FAN ART
PROS
Story is fun and interesting.
Enemies all have own attacks to learn to avoid and all have own look to them.
Weapons and items all have own look to them and easy to understand as not to complex just straight upgrades.
Ignis system is cool and unique as more you fight higher it goes meaning more damage you do but way more damage also taken cool risk reward system.
Challenging game that doesn’t hold your hand.
Art style is pretty and very detailed.
Puzzles in paintings is a cool system and is a fun different way to solve puzzles.
World is fun and full of secrets to find and explore.
CONS
Combat feels clunky, slow to attack.
Can be frustrating as easy to die in couple hits or from traps in the world.
OVERALL SUMMARY
I GIVE THIS GAME A SCORE OF 8/10
Overall has a cool story, puzzles are cool as solving them by jumping into paintings is different and fun and the Ignis system where you take more damage but do more damage is a interesting risk and reward system also has cool enemies and weapons, items. However combat feels clunky and slow to attack and can be frustrating as very easy to die from enemies and and attacks.
