With a RTX 2080, 32 GB of RAM, i7-8700k and playing on a resolution of 1440p at 60 fps, I got some stuttering from time to time, dropping to 30 frames in some boss battles (it didn't matter which graphics settings i was using).

Despite that, the game is great, but i really hope it gets fixed soon.

Much better than Battlefield and COD.

Just the first impressions:

-FPS needs to be manually capped from NVIDIA control panel to 60, otherwise the game runs badly, due to the fact that animations are tied to the frame rate.
-The game runs smoothly in max settings with no frame drops so far, as long as you configure the FPS as described above (tested on a i7-8700K, RTX 2080 and 32 GB of RAM).
-The OST is as great as the one in Automata.

I'll update my review later if I find any other problem.

I will keep it as simple as possible, as this review will only contain some technical aspects.

On high settings (the default configuration), I got an average of 70 fps at 1440p (tested on a i7-8700K, RTX 2080 and 32 GB of RAM) and it never crashed. However, I got some frame rate drops here and there, reaching 40-50 fps.

The game is definitely playable, but if you are not in a hurry, maybe you should wait for a patch.

I decided to buy this game after I saw it had an overwhelmingly positive rating and that it had the tag "Souls-like", so here are some pros and cons.

Pros:
-Runs great at 1440p and 144 fps (tested with i7-8700K / RTX 2080).
-Combat mechanics. As other souls games, it includes parrying, dodging, melee combat (although not very effective) and ranged combat, which is the core of the game.
-Boss design. Not too easy nor too difficult, and I think these are the best part of the game.
-Character design.

Cons:
-Spell damage and utility need some balance (non-charged ice spells feel a little overpowered compared to other spells).
-Lack of variety of enemies.
-Some levels are very easy to clean up from a safe distance, maybe a maximum range for spells should be considered.
-Basically the game has no story, you just have to go to certain place, which you can't reach yet.
-Counter. It's never explained how to use it properly. Same goes for other spells, you have to pause the game to read more about each one of them in the menu.

In conclusion, if you are into anime and souls games, you should definitely give this a try.

+1

To be honest, this game is a lot better than I expected.

Pros:

• Immersion (probably the best part of the game). That feeling of that something is going to happen... Wow...
  
• Great story.
  
• Amazing soundtrack and voice acting.
  
• Astonishing graphics.
  
• The actress's performance is incredible.
  
• Combat is not that hard, but still enjoyable.

Cons:

• As far as I have played, the game is kinda linear, but that is something I already expected (I don't care much about this, I'm only pointing it out).
