Unforgiving yet Satisfying
This is the type of game that does not hesitate to make regular enemies capable of dealing half your HP in one hit and preparing another while you're still reeling from the first attack. And this is on the recommended difficulty. The key to combat is to avoid attacks by Dodging or Parrying, and then counter-attacking when you know it's safe. Once you master those, combat is responsive, and looks and sounds great. Likewise, exploration is also unforgiving due to the death-clocks every character has. In 72 in-game hours, that old lady who sells you combat-enhancing Cogs will be gone. In 152 hours, your helpful fairy companion will no longer be there to give you hints. Every second in real time is a minute. Each new area you travel to is an hour. And every death is multiple hours. Luckily, there are difficult to find items that will add an additional 24 hours to the robot's lifespan. Give them the items and they will provide discounts or even help out in combat. And if deadlines make you anxious (like me) there is an Explorer's Mode that removes the time limits. There are also items or weapons that aid, or are required for, exploration. A shuriken you can control where it goes to hit switches, an ice grenade that lets you make platforms in water, a giant spin top you can ride on. The story does take a backseat, only really appearing when you defeat a boss. But in a game as open as this, that is perhaps the best way to tell the story. Overall, a game that demands you master it but is immensely rewarding once you do.
