honestly kinda liking it ngl.

EDIT: Okay so I'm going to caveat this...

I feel its worth the 20 bucks on sale. Definitely not full price:

Stiff animations, terrible voice acting of side characters, weird cut scene delays and just a lot of random stuff that feels unfinished and lack of care. There's also these random parts where you must interact with several paintings/people/items etc and it just feels tedious and annoying. I'm not sure what they were thinking with some of these design choices.

The combat is very fun, traversing feels really cool (although its a bit jank at times) and the boss fights are fun so far.

it's a conflicting one.

I also don't mind Frey as much as other people do. I kind of like the feisty attitude.

Tried giving it a chance after having it on my wishlist for years, everyone telling me how bad it is.
It really was that bad.

Underrated. Gorgeous world world amazing animations. Fun parkour movement and a thralling story. I see many reviews list the MC (Frey) dialogue as a huge negative but I personally had little issue with it. I beat this the week it dropped in jan 2023. DLC is also good.
