started to play this game due to brilliant backgrounds and art style, but this game is just a torture machine for ADHD players... god i just can't grasp to enjoy the Point & Click this genre is so boring for me even though i love story-driven games, and this game embodies the worst of this genre by making slow walking and repetitive tasks and with pixel graphic who is maybe 64-128bit very hard to see things, it become even more frustrating to keep playing... i had a rough experience trying just to finish this game even though it's short, which is a shame.

This game don't want you to have patience, but to have Perfect Dance!
let me clarify you what do i mean by that.
A lot of people saying this is Souls like or being cheap copypasta to souls games i don't know if they either trolling or blind of the basics of the game
which is the important fact that this game don't have any Stamina and it is a big factore of how the combats completely different to souls games and,
like with souls games they are basically punishing you most of the time of being impatience, thus why you have to be patience and memorize the bosses moves to dodge the their attacks
and the perfect time to attack them without getting punished, which force you to be a passive player... with thymesia its the opposite. yes im not denying that you also need to memorize
boss attacks and when to attack but its not enough and the most important factore for you to win is basically having a good reaction to dodge the attacks.. with Odur you always need to
have perfect dodges to wreck him, being while i do that i felt like i was dancing against the boss which is very unique to experience, one of the best first boss of entire souls-like games, in my opinion that this style does have a higher skill ceiling than souls games, and more fun to me.

which was enough to convince me to give this game 3 stars which is very good to me, the missing two stars was everything about this
game other than the combat system, like the unfairness of some attacks of the boss which basically you cannot dodge it no matter what, which is very silly idea to put in, and the lore items, this is
something that a lot of indie developers misunderstood Dark souls fans... which was putting all their lores into book items, maybe people dissagree with me but
like jeez man im sorry but you are not Mayzaki i will not bother myself to read all of this shit so i understand the story because i don't know if its worth it or not, and also
because im here to play not to read a bible... and there's so many of book items which was very annyoign cuz you end up being dissapointed every time you gather something, takes long to realize that
game does not have armor or weapon stuff, its very lame, should have instead of the books, put the lore on weapons and armors, and also it does have cool cinematics for an indie company but no environmental storytelling
which is dissapointing because to me this is one of the coolest ways to show the lore which is by the way one of the strongest points of what makes Mayazaki an excellent storyteller.
eveything about this game are very flawed except of the combat which was perfect to me.

soulless dialogues
lazy designs
poorly written characters
empty game "not many items are there" and money is pure useless
cliche ambition villain edelgard "I have to do it because... why? umm I don't know but I have to do it even if I turn into a monster"
boring repetitive unchallengeable matches
...
holyy shit this game is so bad I can't believe how much praise this game got...

The Worst game in terms of character balance a company ever did. and also has so many garbage characters like Torbjorn, symmetra, mei, brig, bastion, and Moira cuz useless healer, junkrat is so dumb in design but my only problem is how he's easy to kill with ults, mercy cuz no skill involved, sigma cuz double shield ruins the fun of the game, Wrecking ball are too stupid in control maps, and yes even doomfist are so fucking stupid cuz it ruining the mechanics of the game too much. and many other characters too. it's like an endless list of garbage heroes' designs that has to be deleted completely not just reworking. The first season overwatch was garbage but way better than right now lmao maybe the only game when his fans want to blizzard to stop updating overwatch. I'm glad I stopped playing this shit.

there are a lot of people who call this game "bad game" quickly without putting any real reasons. like I get it this game UI is ugly and all that, but the characters are way more balanced than even overwatch, and they are all very fun and a lot of characters can play very differently also they have a cards system which is the smartest and unique move "Hi-rez" ever did and makes this game a lot different than any other competitive shooter like OW and valorant and csgo... etc, and all roles are very fun too. perhaps the only one game when it doesn't matter which role I play, cuz all of them are good and satisfying. which makes this a good game IMO but the only problem is how short matches are which makes it more fun casually but less fun competitively also the maps are bad and could be way better because some of the maps are unique and have great concepts and design but it's way very small. this game is already better than overwatch right now which makes it deserves and should have a "paladins 2" and fix all the problems and they focus more on UI and skins to attract people like LOL did and have good maps, it will be by far better than overwatch 2 to the point that people will stop it and transfer fo paladins. but goddamn it HI-REZ is so greedy and stingy to do that.
