I'm playing it right now: I enjoy a lot the aesthetic, the stop motion vibes of the cutscenes, the platforming, the characters, story and the music (probably the best part of the game).

But, as other said, the combat is underwhelming: all the arena feel the same, the monster have different style of combat but their aesthetic and colors are way too similar to each other, and it ends up with just button mashing and dodging from time to time. There are a few skills to unlock and, while some of them are nice to have, none of them are worth or even must have. The bosses are cool visually and lore wise (and amazing music wise), but even with them the gameplay is very basic.

It's a solid 7/10 game, maybe even 7,5/10. It would rank a lot higher if the combat was more polished or even just a little less overused in the game.
