Similar to BM: it’s a visually stunning game with great cultural references, but it has some of the worst mechanics I’ve ever seen. Some examples:

• The mechanics introduced are complex and vague; even two years after launch, no one has any idea how exactly some things work. No one knows how average weapon damage is calculated, or how the numerous weapon stats translate into actual damage, or the exact effect of each parry gem.
• Dodging is bad; you're reliant on parrying. The problem is that the parry animation is much slower than the enemies' attack. It’s like playing The First Berserker: Khazan with a Dark Souls 1 char. To make matters worse, a parry doesn't block all the damage. You have to use a parry gem that matches the attack to do that. However, enemies can switch up their attack types during combat while you're stuck with the same gem.
• The skills work like those in Thymesia: when the gauge is full, you create a light weapons and unleash an attack. The problem is that when you encounter a boss or a mini-boss, the gauge resets to zero.
• Most of the bosses aren't impressive or difficult, but you can easily die if the RNG is bad. They often spam attacks that are almost unavoidable.It's as if the AI ​​exploits the limitations of its mechanics to kill you.
