It's proud of what it does bad
Everything that is unlikeable about so-called Souls-like genre is here. Quality of life? You won't find it here; maybe authors feared people will think it's a game for casual gamers if they include things like pause, map or in-game manual. You don't even get a flashlight until you spend 10 minutes in the darkest and the most boring maze I've seen in video games. Visuals? Irrational - that's the 1st word that comes to my mind. We are shown beautiful open areas and then we are forced into dark, ugly tunnels and - to add injury to the insult - it downright hurts the gameplay: neither combat system (both character's moveset and enemy's AI) nor camerawork handle narrow spaces very well. Storyline? I don't know. I played for hours and I DON'T KNOW THE STORY and that is a problem. The writing isn't 'minimalistic' or 'mysterious', it simply don't give (at least for hours or possibly ever) answers to some really basic questions like 'who am I?' 'what am I supposed to do?' and the worst and the most important of all: 'why should I even care?'. Combat? It's barebones. Meet new enemy, memorise its attacks through trial and error (and by 'memorise' I mean learn which ones you avoid by dodging to the side and which ones - by jumping back), find out which one of your 8 melee attacks (standard, post-dodge, mid-air and mid-sprint - all in 'light' or 'heavy' variant, so 8 in total) works best and spam it while dodging enemy's blows, repeat. I didn't go very far in this game; mayby it gets much, much better down the line. But. What if it doesn't or what if YOU are not willing to push through hours (I'm using word 'hours' a lot, don't I?) of mediocre gameplay? I know I'm not. What I am trying to convey: This isn't the worst or even a bad game. But. If you are not a fan of Souls-look-alikes, this game won't even try to change your mind and If you are - there is not guarantees you find any enjoyment here.
