Enemies are cool and all have own look and all have own attacks to learn to avoid and will chase you and group up to rush and corner you.

Story is cool and interesting from start to finish.

Controls are nice and responsive and easy to understand not to complex.

Ability to travel between is cool and very useful as can help open new paths or shortcuts and so much more and both realms have own look and feel especially the Umbral where if you stay in there to long are hunted by a REAPER.

World is pretty and full of secrets and fun to explore as all areas have own enemies and look and feel to them.

Armor is cool as has very unique look and own stats and own feel to them.

Weapons variety is impressive and can be upgraded and all have own look to them and own scaling to be good for builds and all have own feel and can even make boss weapons which look and have own stats to them aswell.

Can be daunting as alot of things to learn such as stat requirements to use stuff and attack patterns.

Challenging as boss fights and even just normal enemies will wreck you and group up or try to corner you so expect to die alot.

Annoying block/parry system I struggled with as everytime you block you take damage unless you perfect block or parry which is hard you can recover health from attack the enemies however for me not liked that using your shield will damage you.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall for £59.99, has a cool story and enemies are cool with own look and attacks the controls are very responsive and the ability to switch between the realms is very cool as they are awesome and own feel to them and has cool and unique looking and feel to the armors and weapons. However the block/parry system is annoying and alot to learn which can be daunting and is a very challenging game from bosses to enemies and you will die alot.
