A refreshing game that, as many reviewers said, feels like it comes from the mid to late 2000s era in the best way. Except with modern graphics, and it looks gorgeous. A linear experience with super fun combat and that's it, no collectathon or padding out or microtransactions, we need more games like this. It's also nicely paced with regular new skills and weapons and by the end it feels awesome to use your whole arsenal at once.
The story is interesting enough, you can ignore it and have fun but there's also plenty of lore if you wanna get into it and they have some nice ideas, with cool character designs.
The level design could use more work, it gets a bit predictable with the periodic large arenas where you fight hordes of enemies before you explore a bit more and then repeat. It also stops introducing new types of enemies a little too soon for me and the later levels just do the "let's spawn the biggest amount of enemies you fought before all at once" thing over and over and that always throws me off and makes me lose interest when I just wanna get to the end, which is why I quit before the last level, since I felt like I had experienced everything it had to offer. But overall still a very nice game and I hope we get more like this.
