I love this game. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The graphics are spectacular (runs buttery smooth on both my R9 370 and 1060 rigs), the music (by Andy LaPlegua of COMBICHRIST) is subtle, gorgeous and many times terrifying and the story is unlike anything I've ever seen in gaming. It's the closest thing I've seen to a playable movie in quite a while. At first glance one might say this is just a really pretty button-smasher; the fighting mechanics are simple enough that one might almost consider them an oversight. I mean sure, you fight...I'm most reminded of that old iOS unreal engine showcase INFINITY BLADE; guard, dash, slash and hack. Those are your options. However I don't think the fighting is supposed to be the star of the show here. The star is the rich, detailed story and the beautiful-yet-dreadful setting. It gives me a bit of an old-school CASTLEVANIA vibe actually...where you want to pause the action sometimes just to stare at the scenery. At $30 you really can't go wrong. Ninja Theory's goal was to create a top-class game on a shoestring budget costing gamers half of comparable titles and I'd say they accomplished that and then some! All in all a wonderful experience and I can't wait to see what they do next!
