I'm enjoying it a lot, I'm maybe two hours in or so. The game is beautiful in HDR and with ray tracing on and the art direction and sound design has been immense, as has the voice acting. I'm interested in the narrative also, though I'm only at the beginning.
Combat-wise I've beaten the first big boss and although I'm enjoying it a lot, I don't think it would suffice as the lone selling point. The combo system is cool (though the lack of tutorials makes it a little opaque) but there isn't much need for subtlety or mastery (at least so far). It's all been pretty easy. If you're hoping for a souls-like challenge that requires you to really master the combat system you'll be disappointed, at least that's what I've seen thus far.
I recommend it if you're interested after watching the trailer, especially at this price. The presentation is really unique and I love games that do their own thing and put more of an emphasis on art. As others have said, wear headphones!
+1, don't know if I would pay full price given how short is the game, but asides from that beautiful experience, dindt had the hardware to pump up the graphics like u did, but damn did I ever enjoyed the sound design.
