The art direction of this game is sensational!
the music is peak and varied, gameplay gives a bit of a challenge for a turn based veteran like me, and there’s still plenty of humour and light-hearted moments in a game full of melancholy, sadness, and struggles.
I can understand it’s not for everyone though, the parry system is quite a bit tricky to get a good timing.
If I remember correctly, parries and perfect dodges have the same timing window. It’s just that messing up a perfect dodge still leaves opportunity to regular dodge, which is safer than parrying by far.
