I loved this game. The setting is unique and the main character is one of my favorite in games. Selene is such a cool, determined character and I really loved the combat and effects. This was really the first 'next-gen' game I played on the PS5 and it didn't disappoint. My main issue is that it is a roguelike, but it doesn't have any replabilitiy. I really didn't feel any reason to go back through this game and only came back after my initial playthrough for the DLC which definitely helps me want to replay through it. But you can't really control or change builds to have drastically different play styles. You're still dodging and shooting with an active reload for the most part and that is it, with the variety coming from the enemies and biomes. I hope we get a sequel that turns it into a true roguelike, letting me focus on melee or dashing or tanking shots or being a glass cannon or something to add more variety that this game needed.
