Old school action game in it's global structure (that's a positive), modern et sleek combat gameplay that don't rely on realistic movements or clunky hits.
Far from perfect overall, plot is fine but writing is cringe af, level design is meh, plateform sections are hard for nothing at times and the first 80% of the game are a bit too easy on the first run.
But combat is close to perfection, and the problems the game has are not enough to overshadow the main qualities and focus of it.
