The story is really good and the characters. Someone enjoy this fighting system much more then the last games but from my side it got worst. Anyway it's a great game if you love this universe.
Even in 2026, with its outdated mechanics, the game is super good. The story is top-notch and it has really good characters—9/10!
English Version (french below) : I had some trouble with this game when I first played it, but I learnt to appreciate it with enough time The story and characters are top notch, as usual, the music is nice and the gameplay is modernized That being said, the gameplay is a bit clunky, hitboxes are not very clear and some upgrades just should be in the base kit. Without upgrades to your roll, it's downright unusable, and god help you if you end up in a group fight. On some quests, I also wouldn't have minded a bit more indications honestly. As far as the platinum is concerned, you will have to do two playthrough, including one with only one life so you better be very careful, but as there are two roads in the game, it will actually offer a really different experience. Soo yeah, great game, even if a bit clunky Version Française J'ai eu du mal avec ce jeu au début, mais au fur et à mesure j'ai appris à l'apprécier. L'histoire et les personnages sont comme toujours au top, la musique est très sympa et le gameplay est repensé totalement. Maintenant que c'est dit, le gameplay est un peu.. bancal, les hitbox ne sont pas très claires et honnetement il y a des améliorations qui devraient juste être dans le kit de base. Par exemple, sans les améliorations sur votre roulade d'esquive, c'est juste inutilisable et bon courage a vous si vous avez le malheur de vous retrouver dans un combat avec plusieurs ennemis. Sur certaines quêtes, je n'aurais aussi pas dit non à quelques indications. Pour le platinum, il faudra faire le jeu deux fois, dont une avec un mode "vie unique" donc faites vraiment attention, mais puisque le jeu a deux routes, vous aurez deux expériences finalement très différentes. Donc voila, un très bon jeu mais un peu bancal sur les bords
