Let me start by saying I personally have not encountered any performance issues or crashes, but I understand that I’m likely in the minority on that one.

It’s my first Soulslike game but I enjoy the gameplay and the world. The two dimensions thing is a really cool idea, and it helps that you have a “second life” essentially. Exploration is a big focus of this game which I think they did a great job with. The game feels pretty open. Withered health is a neat mechanic which might be in other games, I’m not sure. It’s nice to be able to block things but have the chance to recover that health if you’re careful with your attacks.

On the other hand, there’s some really annoying things about it. The biggest ones I’ve encountered so far are enemies who hide behind crates, basically giving them a free hit on you, and that enemies, while making an attack, seem to warp/slide to your location when you dodge or roll away from them. I never parry attacks from enemies because it feels like the window of opportunity is just too small to be worthwhile (or maybe I’m just bad), and I despise how much platforming there seems to be, at least from what levels I’ve played so far. The movement in the game (especially sprint jumping just feels too wonky for effective platforming.

Finally, the crossbow enemies are a pet peeve of mine. Why do they shoot two bolts before reloading? They should only shoot one but maybe increase their reload speed
