This is a very fun game with many intricate systems, fun yet challenging combat, and is easy to play. I would recommend the game to anyone even people who don't usually like souls like game. My only complaint is there is a glitch where If your computer runs on 11th gen intel then you won't be able to play the game. It crashes immediately or after a minute. This issue has been present for at least 3 years since 2021 and still has not been fixed. Luckily there are multiple fixes that work to subvert this problem that are very easy and take almost no time. Just look up the fix and spend like five minutes setting it up then enjoy hours of fun.

While i have to agree with some points about the game feeling clunky at times, it is really a thing of getting used to it. It has a very distinct art style and in my opinion looks fantastic. Some moments in this game are very epic and especially the second to last boss while very hard is super cool designed. I had a great time and when i got frustrated it was really my fault. I'd say if you'd like to try a soulslike with an a bit clearer narrative i'd say go for this. Sadly with 15 hours its a bit short, although i definitely didnt search around in all corners for all the scattered items, but since most of it is cheap consumables i probably missed out on some cool items because it was too tedious to fetch them. I'd say get it on sale. All around a 7.5/10 in my book, very solid.

combat is a little janky sometimes but overall i really love it
