I dread boss battles in most games. The hyper specific weak points, the extremely narrow parry windows, the bloated health pools, the poorly telegraphed attacks, one hit kill mechanics, cheesy/extremely gamified animations to make the game difficult but make no sense from a momentum standpoint. None of that’s for me,
I really like the characters and feel of the combat. If timing is not your strong suit, you will struggle, but the easy mode isn't at all easy, at least later in game.
The game's strengths undoubtedly lie in the incredible boss fights, its design, the parrying and slash mechanics, the cinematic and breathtaking cutscenes, the characters (with impeccable facial expressions), and the narrative.
Everything else is, unfortunately, bad or, at best, mediocre.
The level design and exploration are among the worst I've ever seen;

Capcom managed to codify entire sub-genres with Street Fighter [1v1 Fighting], Devil May Cry [Character Action], etc, and I believe now they picked up what
Very well-made game with incredible combat, great bosses, incredible enemy variety and so many styles of fighting with a sword, genuinely a great game.9/10

Awesome. Very satisfying game with no BS and un-necessary filler.
The swordplay has its moments, but everything around it feels like padding. You spend most of your time clearing forgettable enemies, collecting crafting junk from lifeless corners, and slowly uncovering the map through the same tired routine.
