Now this was a real treat. I felt like I was being reminded of some classics such as Nightshade and P.N.0.3. This game surpassed my expectations of what I assumed was going to be a semi-decent Soulsborne game but the combat and exploration made the game stand out more in the genre.

The narrative for the game was generously well put, although it was rather too linear and easily predictable especially towards the end. Most of the side quests are very forgettable and not as interesting aside from maybe a few.

Most of the characters were rather one dimensional with some notable characters could've benefited more with actual development since there was some writing potential. Everyone's designs however are superb though.

OST is a banger.

The overall experience was great nonetheless. I'm really glad SHIFT UP managed to pull off such a well made single player game considering South Korea studios are more interested in mobile or MMO games instead, so this was a nice change of pace. Here's hoping more studios (Including International) will follow their example by creating actual games and not the usual AAA shovelware.
