A phenomenally designed action game combining elements of a wide variety of different ideas from different action games. While it seems to be pushed as a spectacle fighter, the combat's pace is closer to something like the new God of War than Bayonetta but with much more interesting systems. The game is focused around using the environment to try to force fights into individual duals in the middle of a big melee. It can take a little bit of time to get used to the systems but it flows beautifully once you understand it.

The game's also oozing with style, particularly each character and enemy has fantastic voice work giving everything plenty of character. The levels also excel at creating believable locations with a sense of place despite being almost entirely linear.

The primary caveat with this recommendation is the game's limited scope. The amount of different regular enemies can be counted on one hand and I finished it in just over 3 hours. I have no issues with short games, but if you do then just wait for a sale. Make sure you do pick it up though, it's worth your time.
