Honestly? The combat carries the game. In fact, I would say the combat alone is worth it. The story is a bit too convoluted for its own good; the pacing is also somewhat inconsistent. The enemy designs and the bosses are just as the combat is : phenomenal. The characters are very stereotypical of games like these; while not shallow, don't expect them to be profound either. The camera needs a bit of tweaking in the settings too, that's alright. But yeah, the combat goes hard in this game.
