It took me 4 months to almost finish this game. Kind of had to force myself to finish it but I did anyways. Well sort of since I, skipped very last fight since I felt it was unneeded and yet another difficulty spike. Difficulty balancing was all over the place in general, either dull hack and slash or just some swordsponge boss.
Combat was well done animation wise but I never got the hang of dodging red attacks, It just felt incredibly inconsistent. Not a fan of whole red attacks either, devs really need to figure out something better for these type of things. Healing mechanic was dumb, sometimes you just went to boss fight with hardly any resolve to heal. Also there was too many mechanics that didn't add any depth to gameplay, like stances. You just press a button depending what kind of enemy type it is for correct stance and that is it. Story had good set pieces to it, but all those melodramatic moments were just frustrating to go through and overall I wasn't interested in any of the characters or the plot.
I don't know why this game didn't grab me it all even though in many ways its better than ac odyssey which grabbed me fully. Graphics or the visuals were the best part of this game. Other than that I don't really have many good things to say about this game.
