An extremely visually unique game with a beautiful soundtrack and some cool designs, but a little bit jank on the gameplay side. Kind of the textbook "presentation over gameplay" game; while the gameplay is present here more than like a walking sim or something it's extremely bare bones. While the death recovery mechanic is cool (and plays into frustrated button mashing), it's so easy to pull off it does make it hard to actually die which conversely seems like the fights had to be more tedious and prolonged. There is a pattern to follow, but to me fights took way longer than they should have and it eventually became more annoying than fun. Would be a great game to own the artbook for and the soundtrack, but only get the game on sale if ever.
