Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
57 of 120 sampled reviews raised it
Since enemy telegraphs can sometimes be hard to read, the forgiving parry timing helps combat feel less frustrating.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
26 of 120 sampled reviews raised it
However, the combat in this game is much, much better, whereas exploration in the latter game is superior being a much bigger and more intricately designed world.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
20 of 120 sampled reviews raised it
Playing with Hard difficulty feels like true souls game, but with 🐂💩 bosses, Literally, IMPOSSIBLE to beat.
