Why players love itThings to know
75% of themes are praise300 helpful reviews25% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
170 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is also quite hard, with difficult bosses that do gate progression and quite a few platforming gauntlets (so there is variety as well as difficulty; those gauntlets are a good way to practice the extensive movement tech).
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
119 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In short: Fun gameplay, Amazing artstyle and atmosphere, original story and very deep, extremely hard (trying not to exaggerate ).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
116 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is snappy, and landing a hit in the air lets you jump again to parkour or keep aerial combos going.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also amazing graphics and music, my one complaint is that it kinda cooks my gpu temps unless I limit it to 60 fps(even with the fact I heavily undervolt my 3090))
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design for attacks and enemies is solid too, except for a weird static noise tied to some of the modifiers.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I don't think every game needs to be made for everyone, but this one has pretty forgiving accessibility settings if you really want/need to use them.
