This is my favorite action game combat, period
Literally everything you do in the combat is satisfying. They made magic FUN. I genuinely don't know how they pulled that off. Usually when I play action games I avoid blocking and parrying because I don't find it fun, but again, this game manages to do it right. The combat is fun and challenging for both normal fights and boss battles, which is harder to do than it sounds.

The plot is also very cool
