The demo was so fun! I appreciated how satisfying the attacks felt, and was completely immersed in the story.
This demo set the bar high for me! The action gameplay felt great, and I can tell there's a plenty of secrets to uncover.
The controls were smooth overall, but switching between wall jumps and wall climbing felt a bit clunky. I hope they improve that.
The weight of each attack felt amazing. I pre-ordered the game as soon as I finished the demo!
