I talked about this with a friend. From what I’ve seen it’s about the spectacle. It might not have Dark Souls levels of technical and mechanical design mastery, but hot damn, the sheer fucking spectacle of it all!
I think that’s the genius of the game. It’s not meant to be a space for player to hone or practice their action RPG combat skills. It’s meant to blow their minds and make them feel powerful.

I kind of struggle with the constant cut scenes. There are times when the only gameplay is just walking to another room and then another 5min cut scene starts. There was even a point where the cut scene was so long my controller shut off. I often feel like they could have just released it as a TV series instead of a game.
The graphics are great, the fighting animations are awesome, and the times that I do manually control combat it’s super fun. I do agree that it’s not a great game (it might be better if I stopped being lazy and removed the “cheater” rings) but it is a lot of fun to play!
