SpecsUpdate
Pros
Pro Amazing depth of combat and character build customization
There is a level of combat akin to fighting games in the amount of combat control. The game is considered an RPG because of the intense customization available for how the player builds the main character. Character growth includes finding and equipping spells, armor and weapons that can be upgraded through a blacksmith in towns, reuniting with various crew mates that each offer unique buffs or auxilliary attacks, and in depth character skill trees and attribute stats.
Pro Beautiful artstyle
The game looks amazing. The world and lore build an awesome story and it all ties together to create an immersive and engaging experience.
Cons
Con Super challenging combat
This could be taken as a pro or a con. There are a few difficulty levels but even on normal the game requires players to make full use of all their character growth options and expects quick reaction. I found a secret boss that actaully grows in power based on an untracked counter throughout the entire game. By the time I challenged the boss she was ridiculously powerful but i made it a point of pride to beat her. I'll attach a video capture of my fight to the media section.
Con Challenging, almost frustrating platforming
There are puzzles, often timed, that require a precision only obtained by repeated failure and mastery of the given situation.
Con Map is bad
To really find your way around you will likely end up using a map from an external site, as the ingame map only shows your current area.
