Perhaps this is an unpopular opinion but I found the game aesthetically quite ugly. Many landscapes had a feeling of copy pasted Unreal assets that looked so same-y at points they became confusing to navigate (especially given the lack of a mini-map). The characters had these blank, uncanny stares half the time and the designs for some of them (Esquie in particular) just didn’t look good to me.

I get shit every time I bring this up, but you are not alone! This game is undeserving of the “best art direction” accolades it recieved and they cheapen the other awards it got.

I’m playing The first berserker: Khazan. It’s fantastic if like me you have intense soulslike brainrot, it switches up the formula enough with the focus on skills and combos, it also has some nice parry and block action. Gameplay is really solid, bossfights are fun.

I’m moving at a snail pace though, I’m only at the 4th boss. I haven’t played much of anything this past month and some change but so far I’m having a blast.
