It has everything working for it except the controls. Sometimes during combat or exploration your controls simply "stall". With controls being as unreliable as they are, the game has some platforming challenges that require the precision of a Jak or Mario game, while having the controls that just cannot keep up.

Combat is usually pretty fun though. Each of the boss fights have a lot of care put into them and can be really challenging if you don't build War and Strife up correctly. The level up system is pretty cool, as your level is tied to your abilities and Creature Cores which act as the Horsemen's gear.

If not for the platforming and lacking controls, I'd easily give this game 4 or 4.5 stars because the characters, art, and story content are all on point.

This does get me in the mood for a solo Strife game though. Hopefully one is coming soon.
