I really, really wanted to like this game, and there are things to like. Its combat system is very robust and at a high, technical level offers a lot of depth. But the stuff you can do if you lab the game daily and play with a claw grip just doesn't absolve this game of its massive flaws in level design and in enemy design (which ends up detracting from what would otherwise be an extremely satisfying combat system)
There was so much potential, and also so much realized potential in the possibilities of its combat system, that I feel bad giving this game a 6/10 but I find it hard to rate it higher while still being honest about the game as a whole.
