Thighs.

Unoptimized, unpolished mess. Textures barely load in time, talking to NPCs was mostly like talking to ghosts as they didn't even load in time for the end of the dialog. Performance in general is abysmal even on low/medium settings. It's been this long and the game looks and feels worse than it did in BETA. Tragic.
I'll give it another year and then try again.... if it's still alive by then.

I've completed the Game some time last year, and only just now am writing the review. At this point it is on sale and oh my god should you get it!

PROS:
Soundtrack - Its just amazing, seriously.
Story - Fairly deep and enchanting one, it hooked me pretty well, and each stage is a challenge.
Mechanics - If youve ever played any of the soulsborne games, and liked them, then this may or may not be for you due to how these mechanics were altered for this title. I like them, they are less forgiving.
Visuals - Very polished, they have this certain cartoony feel to them at times, but it all goes together very well.
Difficulty of the game 1-10? 9 - Bosses are tough and can be really annoying once you lose your cool when fighting them. All enemies are tough as you are fairly underleveled compared to them, even pretty far in the game youll be struggling against some of them due to their patterns changing constantly.

CONS:
The pace of the combat - The reason i put this under cons is because it applies differently to each individuals appeals and what they expect from the combat. FROM YOUR perspective it will be slow if you dont have the right stats for the gear you are wearing, you will be VEEEERY slow and your gear will pull your down, you will be pulling your swings which will came in a great disadvantage against fast enemies but in return will make you give heavy blows if your attack was to land someday.
The Difficulty of the game again - Its difficult, you WILL be smashed, you WILL be devoured, you WILL be knocked off the map, and you WILL (at some points) be lost in the map trying to find where youre going and by accident running into even tougher enemies with your underleveled stats and gear.

My take on this. I absolutely loved the game, everythign about it, literally, from the very helpful beginning tutorial, to every last one of the annoying bosses and their retarded mechanics and minions. The game is brilliant, it is atmospheric, it is echanting, the story is grabbing, and most importantly, it gives you choice of how you want to approach the situation, the mob, the boss. I dont understand why so many people are moaning about crashes, mine did not crash even once, NOT EVEN ONCE, AND THATS NOT AN EXAGGERATION!!! Beautifully built world, beautifully mastered soundtrack, and amazingly polished mechanics to send you to the depths of your anger! RECOMMENDDD!!!!!

I hope this game gets banned in Russia ASAP! Other than that, 4k deagles rollin' ...
