EDITORIAL VIEW

Our take

Not hands-on reviewed. The official description makes absorption and parrying central to both combat and character builds. Organic environments and living weapons give it a distinctive identity; it may suit players who enjoy learning enemy patterns and exploring patiently.

An editorial impression to help choose a game, not a community score.
