The game does a lot right, where it goes wrong for me is that the combat aspect of the game which is a frustrating trial and error experience.
This game was clearly designed to be a relaxing experience but the combat is designed in a way where you have to take damage and you can't avoid all of it.
Do a successful parry only to have a second attack do damage to you anyway, that is if the game allows you to do what you want it to do, it doesn't feel responsive as if it has a bunch of latency.
Your grapple is horrible to use, you can only use it in 45 degree angles which doesn't work at all, vaulting ledges is inconsistent, enemy targeting is inconsistent, some hits don't connect to the enemy.
It all seems designed to have the player take damage, because that's what they want, for you to go back farm better gear and farm rice to only absolutely stomp everything in a single hit afterwards.
From a technical standpoint it's really good however, there is fun to be had if you can overlook the issues that turned me away from the game.
