Exploring with magical parkour feels good
The fight is very varied, solid and encourages experimentation
A good amount of things to do
The open world sometimes seems empty
The story is not very interesting and they force you to spend long minutes in cutscenes that seem eternal.

PXLBBQ
The progression felt on the path of the Tanntas
Devastating magic
A beautiful finish and fluidity
The DualSense, well exploited
Flash charging times
A real freedom of exploration
Surprisingly narrative, without unnecessary dispersion
Very well paced
Magic is really fun to use
The dialogues, fuck!
Frey, often unbearable
A story maybe a little too simple
An ergonomics of spells that twists the fingers a little at first
A rhythm chopped by incessant cuts

The world of Athia is really interesting and its traditions are well constructed.
The exploration is great, all thanks to its wonderful mechanics of movement and parkour
Its combat system goes less and more, and works like a charm.
Great visuals and a great BSO
The story, the dialogues and the protagonist are really weak
The open world design is loose and archaic
There are performance issues

GameScore.it
Combat mechanics that are easy to manage and rewarding to use
A convincing game world full of side activities, even if sometimes repetitive
The use of magic parkour is very satisfying and helps a lot in alleviating the feeling of being inside an unnecessarily large map.
The game struggles to get started, before showing its potential it is necessary to get more than half of the main campaign
Graphically fluctuating (to be an exclusively next-gen game)

Magical parkour.
The combat system and boss battles of the main story.
The soundtrack and the use of the DualSense.
An open world devoid of activities of interest.
The sections of Cipal and their poor secondary missions.

Niche Gamer
The game is a technological marvel when it comes to rendering effects, animation systems, and scale
Combat has some hidden depth to it and Frey is capable of some impressive feats
Impressive attention to detail and effort put into the flavor text
Abilities are gradually introduced and there are a lot to play with
PlayStation 5 controller haptics give the playability a satisfying crunch
Frey is instensly unlikable and stupid
There are some embarassing examples of amateurish lighting
Obvious recycle assets become distratcing
Rotten with tedious Ubisoft-like open-world design philopshy
There are many aspects of the lore that are unbelievable

Fantastic central combat. Fun parkour. Solid enemy variety. Entertaining boss battles throughout. Passable open-world activities that rely on the good gameplay loop.
Bad story most of the time. Uneven characterisation (particularly with side characters). Atrocious intro. Ugly to look at some of the time.

The relationship between Frey and his magic bracelet.
Parkour elements integrated into combat and exploration.
A great diversity of magic.
The fight has several well-accomplished moments.
A silk at the level of performance.
Great use of DualSense.
Little incentive to explore after the first few hours.
Secondary characters and quite simple story.
Athia is too beautiful a world for her to have so little to do.
More types of enemies are missing.

Parkour offers a very pleasant freedom of movement
A new license made in Square Enix

Totally failed and repetitive first hours
A concern for readability for confrontations

A gigantic map
The exploration that is the master asset of the game
Good OST produced by Bear Macreary
An explosion of beautiful colors and power with magic
A very slow and long start before really being interesting
Some pretty wide shots
Parkour is very fun to play?
? but which is often a victim of collision bug and inaccuracy.
A poorly exploited history
A camera and a target lock that are your worst enemies
Boring side quests
A little short lifespan (about 10 hours of play for the main scenario and double to finish the game 100% in normal mode)
A lot of inconsistencies, scripting facilities and a largely predictable outcome
The character of Frey who is annoying, rude without real interest
A VF totally at the pick-up
Poor lip syncing
Graphically unworthy of the Playstation 5

Combat is fast paced and rewarding
Spell and item customization lets you build Frey to best suit your style
Actor performances were great, despite poor dialogue
Character progression felt forced at the end, instead of naturally progressing
Poor, cringe-inducing dialogue really made it hard to sit through at times
Visual compromises muddle beautiful art direction

Geeks By Girls
A vast and beautiful open world
An interesting and varied bestiary
A panel of magic and very varied moves
The large number of accessibility options available
A plot stitched with white thread and a particularly unsympathetic heroine
Too many dialogues and cutscenes that break the rhythm of the game
Too few scripted and interesting side quests
The animations of the characters very unrealistic

Enjoyable and dynamic fights
Parkour, well designed and fun
The different magics and the materialization of the elements
Non-existent loading times
A gigantic playground with many activities
Unbearable and unlivable main characters
A story that does not mark the spirits
A world far too empty and very little varied
The bestiary that does not reflect the gigantism of Athia
Many small visual bugs

A gameplay gradually pleasant to take in hand
Almost non-existent loading times
Nice music, with in mind the main theme and its variations
Beautiful spell and parkour animations
Oddly taking
Critical accessibility settings
A very slow start to the adventure
Real writing problems
An open world as big as generic and repetitive
Poorly calibrated progression, equipment and loot systems (+ 1600 chests !!???)
A legibility in suffering, between uninspired interface and sometimes cluttered action

Some passages of the script and the character of Frey
Travel, magical in every sense of the word
Fights are a minimum of fun
Some successful effects and scenery
Loading times almost non-existent
The operation of the DualSense
The music and dubbing are of good quality
A certain lack of ambition in the story and staging, especially since the most interesting is only towards the end
The open world, too big and without much interest in the end
Lack of challenge
Disappointing main content and hardly captivating side content
Not always very pretty

Excellent spell system, fun and manipulated thoroughly
Magical parkour is functional and a beauty for the eyes
Soudtrack inspired
Poor quality narrative component
The protagonist is unbearable from beginning to end
Many technical limitations, not a next-gen title

Striking visuals
The comic and harmonious interaction between the two main characters
The RPG side not unpleasant
A map with varied objectives.
Visually disappointing for 2023
Few surprises in a vast and empty world.
A banal and uncatchy story
Repetition of combat phases without much value
An extremely slow pace

Frey, a surprisingly endearing protagonist...
Magic parkour, largely successful
Occasionally beautiful in its landscapes...
... For a plot sewn with white thread
A wobbly dubbing in English version
It speaks, it speaks, but let it speak
A staging flush with the daisies serving an uneven progression
A boring open world inflated with dispensable sideways
Confusing, repetitive and far too long fights
... Often ugly in his characters
Framerate too inconsistent in Performance mode

The spells are beautiful.
Combat is fun in open areas.
Beautiful scenery
Bland open world.
Cramped spaces are the worst.
Camera works against you.
Awful dialog and bad voice acting.
Out-of-touch writing makes Frey unlikable.

A classic fish-out-of-water tale
Magic can be fun if you get a good run at it (IYKYK)
A great line can make magical parkour look and feel cool, but it doesn't happen often
Trope heavy
Unlikeable characters every which way you look
World design and level design is appalling
No sense of art or colour -- a bland world devoid of life
Magical parkour is more hindrance than help
Terrible, terrible writing
Screen-tearing

In Quality mode, the environments are pleasant to enjoy. he? A well-thought-out and eclectic handling? Japanese dubbing, at the top? A gigantic world to explore? A simple and effective character evolution Beautiful music in harmony with the action in the image Good sensations with the DualSense
? but in Performance mode, it?s not joy? After 10 hours of play? But French lacks energy? but empty from home Frey has zero charisma, too vulgar the young lady Animations and modeling of characters, help Repetitive at will The tiny text, illegible!

The graphics and how amazing the world of Athia is.
How fun it is to go through it with parkour skills.
His impressive battles full of spells.
Some side missions are very entertaining...
... But others are not worth it at all.
The aiming system so bad for such frenetic gameplay.
Too many faded to inexplicable black.
