151 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
After 35 hours of gameplay, completing every main quest, side quest, bounty, and exploring all areas, including hidden ones, and defeating every boss, I can confidently say this game is one of the best metroidvania/souls-like games I’ve ever played.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
104 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As a result, all weapons of the same type have the same moveset which makes me feel like the game has one greathammer, one straight sword, one greatsword, etc.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Side Content: The game is packed with side quests, bounty hunting, treasure hunts, and crafting.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Engaging Boss Fights: Most bosses are a delight, offering varied difficulty and creative mechanics.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Stunning Art Direction: The game’s 2.5D world is breathtaking, blending 2D visuals with subtle 3D depth to create a captivating atmosphere.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What's more is that you can actually multiclass at higher levels, which breaks character customization wide open, and skill trees "next" to each other in the game's UI have some light synergies and shortcuts.
