This was the first game since me being a child to have me boince up and down on my bed with utter excitement. I had no knowledge of the series beforehand but I dives into everything afterwards once I beat the game I got sucked into being a massive fan. Hype hype hype. Complexity hidden under simplicity and so much polish and freedom in the combat. This was the game to improve me playing everything else and opened my third eye. It also reevaluated my thoughts on other games and their combat systems. Made me realise how low the standard is/ how many mistakes other games make when it comes to basic mechanics. I'm surprised it grabbed me so hard but I've played through this title around 18 times and that was the first time a game has pulled me so hard
