If this titile came out back in like early 2010s, it would have been more fun to play as everything in this game is outshined by other major titles like DMC and Final Fantasy. »👍 anonymous review · May 2026 · 66 h played1« Je comprend pas les avis négatifs le jeux est très bon Le gameplay est excellent, l’histoire est bonne les musiques excellent et le jeux est vraiment beau je m'amuse et c'est ce qui compte.

« I thought movement looked jerky because of frame drops but the walking actually just looks like that lmao. Walking and the camera are so bad it's honestly impressive. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2025 · 1 h played81« Frequent Crashing, for this PRICE, i expect a very good product, not a mediocre one. The content and Gameplay is also not worth the PRICE For Dev's out there: Don't Choose "PlayStation", "Microsoft" as publishers. Greedy Pigs in suits »👎 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 1 h played7« I waited over a decade for this. Yang Bing took all the inspiration from all the content he loved and then he threw it in the trash and made this thing. It's not even fun-bad. It just felt bad and was made bad. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 23 h played1« All these years of waiting for a game like this? It’s shameful. The only positive aspect, if the game ever gets fixed, would be the gameplay, environmental variety, and world building. Even so, I absolutely do not recommend buying it. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2025 · 28 h played1« This game has everything, I am the target audiance for this. If it wasn't for the poor combat mechanics, the foced animation lockouts It might be one of my favourite games. Combat is very clunky so I am refunding this for that reason alone »👎 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 1 h played1« J'en suis encore au début mais pour le moment le jeu est plaisant. Le gameplay est vraiment sympa. Graphiquement il est loin d'être magnifique mais n'est pas non plus totalement moche. L'histoire pour le moment est interessante. »👍 anonymous review · Nov 2025 · 6 h played
