wait for performance fix tho

This game is a very good experience overall where you really feel the passion and love put into it by the developer.

Gameplaywise combat did come off as a little clunky at first but when you understand it it is a fast and thrilling experience overall, the bossfights that require a lot of movement are the moments where it shines the brightest. I think that the way aggresiveness is rewarded makes a nice nuance to the formula and makes this feel like it is truly something unique. The enemies telegraph their attacks pretty well, it didnt feel unfair at any point of the game. There is also a great variety of enemy types with different attack patterns. There are unlockable moves that provide some customizability.
Traversal is fun, enemies feel well placed the jump and run parts are nice aswell, even though I disagree with being reset to the last bonfire when you touch a spike.
The game doesnt hold your hand, there is no minimap, zone map nor quest marker just a world map and collected hints in the narrative tab of the menu.
The story and the writing is the icing on the top of the experience because the characters have just an overall lovely and charming vibe. Also chosing an unreliable narrator was such a good idea.

This game is a masterpiece and I hope it gets the support it deserves.
