I've come back to edit my review now that I've been able to complete the game, my original review was saying that I personally couldn't recommend the game to anyone due to the amount of bugs, but I've changed my mind.

Reanimal is a great game and experience with absolutely incredible atmosphere and themes, a lot of the time I caught myself sitting still or deliberately taking my time going through areas because of how blown away I was with how incredible some of the environments were. There were moments where my heart was pumping hard because of the adrenaline rushes I was having from some of the encounters in the game. The gameplay feels engaging and weighted, even more so than Little Nightmares. however the gameplay is where I have some critiques with the game.

- I don't feel the price is worth what the game has, especially considering the season pass being expensive too.
- This game feels like a singleplayer game with co-op just tacked on, I feel the characters really have zero differences from each other outside of animations and the few moments where they're doing something different, which to be honest, is what I expected. I didn't expect Tarsier Studios to do the most innovative form of co-op gameplay, I feel what we have is alright, but I wish there was something more.
- The boat feels incredibly clunky to control, however I personally have no clue how that could be improved.
- Combat is incredibly simplistic to the point of where it's just button mashing, I know this genre isn't meant to be a fighting game, and I really don't want it to have complex mechanics like that, however... I feel an extra mechanic being involved would've made the few fights that actually happen feel much more fun and impactful (maybe the enemies would lunge whenever attacking, so you could have dodging...?)
- There are moments in the game where I have no clue what I am supposed to be doing. Sometimes I feel like the player isn't given enough direction, primarily just where to go, but this genre has always been known for not doing the best job with that, so I can't judge too much.
- The game is incredibly optimized but greatly struggles whenever loading things, this is most prevalent during chases and the finale, I was blocked out of completing the game because of it during my playthrough, having to start a new save file and pick the previous chapter and replay back to where I was.

I do plan on completely finishing the game, grabbing all of the achievements, so I might possibly edit this review whenever I do.
