Aeterna noctis is a game that should be incredible just by looking at the artstyle, animations and so on. But the game is unfortunately tedious for the sake of being tedious. Combat feels weightless, the controls are infuriating (using analog stick to teleport around especially felt really akward), the world is big just for the sake of being big. There are qualities in this game. Some of the bosses are fun to learn, some areas are gorgeous and fun to explore. However there are more tedious and annoying areas than good ones. Also good luck figuring out where you are supposed to land when platforming because the foregrounds are filled with clusters that will make sure to distract you and annoy you.
