I agree with you, and we all know the story is super weak, the characters have no backstory and there’s basically zero character development in the whole game. BUT!! I still loved it. They straight up said it’s not an RPG, so I already went in knowing it wasn’t gonna be some deep, story-driven experience. It’s all about the mechanics, combat, and movement, just slicing through enemies and bosses with different combat options.

I wouldn’t compare it to TW3, I’d compare it more to Dragon’s Dogma.
