This game is deeply flawed and makes a surprising amount of mistakes that I had assumed this genre was past at this point. Impeccable art direction and fun level design do their best to carry this shambling monstrosity to the finish line but by god they just can't manage it.

+ Awesome art direction. The world, the armor, the enemies, everything looks fantastic
+ Decent boss design
+ Good Level Design
+ The kick is incredible
+ Great photo mode
+ Cool world/lore
+ Good VA

- Mediocre performance
- Extremely high enemy density
- Pathetic enemy variety
- Umbral world mechanic is a chore and forced extremely frequently
- Sound design is mixed (haha get it?)
- Animations are janky
- Movement is slippery
- No unique weapon movesets, always based on the weapon type
- Platforming... why?
