Baffling. Simply baffling that this game has “mixed” reviews. I would understand “mostly positive” because of some jankiness and simple combat, but “mixed” is just disrespectful. There are some games that you can tell are made by gamers first and artists/storytellers second, and some games that are the opposite. This is most certainly an artist first game. The lore is incredibly deep and intriguing, the art direction is top notch, and the world itself is well put together. But the moment to moment gameplay leaves something to be desired. It has simple combat with every weapon having the exact same moveset, just some quicker or slower than others. It has janky collision and enemies are incredibly easy to stunlock most of the time so the game is quite easy except for a couple boss fights. I do want to take a moment to praise the boss fights. For a game that has generally middling combat, the bosses are actually both fun and challenging. The exploration is also a lot of fun as long as you don’t mind if the rewards you get for it are yet another useless item. I don’t mind that, for me the exploration is the reward and just the experience of learning the map and seeing new areas. But if you play a game like Elden Ring and get annoyed at yet another arteria leaf or cookbook then this game does no better in that regard. Last thing I’ll say is that I really liked the music, there just wasn’t enough variety. I definitely recommend this game (especially since it goes on sale for $3, like come on) if you’re at all interested and are ok with a little jank here and there.

I grant you it doesn't have the most complicated combat in all of gamedom dark souls or sekiro it is not, but the looks and general vibe are awesome and if you want to play a bit more simplified game then either of those games this one is just fine; Game difficulty is not a mark of quality just because it's hard doesn't mean it's good nor does and easy game means it's crap.

The combat is not as good as it should be for a souls like, but the level design is very good. I really enjoy the world building and overall visuals, I never thought data-fantasy was something i wanted until i saw this game. Please give this game a shot if you see it on sale, it is full of performance issues and bugs that can get frustrating at times and will leave you feeling cheated if you buy it full price. Despite the bugs and mediocre combat, its one of my personal favorite games to come back to replay.

Ok, after playing an additional 18 hours of this, and being on track to finish the game i feel the need to rewrite this review. Originally i did not recommend this because the irksome 2d sections which did nothing but aggrevate me by forcefully locking the camera. and then comming to the open world section that really tanked my FPS to below 50 on a high end system that ran everything on a sweet 144fps till then. those grievances still stand, and luckily after playing the open world some more, it's not constantly below 50 fps, just in certain spots looking at certain directions. However what made me turn this to a thumbs up is because the story is just so interesting to me and it got me hooked. and the visuals also are quite charming. if you're on the fence, get it on a sale and there's a good chance you won't regret it in the end.

Seeing a lot of negative reviews, sadly putting this game just and just into "mixed" tier, most of the negative reviews do have valid criticism of the negatives this game has, but I urge you especially on the 2025 summer sale in which the game only costs 2.50€, I urge you to give it a try. Keep your expectations in check when going in, but when you accept that this game is a product of a passionate team that took a tad bit too large of a challenge to create a game this size, you will find a lot of passion, art, character, and one of the most fun and beautiful world and exploration I have experienced. It really invokes a primal feeling to having to explore outside of the given path, and letting you totally do so. Also the character portraits are insanely beautiful. I am quite taken a back by how under the radar this game has gone. it even has a hoverboard.
