. Yes, the lack of fast travel does suck some at first but this is designed to help you learn the level layouts.

You start the game with all weapons available - 5 of them or so, but you can equip only two at once, but each have huge upgrade tree that can change how each weapon is used, the combat having stamina limits and uses similar to dark souls but not nearly as difficult.

Art direction is fantastic, cool look. Movement is fluid. Story is deep, but requires a lot of lore reading which really fleshes out the world and can be pretty interesting.

A worthy play through if fans of the genre. Don't overlook this one.

Well acted but clunky gameplay

Have you people ever heard of a map? I don't have the kind of time one needs running around to find things. It's not exploration. It's unmitigated monotony. The combat system is well thought out but not fluid or too fluid if you use say, daggers. Take ladders right out. The story is OK with a lot of ESL mistakes in dialogues. If this gave had fishing and farming I might guess it was Japanese. Great voice acting. If it wasn't on sale for Black Friday I would not have bought it as it falls far short of next generation. Let this be the last of it's kind. And if you like Laura Croft devs, she be dead a million times over in this game.
