This game is a work of art.

- Visuals are outstanding, the cut scenes are incredibly cinematic and immersive and the game itself, both in and out of combat is a joy.
- Story/Narrative is intriguing, and it leaves me constantly wanting to learn more.
- Combat is fun and unique. As someone who loves parrying in games, this game, despite being turn-based, seems to have an incredibly high skill ceiling for mastering dodges/parries, and figuring out which skills to use in different scenarios.
- Soundtrack is beautiful. If you've ever played Lies of P and enjoyed the soundtrack there, you will love the this game and its similarities in music.

On top of all this;
interact-able trash can.

After completing the first 2 missions, I can confidently say this game is absolutely amazing.

- Combat is incredible: Parries feel satisfying land and enemy attacks feel fair. Freeze frames for that extra juice when perfectly dodging is great, the weapons aren't too slow nor too fast, (even the great swords!) and there isn't any visual clutter or insane particle effects that disturb fights.

- Leveling and skill tree is great: There's only a handful of stats to level and they're all quite clear and balanced. Normally I would invest a ton of points into one stat, but these stats actually make me want to spread them out carefully. As for the skill tree, I love the simplicity of it, once again not overwhelming me. If I see one more celestial tree with 50 thousand nodes I'm going to lose my mind. The skill tree also contains upgrades that actually matter, it doesn't boost my attack power by 1.3% but rather useful, but not required skills.

- Level design has been good so far: No crazy boss walk-backs, auto soul-pick up without needing to press a button is a great QoL feature, the way the level interconnects back to previous areas and rest sites are good.

- Performance is good: Surprisingly, this game seems decently optimized. I play on an RTX 3070 and can comfortably run the game at 60-90 FPS on medium-high settings.

I have a lot more to say about this game, but these are the points that stood out to me the most. I heavily recommend it.

Simply amazing.

wtf is this

11/10, died more in this game than my play-time in seconds. Masterpiece of a game.

👌

If you were hit by a hatchet across the map. That was me.

10/10 would suck at this game again.
