I am near 40yr old and starting to lose grip on most fast pased action games, however, the balance of this game has been nothing more than top notch. 1 You cannot swing your sword mindlessly, which makes sense, enemies do die without too much problem, but an attack does not only knockback enemies, but expose you to another enemy. 2 Healing, you dont get unlimited healing or auto healing, but there are numerous healing/medical box that you can carry on. Its upto you to expand the number you can carry or spend on skills that gives you the edge on the battle. by 3 hrs in, i had absolutely no issues walking around, and boss battles were challenging but not demanding to be rage quit like some games do. Art wise, this is what game should be, not 3D, but beautiful and shows how the game should be. It doesnt have voice acting, 3D graphics, AAA budget but its one of the top game I would recommend to play on 2016. Little Cons 1 it.. doesnt explain background story AT ALL. you either need to imagine what the hell is going on, or go find forums post how people think the back story is. 2 there are some maps/areas that isnt really clear where you can go. you wont fall initially but you may in the later stage when you want to find that "SECRET" passages. 3 I played on PS4, I cannot imagine playing with keyboard, controller is a must.
