one of the best gaming experiences i ever had this game will stay in your heart for a long time.

STORY
The story is about a long time civilization called "Solarians" an anthropomorphic cat-like race well technologically advanced
Trying to find a cure for the tianhuo virus that is decimating their entire race, so they decided to establish a council composed by 10 Solarians and each one with their role. the protagonist of this adventure is YI one of council members the ideator of a project called "Eternal Cauldron" which solarians could rest in a eternal dream for delaying the virus spread and having more time to find a cure. Yi will get betrayed by his mentor eigong (she is the most important member of the council), after several hundred years Yi will wake up by hearing a flute that reminded him about his sister and decided to start his jorney to obtain all the "nine seals"

I did a super summary of the introduction the story is well explained through dialogues and cutscenes.

GAMEPLAY
The Gameplay IS PURE JOY they really mixed sekiro to a metroidvania so for me was a strong buying point, also the movement is very good the more you progress in the game more things you will unlock like: Double Jump, Air Dash, Invicible parry. everything is smooth and well animated, even the exploration is good very intuitive especially the first 4 main areas well connected to your "Home" and you can access them only if you have certain abilities so you will never go too far from the main story and bosses. AND THE BOSSES are so damn good i liked all of them except 2-3? good mechanics good learning curve (at the end can be bit tricky) good music. some people will read sekiro or the hard tag and get bit scared but don't worry this game is never unfair hard you will get pretty quickly what to do what do parry/dodge changing build i had my fun mastering the game. are you still reading? GO AND PLAY THIS NOW

CHARACTERS/WORLD BUILDING
i wanted to make a specific section just for saying how much the characters are good and well written both bosses and friends that you will encounter during the way. you will learn a lot about them and really start getting attached to them.while playing this game pay attention to the background it says a lot and gives a good context to where are you at. a little mention to the incredible soundtrack you really get involved and its relaxing to listening even on yt (i will put down here the best one for me)
