My biggest disappointment of 2023. You learn the basic mechanics and abilities in the first few hours, after which you're essentially stuck with them for the rest of the game. The timing mechanic provides some engagement the full way through, but even then the combat is extremely repetitive. It's not propped up by a good story either; ask me what it was about and I'd draw up a blank. Only saving graces are art style and music, but there's plenty of other indie titles I can look to for that.
