If you look beyound all the dirt this game piles unto itself you actually have a decent combat system with some great mechanics like how it handles weapon switching. But at the end of the day there is a lot of dirt to dig thorugh, like a terrible story tat makes you wonder what drug was going around the writers room, a terrible artstyle every where you look, boring level design and incredibly dull boss fights, and just to add insult to injury these are all things that the original DMC series excelled at.

A pretty decent game, the combat feels good, blending stealth and TRPG mechanics perfectly, building your team over the course of the game into a force to be reckon with is also pretty satisfying. Unfortunately the game is pretty basic with not much room to expirement hurting its replaybility and the story is pretty bad, it's a very generic post apocalyptic story with an incredibly obvious final plot twist and the ending is a shitty cliff hanger (aperantly the DLC continues the story but its almost as expensive as the game itself).

Once you look past all the hype this game is basically a ubisoft open world. The exploration is admittedly really fun and addictive and the world design is pretty good but unfortunatelly everything else is pretty average: combat is extremelly basic, the RPG elements are incredibly shallow which makes the rewards for exploring really lackluster, traversing the world is boring unless you know how to pull off bomb jumps and other such techniques, the puzzles are so easy anyone over 12 should figure any of them in under 1 minutes and most of them being confined to small shrines means no big dungeon wide puzzles the series was so good at in the past and to top it all off the game runs terrible, sub 30 fps 90% of the time for a console launch should be unnacceptable.

It's still an enjoyable experience but if im completelly honest if this didn't have the Zelda brand attached to it no one would have cared about it after 1 month. (the japanese clips on twitter are funny though)

Genuinly a game that takes everything the series built in the last entries and takes it to the next level: more engaging combat mechanics, more consistent level design, fun and satisfying exploration and a gorgeous world.
Unfortunately the game is not without its flaws: there is an imbalance when it comes to builds with magic having way more variety than dex/str, there is variety for these builds but it doesnt feel good when you have to stick with the same dex/str weapons for hours on end while the game showers you with new spells and magical weapens after nearly every boss and dungeon; worst of all though it's the camera, its still the same one that worked for Demon Souls and Dark Souls1 but hanst been properly updated to deal with the changes every other game has done to level and enemy design and its still incredibly frustrating here.

If you have ever played another action game, know any star wars story beisdes the movies or even better played a good star wars game this one will feel really underwhelming.
The story barely exists in the first ten hours (afterwards it admitedly gets good but at that point theres maybe 3 hours left), the combat is extremely basic with a lot of jank to it and the character progression is beyond boring with very linear skill trees and the only force powers you get are push, pull, slow and double jump (yes your last force power unlock is just a double jump)
Game is also extremely buggy (at least on PS4, havent played the other versions), im talking clipping objects, t posing enemies, bugged out cutscenes, crashes, the full works.
It's still an enjoyable experience but far far away from games like KotOR, force unleashed or the old battlefronts, go play those instead if you haven't.
