amazing game
I have been playing it on gamepass and I got to say this game is amazing. From the art, music, sound, and general game design it is worth every high review score it gets. Yes it is short, I think I would buy it on discount but not full price due to that. It is however a great proof of concept that is has an interesting world, characters, and lore that has been sorely lacking from modern games. The developer should be proud of catching that magic and what they created. There are many nay sayers but honestly if you like adventure action games, especially in the vein of games before they became bogged down with world bloat, you should give it a try. For those worried about combat difficulties due to family or children, it can be fully modified to reach a comfortable level for players of all skill levels. I really hope the developers go to make another one that is more fleshed out in the future. Also to the people whom dislike the stop motion, it can be turned off for gameplay but is there during cinematics. It does give me a slight headache and at first I did think it was a game engine issue but it is a creative direction the developer chose. It works in some regards but definitely my one major critique. Camera controls do feel floaty but combat is snappy with interesting abilities. I am glad this got released. 8/10 overall, worth full price or picking up game pass for a month if you like the genre. to everyone else, wait for a steam sale but try it out, you may be surprised.
