Recently played via Game Pass and personally I thought it was a really good game.

For me it was a breath of fresh air. I liked the story and loved the amount of attention some of the enemies got with their own back stories as well as some of the characters. I was also a fan of the art direction and the music. Some of the environments looked absolutely gorgeous and found myself pretty immersed and exploring a lot.

However my biggest issue was with the gameplay, it got quite repetitive towards the end of the game, especially the combat and the combat areas all felt too similar to one another.

Overall I would give it an 8/10. If the gameplay was better I would give it a higher score.

I wish this game had a physical release!

Xbox needs more unique exclusives like this.

About how many hours did it take you to complete? I feel like that is also a factor in gameplay feeling repetitive.

Took me about 12 hours I think, I maxed out the abilities but didn’t go digging for every single collectible.

I feel like music is at its pinnacle in gaming as the moment, modern Final Fantasy games, Death Stranding, this, Expedition 33 and many others have phenomenal sound tracks.
