Undercooked, misdirected game that wants to be everything, but fails to be just a good adventure game.

[+]
1) Character costumes
Phantom mantle looks the best.
2) Story is somewhat decent
The game tries to be a story-driven game, but still fails. There is just too much of it, and it presented poorly.
There were some not-so-bad parts. The story is one of the good aspects of this game, but everything else is trash, and that reflects on overall impression of the game.

[–]
1) Bad character movement
Character movement is awful, abrupt, lacks fluidity in animation.
2) Jump is useless
3) Animation lock
Animation lock is the hardest boss in this game.
4) Awful lighting
The lighting implemented so badly, you’ll need to adjust gamma constantly just to see anything, especially inside.
5) Bugged settings
Gamma setting does not save. Well, it does, but the parameter does not, so you need to reset it every time after the launch. And I think devs knew how bad the lighting is, but instead of fixing it, they added a “portable” light source into the game that will follow your character.
Sound settings are also bugged. It is so loud even at the low setting, I almost put it to 0.
FSR does not work. There is an option to turn it ON, though.
6) Cringe dialogs
The dialogs/monologs are very long and sometimes cringy.
7) Markings
Every box and item, and ladders are marked. Every ledge is marked with a white paint, that in some locations just straight looks out of place.
8) Awful camera
You cannot see the character's expressions/emotes during scenes, because the camera is locked and always put behind the character.
9) Lack of full voice-over
Only main quest story lines are voices, everything else (and there is a giant wall of extra dialog) is not voiced at all. The reading of extra dialogs or extra materials alone will take at least 2 hours of play time.
Plus, there is a lot of yapping to listen to.
10) Press & hold
Most of buttons, for some reason, are press & hold. I just don't understand the reason behind this, it's so annoying.
11) Fake free choices
The game says you can choose where to go first, when presented with multiple choice, but in actuality you need to complete one of presented quests first in order to progress to other quests/areas...
12) Static Echoes
The Echoes are presented just from one angle. You can only move your character to get close, but cannot rotate in any direction... Some design choices in this game are... unbelievably stupid.
13) Useless shortcuts
Why are there shortcuts in this game when you can teleport? As I said above, this game has thoughtless design.
14) One-move bosses
The bosses in this game are a joke. Only the last bosses are somewhat challenging, but that challenge is also forced, because they just spam you with skills.
15) Colorless voice-over
The VA performance is bad. It seems that they just recorded their lines, so every dialog sounds just like a monolog.
16) Bugged lock-on
Lock-on in this game sometimes just does not work. At all.

Conclusion: 4/10

A very good game for the money it costs, especially with a discount.
The only pity is that there is no Ukrainian localization

Dark Souls meets Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Some decent bosses too with lots of exploration possible. It tells you what quests are open on top left of the screen and more importantly what you need to be doing. Its a little slow at first until you open the power to teleport which reduces the amount of wandering you end up doing to get out of the "shelter." Also, the story really picks up then also. I would definitely recommend. I got it on sale for less than $10 which was a bargain.

very gud
