A good 4/5

Honestly the story is good, the art style is great, and for the most part it works really well. Though sometimes certain buttons don’t work all that great, like having a hard time grabbing someone. But other than the few little issues it’s a great game

Good so far!

Just started, really liked it but the first boss was tough with my CRKD Neo S controller because double fwd to run is not reliable. Switched to PS5 controller and seems much better.
