Short and very easy. Might need to replay it, as they've added new content.

EDIT:

Replayed it, but I do not remember this game being so fucking difficult. Most of the bosses are piss easy, but the actual areas are extremely punishing at times, especially at the start. I enjoyed every single thing about this game, except for:

- NG+ mode, that for no reason actually removes your fervour and health upgrades, which is complete nonsense, since it leaves you with everything else.
- The puzzles are complete ass, most of them don't really make sense and I had to look up the solutions.
- Missable/time-sensitive/multiple ending quests. Pretty self-explanatory methinks.
- The hit detection is at times bullshit either from my swings, or the enemies attacks.

What I really enjoyed was the phenomenal visuals, the deep connection to Spanish religious mythos and the great OST. Up until NG+, I was really enjoying the game, but deleting half of my character progress whilst simultaneously giving a bonus penitence to choose (I know there was a "No penitence" option, but I thought it'd be more fun to choose one of them since I was supposed to be as strong as the final NG version, theoretically) just makes the game unbearable to play. The enemies just become sponges, even with a fully upgraded mea culpa and offer no new attacks (at least that I've seen), so it's just booooooooring and hard for no reason.

Just don't play NG+ and it's still a good game.
