it’s good overall, but it’s flaws hurt so much.

negatives: it’s open-world areas are so bad, idk if me disliking desert areas but having a true “sandbox” is an eyesore. lots of empty space 👎

story is something else, it’s a bit predictable but it’s also a lot of things at the same time and can’t tie those plotlines cohesively.

characters aren’t fleshed out a whole bunch, couldn’t be invested to the characters despite them looking cool :P

positives: excellent combat, the payoff for parrying is still satisfying countless fights later.

the music is incredibly good. it really amps up the atmosphere of a fight, especially the ones where you’re fighting another humanoid enemy.

there are a bunch of customization options: hair, eyewear, accessories, and like 30+ outfits. a little of everything for everyone. i personally stuck to the gothic/formal attire (cuz it took the entire fucking game to get, i’m gonna wear that shit)

the variety in bosses is a little lacking (4 repeats) but each of them are really cool to fight. even more rewarding to see the finishers eve performs at the end of each fight.

where the open world areas fail, the individual levels shine the most. pretty much any area outside of the wasteland is extremely pretty
