BX#15
Gothic Action-RPG

- This game has one of the most satisfying combat system ever: it's extremely polished, fast and customizable. The skill tree reset has no cost: for example you can change from a parry focused combat (Sekiro) to a dodge one (Bloodborne) based on the boss you're facing;
- The unique mechanics are great: wound-health bar forces you to use "heavy attacks" and to make fast combat decisions, plague weapons are many and diversified;
- The optional missions let you explore the same area in different ways with different mini-bosses;
- The lore is rich and inspired: the multiple endings add replayability since the game is very short (you'll finish this in 8-12 hours);
- The human-sized bosses are incredibly fun to fight even if some of them are completely optional;

BUT

- The gimmick-y boss fights can be annoying;
- The camera is stiffy especially in closed/smaller areas;
- No NG+;
- Small enemy variety.
