The combat is very satisfying, but the thing is that you are stuck in the same gameplay loop very fast.

The game does insanely well with optimization especially for my dying GPU. a couple months ago I got the first stages of GPU death with the black boxes appearing in my screen. as for optimization, I can run max graphics with over 90fps along with DLSS turned up so that is pretty insane compared to other games.

Beautifully optimized, the gameplay is smooth, you feel badass switching between characters doing air combos like you're Dante switching between weapons, guns and fight styles.

Ekku character design is 12/10 reminds me Phantom Blade Zero(ish) vibe and I love that.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance is solid on mid-range hardware, and it runs acceptably on Steam Deck (though not fully optimized yet).
