Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 46 sampled reviews raised it
your character dies in 3 hits most of the time, but everytime you parry you heal one third of your health. parries are easy to pull of with the games super tight and responsive control.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 46 sampled reviews raised it
Player progression can influence how certain events, enemies, and locations are remembered, creating an interesting connection between gameplay and storytelling.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 46 sampled reviews raised it
Combined with ability-driven exploration and a narrative that deliberately questions its own version of events, it offers considerably more personality than its small scale might initially suggest.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 46 sampled reviews raised it
Mechanically it is where it shines, and the difficulty level plummets once you actually get the hang of things, except for spikes, they will always be my bane!
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
5 of 46 sampled reviews raised it
Looks good enough, seems smooth enough, has some decent effects, weird graphics, but still clean.
