A fast-paced, lore-heavy action RPG with deliberate combat and story choices that shape a dark fantasy journey.

What players say

Players praise the lore and worldbuilding, but opinions are split on the combat and visuals. Many compare the 2016 graphics unfavorably to the PS2 era. The game persistently shows controller button prompts even for keyboard and mouse users, which frustrates PC players.
