This game is so annoyingly unique. It's got such a fun control scheme and the world, the story, and the mechanics are all so tightly executed. I want to play more games like this but there just aren't any. It's maddening.

Side note: The importance of impact (sound design? gamefeel?) is everything here. The combat is all about circling and positioning. If hitting an enemy in the back wasn't so meticulously satisfying the whole game falls apart.
