What players say

94% of 277,762 reviews are positive · 94% of 1,847 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the deflection-and-posture combat, challenging bosses, and the sense of improvement that comes from mastering them. Common complaints focus on the steep learning curve, the narrow combat style, and areas or encounters that can work against stealth and one-on-one fights.
