9 stars for me. Even though it’s gotta be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a game. The main reason I’m docking any points is because I couldn’t get through a full playthrough without taking a few longer breaks. It’s just a bit too long if you want to complete as much of the game as possible (which is how I like to play games. I got 112% on hollow knight my first playthrough for example).

But the world building is amazing. I love the environmental storytelling. I love the weapons in this game. The boss fights are super fun. Though sometimes I hated them so much. Just with most other obscenely hard games, I remember the fights fondly now that I’ve beaten them. Great game. Will play again for sure.
