Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
169 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is the single best third-person perspective (TPP) combat system I have experienced, and I have played Lies of P, Sekiro, Ninja Gaiden 2, Sifu, Bayonetta 3, Devil May Cry 5, Guilty Gear -Strive-, and all of the God of War games.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
129 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Cutscenes are pre-rendered and higher quality than gameplay, with superior models, assets, and controlled lighting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Character models are detailed, and lighting is generally decent, though baked global illumination is weaker in some indoor areas due to the lack of a ray-traced light bounce model.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When the first tumbleweed rolls onto the screen, you’re greeted with a world that feels like a postcard from an alternate Wild West—copper‐glinting towns, orange horizons, and a soundtrack that mixes twangy banjos with synth‐driven grit.
