Not sure how to describe my emotions after beating the game but more or less it was okay. It took me somewhat about 22-24 hours to clear 98% of the map and beat the final boss. I'd say 3.5 out of 5, but let it be 4 out of 5. Pros: + stylish game and visuals overall + music + pretty okay combat + variety of shards/skills/combinations to build your character and switch different styles in combat Cons: - story/narrative - omg, below average imo - grind, too much grind while you are going there and back all the time - certain bosses were super easy while some random mob could 1-shot you or kill you form 2 hits - a couple of crashes, very frustrating towards the end of the game when you need to spend quite some time to get to the checkpoint where you can save your progress. Probably not really my genre but still a decent game. Would not play it the second time though.
I will be short - first game was fun until a certain point but after a certain moment it was just copying itself over and over again, becoming repetetive and boring at times (although the ending was okay). The second game may start a little slower but then you are going to be consumed by it to a point where you want to play 1 mission in the evening - and it is almost the time to wake up and go to work =) Visuals are fantastic in 4K resolution with HDR, the game is also well optimized. It easily gets the spot in my list of most fun action games along with Bulletstorm, Far Cry: Blood dragon, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. You can play it equally fine with the mouse & keyboard or a gamepad. The final boss fight scene and music just made my day ^_^ P.S. The only thing I hate about this game - drones, annoying little bastards...
