The Glitch

[Does Contain Spoilers] I got this game as a free game on Epic Games and went in expecting little on the game play department. What I got was a very fun concept that was executed in a weird manner. I enjoyed the ability to string up powerful attacks and liked the variety of the enemies. This is however where issues began to arise. For some ungodly reason, I had trouble with tethering in certain spots on most battles, unable to start / end a tether on certain spots. This became extremely apparent and very annoying when attempting to use Essence Runes to actually use my companions abilities. The same issue was occurring with using the spells themselves, having to stand on very specific spots to be able to activate the spells. This isn't too bad on it's own but when the game is "Fast-Paced", it can very quickly add up and lead to your demise. The Story was very healthy most of the way through, giving good depth to the characters and allowing for genuine connections. The Liza Plot Twist was very sudden and made little sense when first introduced, and even an hour after completing the game, it still doesn't sit right with me. They also attempted to do a bit with one of the characters starting to turn into a Grievance, but it went nowhere really fast and was easily a forgettable moment. In All, the game was fairly short and filled with great ideas that had some rough edges to polish but was very enjoyable for a free game but only enough to get a three star from me
