I spent almost 40 hours playing this game and despite liking it a lot, I have to admit that it misses a few right steps.

The game is beautiful! The art design of the entire game, environments, animations, bosses and heroes is utterly amazing! The soundtrack also helps to make you feel invested in it. The battle system is incredible and the challenge had the right dose of "tough, but fair". The system where you create swords is also great. Probably one of the biggest reasons why I took so long to finish it and, also, the game is packed with A LOT of content.

But the game suffers a lot from repetition. Levels, music, enemies and even dialogue. This ruined a lot of my enjoyment over time. It also "forces" you to grind to get all the endings, without actually giving you a good reason to, since the main story basically sucks. The DLC has some good tales though, but ultimately gets dull, as not all DLC pieces are fun to play.

In the end, this is a good game where you can spend hours and hours playing, but after you're done with it, you probably won't come back. Very easy to recommend it though, for the battle system and art design alone!
