Got it on sale, wish I didn't get it at all. This game, being only 5 or so levels long, is a complete slog to get through. The only redeeming quality of the combat are the finishing moves, which get old pretty quick. It feels like they wanted to make a typical third-person shooter but decided last minute to include melee combat. The literal selling point of the game feels like an afterthought. You're constantly being lit up from five other angles while trying to have a sword fight, and you can't even engage in melee properly because your target breaks out of strings for no clear reason. I've got a TON of thoughts about my experience, but to keep it short, I wouldn't waste my time on it no matter how heavy the discount.

It looked promising. I was looking foward to play this game but once I was able to get it in my hands I was disapponted.

The game looks really nice with It's setting taking place in like Retrofuturistic Hong Kong which already tells It's gonna be cozy. What I can praise this game for is interesting character design although their dubbing feels like If They took random people and told them to read their lines the most normal way possible which makes it pretty funny to listen to.

Those are big positives about this game but the negatives outweight them.

What I find really difficult to enjoy about this game are the controls which are horrible. They are clunky and unintuitive on both keyboard + mouse which can be remapped and the controller which is the dumbest way to play Third or First Person Shooters. Mix it with 2 lives per save, dumb AI enemies which have aimbot and move from cover to cover, put some random grenade throws causing tinnitus and you got some most annoying combat to deal with.

Not the game worth of your or mine time.

one of the games of all time
