The gameplay in this is super satisfying and punchy but the game gets repetitive pretty fast once you're done with the first few dungeons and realize you're just fighting the same four enemies or so per area. It's like Hades meets Dark Souls, but without the variety or intrigue of neither. I like it though. It does what it sets out to do very well, but the main issue is that some other games just do it a bit better or in a more interesting way.

Been waiting for this for a while now and grabbed it the minute it went on sale. I normally wait for at least one review but I took a risk with this one and have really been enjoying it 👍🏻 Got it on Xbox mainly because I have Dead Cells and Hades on Switch (and it was only £14 on Xbox for some reason) but it seems like they've done a very good job of the Switch version compared to a similar title West of Dead which didn't look or run anywhere near as nicely. Good work. PS. Tell Rob he really needs to play Dead Cells and Hades ASAP!

hey just want to help you out. yes it is tough very tough and as for like dead cells no its not but if you like a challenge and enjoy some fast paced combat(not as fast as dead cells) then it is worth it. i have played about 100 hours while it was in early access on steam then i immediately got it for the switch when it released. if you do plan on purchasing than some advice is master the parry it in my opinion isnt as hard as he makes it sound it will save you time. just stayed in one room with two enemies and let them keep attacking me so i could learn to parry also if you think it cant be parried it probably can. i loved the light and dark mechanic while yes you take more damage in the dark there are relics in the game that play on that by giving you 15% 30% or 45% more damage if you are fighting in the dark. it is a fantastic game and i hope you give it a shot and i hope this helps.

I agree with you on the demanding parry window, though I'm surprised that the rating of the otherwise responsive control scheme took such a hit for this otherwise minor flaw. Similarly, while I would have also loved some respite from that unrelenting darkness, I do find the artstyle, with that heavy contouring, a joy to look at. Minor disagreements aside, great review as always. It's no Hades, granted, and the absence of narrative arc and engrossing characters is certainly something I did start lamenting after the first few runs -- but the methodic approach to combat, the weapon arsenal, and the curse system made this game memorable in its own rights.

And I know he said the parrying system needs to be worked on but in all honesty I don't really think it does while in the end everything could use improving I think once you get the hang of the visuals you have plenty of time to dodge and Parry everything.
