Started out weak and finished strong. Lots of platforming at the start and the platforming was god awful. It felt akin to if Ocarina of Time tried to be a platformer - not good. The further into the game, the more it felt like the combat became more of a focus, and combat was where the game shone. I love a good hack 'n' slash style combat system. One of the things I appreciated about the game that differs from some other hack 'n' slash combat games I have played is that bosses and enemies do not have "cheap" moves or will not spam a move constantly. I struggled plenty with enemies and bosses, however there was always clearly things that I could have done to counter or mitigate damage that was reasonable. I appreciated that a lot and made going through fights more worthwhile. I'd say the start of the game was more like a low 5/10 but by the end had ramped up to a solid 8. Looking forward to the other games and see how they built off of this first game.
