Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
208 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The combat system was fun in the beginning with more parry than Sekiro and long combos during boss fights, but got old very fast because the enemies are huge sponges, making the battles a real slog of resistance.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
147 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You can choose between a Spear, Duals, or Greatsword, I am not a Greatsword player but this is the only game that made me play a Greatsword, GS gameplay was VERY fun if you love that weapon, I love the art style and the graphics were amazing, the game is also optimized despite having Denuvo.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
126 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Whether it's the story, graphics, gameplay, OST, bosses, atmosphere, or even the optimization, which is really top-notch.
Difficulty

124 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As someone who has 100% of the achievements and has beaten the game on expert difficulty, I can say that the skill ceiling is very satisfying to master. which is crucial for a combat-focused game.
Audio
