Have you ever wanted a rousing game of Paper-Rock-Scissors, where you know ahead of time what the other guy is gonna pick?
Ya, that's this game.
This would have made for an excellent Anime series. But a game it does not. There's no reason to even fight 95% of the stuff out there, no reason to loot stuff off the ground nor pick up chests. This leads to nothing but *really* long runs to each successive boss. The fights are mostly paper-rock-scissors. I essentially never use items nor skills, just basic attacks that cancel the monsters ability to attack.
I'm gonna try to finish out the rest of the game, but at the 20 hour mark it's pretty boring.
Game looks incredible. I enjoy the story, and the storytelling is great. Vivid and unique armors and weapons... but combat is just incredibly dull.
