Pretty good souls-like game. Very pretty animation.

I bought the game, and it turns out that the store had damaged all the game cases. Whoever opened the merchandise boxes cut into all the game cases. So if you are very careful with your collection of games. Make sure you look over the case before buying or leaving if it's a pickup. Don't want something damaged.

Went into this game as a huge fan of Bloodborne, my favorite Soulsborne game. It was a huge shock since it very much looks like a derivative, copied game but it is very much it's own entity.
At this point, you can't expect too many revolutionary ideas for the genre without it being cumbersome or annoying so I am very satisfied with the evolutionary, iterative ideas it brings. It strikes a fine balance between Sekiro's "we want you to play this game exactly one way" and the other Souls games of "choose whatever weapon you want, do what you want".
You can't just immediately transfer the same playstyle of Bloodborne over but your skills will transfer.
You can't dodge everything, you have to block sometimes. You can't block all the time, you have to perfect guard (NOT a parry). You can't stick to one weapon all the time and breeze through, you have to mix it up to be efficient.
You can choose one weapon and try to just dodge everything but You're Gonna Have a Bad Time. you just make it harder for yourself by not learning what the game wants you to do different (which is why you bought the game no?)
Frame rate was excellent, the variety of weapons is very nice and clever and the weapon assembly mechanic is WONDERFUL; you can swap out a blade you like for a moveset provided by a different handle and it plays much different. It allows you to experiment with different weapons while not being punished for your stat choices, since weapons scale damage off of your stats but also provide different special moves and stat benefits (like block reduction and speed). Graphically it looks wonderful and is far and away the best looking Soulslike out there. The art design and world are second to none and Bloodborne fans will be very satisfied. the clockwork/steampunk vibe is executed perfectly.
Sound is great and useful for enemy positioning, nothing extraordinary but the soundtrack is amazing. This in my top 5 soundtracks of all time, competing very favorably with the RPGs of yesteryear for overworld music and epic fights. The records you find as bonus collectibles sound like songs you would hear "in the real world" and Feel especially is one of the best videogame songs ever. It is THAT good, sets the mood and has high production value. They spared no expense on every aspect of this game.
Very satisfying Soulslike; you will definitely see and experience a lot of familiar beats but it has enough added to mix it up that you will come away feeling accomplished and enjoying the ride. Highly recommended for Souls fans!

I like this game a lot it’s definitely dark souls inspired but it still has its own twists and story. I haven’t even finished it yet because of how long it is, and compared to some ds games that’s amazing.

I’ve never played anything like this, but it grabbed my attention right away with its visual effects and combat. It’s a bit tough but that makes the game more enjoyable in my opinion.
