The combat itself is the bright spot but the story quickly became a slog for me. The English localization is pretty rough, which isn't solely an issue because I'm willing to switch VA over to other regions, but the subtitled dialogue also feels off in ways I cant quite explain. The lore dump from hours 1-3 (once you hit the city) is pretty rough and it feels like I haven't been in a combat scenario in forever.

I'll probably look up what end game fights look like soon to decide if I'll continue playing because if the content is difficult enough to keep me interested I'll probably stick with it. Art direction is gorgeous and the opening sequence has some awesome visuals/frames shots.
