Its funny how people complain about there are no good games anymore and games contains micro-transactions but when a small studio try to do something for what games are about people starts comparing it when massive AAA titles.
Thymesia stands on what it wants to offer calling it a dark souls/bloodborne/sekiro from Walmart is an insult to gaming community, people and youtubers who are doing this should be ashamed of themselves, pretty much every critic you will find are sold out douchebags who will never give a good game fair credit what they deserve until they fill there sacks with money.
Thymesia is a very interesting and fun game that everyone should try it have some problems but its not game breaking and as the time progress they will eventually fix it.

ABOUT THE GAME:

PROS
1-The game runs solid 60 fps no frame drop.(Yes this in the list dont tell me that other games dont have optimization issue even on their recommended requirements list)
2-Combat is solid you will struggle first few hours of the game because of how precise the parry mechanism is and that is frustrating but you can later on unlock fast parry from the talent tree and it should be fine
3-Game is short only if you don't complete the side quest but side quest is essential to get a good ending and some of the most challenging bosses and fun content is there
4-Story is if not top tier but acceptable a/c to the lore of the game.
5-Works pretty well with standard mouse and keyboard.

CONS:
1-Levels are extremely similar so it becomes confusing some time where you are heading, I recommend creating a single main quest with the level and adding all the other quest as optional as it will be simple instead of selecting it through menu.
2-No option to travel between bonfire so if you want to farm memory shards by fighting bosses you have to play through whole level
3-Fighting multiple enemies is a mess since area you fight in are so narrow and tight,there are no room of movement, unlocking bow early is must so you can take out enemies from distance.
4-There is no way to take out enemies with bow through a distance, most of the time the bow or feature will not reach the target and even if they land you have to go to them and finish them manually.
5-Enemies clip through walls during combat which does not break the combo but its annoying
6-The death blow cut scenes are fantastic but due to most enemies being in corner or while you are fighting them they will be clip to the wall the execution looks weird sometimes
7-The ending is disappointing with no cut scene i can understand they are under budget but this is a must feature that needs to be in the game because there are multiple endings so there should be at least a cut scene for the true ending.
8-The blocking in the game is useless as it works against the game lore so they need to remove it from talent tree.
9-If your pc crash there is a chance you can lose your save progress.

Summary:
The game is worth giving a try the problems are minor and combat is the highlight of the game its solid its responsive and it does what it promise.
