IGDBJust rolled credits - what a game! An absolute masterpiece, easily my GOTY and probably one of the best games I've ever played.
The story is incredible, and the art and visuals are exceptional. Every second frame is an absolute cinema.
The jRPG formula seriously benefits from the dynamic parry and dodge mechanics. I now want these mechanics in all jRPGs.
Can't wait to see what Sandfall will be cooking up next.
