Early Access Review
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.

"The vague info, lack of tutorial and [insert game mechanic] information here is very purposely modeled after this."
It's like you never played a game before the 7th generation of consoles before. Soulsborne fans always have these very cringy takes.

good review but I'd like to nitpick on one of your points. This games clearly inspired by dark souls. The vague info, lack of tutorial and item/spell information is very purposely modeled after this. In souls games if you really want to take advantage of any story or how items / weapons work then you have to take the time to read everything in your inventory. The main point of this system in souls or any souls like is to not insult your intelligence by hand holding you through a bright and colorful picture book, explaining everything along the way..... If your a souls fan then you already know this.
