After reading all the one star reviews, I think all this games issues can be summed up in, if you are smooth brained don't get it. "There's no map." Use your head. Remember landmarks, explore. "The combat is too hard" no it isn't, I didn't even upgrade my flask till mid chapter 4. You are trying to button mash and expecting a win. Go play assassin's creed. "It's too linear, no open world" I found a massive secret area with at least 4 bosses in almost every chapter. There's a TON to explore.
Probably will be Game of the year, and it will deserve it. Best description I can give is devil may cry and elden ring had a baby and it goes HARD
