Atmosphere, characters, story, progression - it's all great! ENTER THE BUG Combat was a bit clunky but initially fine. Then I upgraded my swords skills and got the ability to parry. However, the recent update has bugged the ability. It is now impossible to block without making a parry animation except if you block for 2+ seconds. Sometimes I do manage to initially skip the parry animation if I spam the attack button, but after one strike, my character makes the parry animation without me having even pressed the button. This left me open to attacks ALL THE TIME in quite unpredictable ways. Combat started to feel like a chore. I quit the game after realizing that this wasn't just me having a hard time figuring out the mechanics, as I read that other (veteran) players experienced the same on both this and the Steam version. It doesn't only affect the sword skill, but also axes and staves. Wouldn't recommend the game until this is fixed. If it's fixed, then the game would easily be a 4 or 5 from me (being about 15 hours in).
