Death's Door

TL;DR - Very solid 9/10 game. Everything is fantastic apart from a couple things that hold it back. Not too difficult, yet feels very rewarding after each major section. Very highly recommended. I 100%'ed a save in 13 hours 20 minutes (still 2 more achievements to do in a new file), and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I used a controller for this playthrough which was a handicap for me, but it didn't get in the way too often. The comedy was great (if not a little childish at times) and wasn't forced in any way, and the dialogue of the various characters was equally great. The story wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it had a few twists and turns and was all around a very good experience. The ending was also absolutely fantastic, and the post-game was pretty fun to go through. It's not too difficult to 100% either, but I did consult a guide for the last 5 things I could not for the life of me figure out the location of. The gameplay was absolutely fantastic in every way. The combat especially was just... so satisfying. The different ways to attack, the different weapons, the abilities you obtain, and the dodge roll actually having a substantial amount of I-frames, it all just works so well. Enemies were tough - especially early on - but not to the point of unfairness. It was actually really well balanced in my opinion. The bosses were also really good (apart from one of them, which felt a little underwhelming), and the final boss especially was incredibly fun and difficult to beat. None of the fights felt unfair, and all of them took me anywhere from 5 to 30 tries. So, not too difficult, but definitely a bit of a challenge. There is a single instance of the S-word, and very few other swears that I remember, if any. You can also turn off blood, which I highly appreciate and respect. No gross stuff. Nothing that made me uncomfortable. Only issues I can think of is the lack of a map, and with my memory problems it is particularly difficult to navigate lol. There's also a couple things being near-impossible to figure out on my own, like the metal circles on the ground in various areas and one particular puzzle that was incredibly vague and had zero precedent, both of which I consulted the Internet to solve. All in all, highly recommended. Solid 9/10. Incredibly enjoyable to play, even with a controller.
