The combat reminds me of Bloodborne, attacking and dodging to apply pressure, in False Hero this feeds you learned abilities which is really fun.

I'm playing on Steam Deck using lsfg to hit 60fps with decent graphics settings and the input lag is minimal.

Very interesting take on the soulslike combat and honestly the biggest shake up since Sekiro.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 172 sampled reviews raised it
The atmosphere, world design, music, and voice acting all work in perfect harmony to transport you into a hostile, compelling world.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
16 of 172 sampled reviews raised it
To start, the game looks very interesting and the story of death creeping into the world of gods through their own insecurities is genuinely an awesome story.
