What the sources said

Global score70 / 100from 2 sources

How is this score calculated?

The global score counts every source that has published a review of this game.

When a source gave its own numeric score, that score wins over its verdict when this score is calculated: it is normalised to a 0-100 scale first, so a 7/10 counts as 70. Without one, the number for its verdict from the table below is used instead.

What each verdict is worth

  • Must play: 100
  • Recommended: 85
  • Recommended with reservations: 70
  • Only for fans: 45
  • Not recommended: 20

This table is app configuration, and it can be adjusted.

A source that has reviewed this game more than once still counts once: its reviews are averaged together before entering the global score.

Not having a score is not the same as scoring zero: it means there is no review counting towards it yet.

Only the sources we have a review from are listed. A source missing here is one we have no review from for this game — not proof that it said nothing about it, and not a verdict against it.

    Players who enjoy parry-based combat and don't mind slow, predictable storytelling. Best experienced through Xbox Game Pass rather than full price purchase.

    Slow pacing with predictable plot points, limited boss variety, stiff character animations, forgettable soundtrack, and minimal replay value due to linear design.

    Repetición excesiva de enemigos y jefes, narrativa que tarda demasiado en enganchar, fallos técnicos frecuentes, y precio injustificado en relación a lo que ofrece.

    Combat

    • PraiseEl sistema de combate centrado en defensas perfectas es gratificante cuando dominas la mecánica de mezclar ataques, habilidades y efectos.at 16:43
