I'm very conflicted with this game.
It has a pretty good story with some very good moments, but it is dragged down by constant setbacks that feel like were there to get to the 20 hour mark.
The combat is enjoyable and the leviathan axe is probably the best weapon ever made for a videogame, but it is dragged down by a shitty camera that refuses to zoom away while fighting, forcing you to roll constantly to try to keep enemies on sight, and by making levels and equipment matter more than ability (putting loot and levels in a hack n' slash should be a crime with up to five years in prison). Also you have very little health on normal for an action game (compare it to something like DMC V or bayonetta) and the healing system fucking sucks.
As always, the AAA fixation with "more is better" ends up hurting everything it touches. All these problems would probably have been fixed if the developers didn't need to spend so much time in graphical fidelity or in worthless "content".
