Good

Balance this ♥♥♥♥. Being oneshoted very often by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ isn't fun tbh, everything else is great.

Backtracking in this game is insane even for a metroidvania. But this is not the reason why I can't recommend this game, the real reason is the one ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stealth mission where you are crippled and can't do ♥♥♥♥ except of hiding in the pots, it is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 40m long ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ where enemies are oneshoting you and you will need to repeat hiding process time and time again. WHY WHO THOUGH THAT THIS ♥♥♥♥ WILL BE INTRESTING???? AND 9 HOURS IN AND STILL NO DOUBLE JUMP.

And this game is extremely hard so be ware. (story mode is an option)

One of the best in genre.

Game is horrible, animations are horrible, performance is horrible (stutters, without dlss unplayable, 4080).
Why short sword feels not like a fast weapon but like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 30 tons hammer from any DS. Same about daggers why enemies have a lot of fast animations that you can't predict with insane damage (40-50% of hp) and you need 2-3s just to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ make a swing, and 10-15 attacks to kill them. Exactly the same issue from the original game. Movements are horrible too, each your swing makes 20 steps forward, and each move feels like you are doing it in slow motion like you are encumbered.
And ♥♥♥♥ the person who decided to add ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loading screen each time you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ resting ♥♥♥♥ you
Don't recommend

I've finished the game, got all endings, and can tell this game starts really slow and unenjoyable, but after 6-7 hours and few bs bosses, it completely transforms, and those first few hours of suffering are completely worthit. NG++ hits hard ngl.

DnD combat system is not suitable for CRPGs. A lot of time consuming unnecessary mechanics such as skills cooldown till you rest, so after each battle you will need to spend 10m just for nothing. DOS2 nailed combat system so much better. Damage numbers spread is ridiculous like it is completely fine to have numbers between 1-10 for each attack. Critical Evasion.

This is not Nioh, this is not Sekiro. This game combines the worst from Nioh such as level design add bad graphics and bad optimization and on top of it bad ♥♥♥♥♥♥ jump mechanics without any deep combat loop - here you have this game.
Combat loop is really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ here even compared to Sekiro... All what you do in this game is spamming lite attack with some skills to stun enemy, and sometimes deflecting attacks, no deepness at all.
If you were looking for a game like Sekiro or Nioh, I can't recommend it. Try the demo first and you will see everything that this game can offer, it won't become more fun over time, combat will stay completely the same from first to last mission.

Game isn't really good, story is meh, npcs are bad, optimization is ♥♥♥♥, magic system look really great from the start but in the end u don't see any differences between different spells... Only one really good aspect here is game decorations, not world itself but decorations. World here is not good, it feels like first open world ubisoft games from 2010, they didn't even add morality system, so just go and kill everyone with unforgivable curses no one cares. This game doesn't deserve attention it gets, 4-5/10 is max this game deserves.
