    I finished it. I’ll start with the good.

    Visually it’s gorgeous. Super polished. Combat is good. Nothing ground breaking. A lot of love went into this game. Controls are tight… Music is great the first 15 hours. Memorable tunes. And there are versions of them. Like a day version, night version.

    The bad The story is absolutely pointless. The first 5 hours serve no purpose to the game. It really gets going around hour 20, but by then they’re wrapping it up. The last 2 hours are essentially a boss rush. Just one boss after the other. Getting the true ending is a grind and not worth it at all. Combat is OK. Nothing ground breaking. The best skills show up around hour 20. Forgettable dialogs and zero character development.

    I backed this on Kickstarter. Never again. I’d give it a 7. Only because it really is visually amazing and polished. They get a 10 there. Its the only thing that balances the average.
