The combat alone is so satisfying to experience. Even though this game is not open world. The world itself is huge. There are less than 20 levels along with side quests for completionists to get the "true ending". The world building is dark, gritty, bleak and all you can feel in the air is anger, as the main Character is so consumed by revenge that the whole atmosphere around him feels bloodthirsty as all you're surrounded by is death and misery.
Something that holds this game back is definitely the lack of versatility when it comes to weapons. You only get around 3. Even though it is action packed, making the Combat chaotic, it is not fast paced, which sort of makes the game drag its welcome a bit, mixed in with the unnecessary difficulty spikes. The game may not be fast paced but the combat is, and boy is this man quick when you use them dual blades. There is a tutorial system through out the game as you learn new skills. it even surprised me at the fact that there was stealth also involved and boy are the sneak attacks brutal.
There is a crafting system but I don't need to explain how that works, I mean what game doesn't have a crafting system? Don't answer that. this isn't the time for you to be a smart ass on the comment section. 🧐 You will level up throughout the game however the bosses are insanely hard so you will find yourself grinding for resources to level up enough to take on a boss unfortunately. As you kill a boss you get rewarded with extra upgrade materials to make the journey ahead easier. You will end up dying a lot and going from checkpoint to checkpoint ain't no kids walk unfortunately.
Sometimes the bosses do look similar just with slight colour and minor ability changes but that didn't really affect me much. It didn't really make it feel cheap. Cause they still look great and terrifying. Sometimes you even need to make your own potions to fight enemies with as they have a certain type of weakness. Don't be fooled by seeing difficulty options. even on easy it will feel like veteran level of difficulty.
You can summon ghostie friends to help you fight bosses without their help this game would be unplayable imo. Collectig orbs can summon them or you can even upgrade them to make them stronger. The soundtrack is fantastic and they make use of their sound effects to give you a heads up of what is up ahead.
Some of the flaws I noticed are some level designs are not that nice to look at like during the mine levels. The main outfit is boring and bland until you have a chance to customize it yourself. I encountered a few bugs that did crash the game, sometimes camera angles can get you stuck or confused.
Imo it is harder than elden ring but not as hard as sekiro. Good game however not my style and not something I'll ever revisit.
