Steam reviews

What players say

Most players recommend this action game for its satisfying combat and music, though many say the story and side content are weaker than the fighting.

Many players praise the combat, which rewards learning parries, dodges and combos, and the soundtrack and boss fights get frequent mention. The visuals and the wider world design are also liked, and several reviewers say the game runs well even on modest hardware. Some players say the protagonist's design and outfits draw attention, but most say the game has more to offer than that. Criticism centres on a generic story, thin characters and repetitive side quests and fetch tasks. Some players also find the open areas empty, the platforming and puzzles tedious, and the difficulty settings uneven. Recent reviews are more mixed and more often mention bland open areas and dull side content than the older helpful reviews, which are warmer overall.

Criticised

  • Generic story

    Reviewers find the plot familiar and the characters and dialogue thin or badly written.

    Many players
  • Empty open areas

    Large open zones are described as barren and repetitive, with monsters and little of interest.

    Many players
  • Filler side quests

    Side quests are often called fetch-style tasks that feel tedious and lack meaningful payoff.

    Many players
  • Tedious platforming and puzzles

    Players find the parkour sections and puzzles annoying and out of place.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who enjoy action combat with parries and combos, and who like a strong soundtrack and boss fights, will get the most from it.
Who should skip it
Players who want a strong story, deep characters or engaging side content should probably skip it or wait for a sale.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are split and more often mention the difficulty and tedious side content, while players with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it for the combat.
