One of the best animation work in video games
Solid technical state on PC
Great soundtrack atmospheric tracks and high-energy pieces
With overwhelming terminology and disjointed narration, following the story is difficult at the beginning of the game
Stiff English voice acting

Deeply satisfying combat with superbly choreographed bosses
Weapon customisation rewards experimentation without endless grinding
Distinctive art direction, excellent animation and a cracking soundtrack

Areajugones
A movement so sharp and fluid that it justifies the game on its own
Easy-to-learn combat with a very high skill ceiling
Original, challenging, and charismatic boss design
A huge arsenal where each weapon has its own choreography and personality.
Outstanding art direction and soundtrack
Delivers good performance on mid-range graphics cards, essential for a precision game
The story jumps around so much that it's hard to piece the puzzle together.
Equipment progression is limited: six purely cosmetic outfits and no modular armor.
Mission tracking is unintuitive and some side quests are very generic

A stunning art direction
An absolutely incredible soundtrack
An ultra-dynamic and addictive combat system
A good evolution of our character
A great variety in the cinematics
Some technical issues on PC
A difficulty that can be off-putting
Basic enemies sometimes too much of a "HP sponge"?

Frenetic combat system that fully embraces the wuxia style
Extraordinary boss fights, among the best of the year
Many weapons, some with truly original mechanics
Fresh imagery, striking visual impact, and exceptional music
A narrative to be revised
Sometimes he sacrifices precision in the name of spectacle
In some respects, it needed to be dried and refined further.

GameKult.com
An action game that never slows down
Efficient progression system with clear and engaging effects
A good command of pacing in level design, with the final third letting loose to offer more open exploration
Extensive and diverse arsenal
When storytelling and gameplay come together, sparks fly
Stunning art direction
At the pinnacle of graphics
Exceptional boss fights (and others that are nice but more forgettable)
Eclectic, dynamic soundtrack with a nice contrast between exploration atmospheres and combat music (though you have to like electro music).
Here's the secondary content to find
New Game Plus and an extra hardcore mode to extend the adventure after the end credits
Unacceptable technical issues: at launch, it is impossible for us to achieve the true ending due to a softlock.
Notable camera issues
Disjointed narration that undermines the good ideas of the story
Harmful embellishments on boss design (especially multi-phase bosses)
Big HP tanks, especially at the beginning of the game
Sometimes tedious backtracking
