I’ve been playing this game for a few days and it is one of the better gaming experiences I have had in a few years.
The story is solid enough. The gameplay is quite solid. The art style in unique in a good way. The blend of open zones and linear paths makes for a nice break from massive open world adventures.
The protagonist really opens up about 20% through. The human assistants she can summon are interesting. The nemesis is quite intriguing. The only lackluster character at 25% is Odin but that very well could change by end game - especially with the coming free add ons.
This is not a PS2 or PS3 like game as some have said. Anyone who played games during that time would clearly recognize this. Is it Gow Ragnarok? No… but that’s not what you can expect at this price point. It’s an AA+ game and we’ll worth any JRPG fans time.
I am taking my sweet time to play through the main missions and side quests with a keen eye towards new game plus. I will definitely grind this game to max out my character and all her weapons. The scoring system rewards those who maximize their potential.
Are we so quick to forget the pisspoor showing of Halo Infinite and outright garbage Bethesda has been releasing to the market lately? This will go down in history similar to many a first round draft busts.
