An overall fine enough game but a fairly uninteresting world, repetitive gameplay, and horrible performance make this more of a chore than it should have been. Story is meh but some of the voice actors have their moments. It's very Marvelesque dialogue so be aware of that. The mocap really helps the scenes feel like actual people talking but I can't say most of the world lore was all that appealing. Its fine enough but you probably won't remember this in 2 days. Gameplay is smooth but overly repetitive. 3 colors of magic - shoot enemy that is that color - repeat. Exploration is very GOW with semi open zones, limited fast travel, and collectables/puzzles. I was so over this formula by the end and I can't imagine how annoying it would be to get all 120 gold chests. Most low tier enemies look distinct but are functionally the same in how you approach them. Bosses range from completely stupid to god tier aim bot making some of the fights require some cheese on the harder difficulties. They also tend to have HP/DMG bloat instead of any unique moves/tactics to make them harder, a true sign of lazy difficulty balancing. It started out fine but as more enemy spam was present it started feeling too stiff because you constantly feel like you are being cornered in hallway but your blink dodge kinda sucks compared to what you would expect. I finished it on Immortal and regret not just B-lining it on apprentice. Visually it looks good on the surface but the art direction is a bit of a mess. It feels more like a collection of assets crammed together rather than a cohesive believable place. Game has some horrendous chromatic aberration enabled by default and you can't turn it off without putting post-processing to low but that removes some other effects and makes the game look a bit weird, so you'll have to add some lines to engine.ini to fix it. Game runs like absolute ♥♥♥♥. It stats off smooth enough but you'll quickly find your game stuttering like crazy after a bit of play. Maybe it's some kind of memory leak or just usual unreal engine trash optimization. This was on a high end pc and even on the lowest settings it was hitching. A fine enough game and if you can get it on sale for the $5 or whatever it was then sure, give it a try but if I had paid the launch price, I'd feel like I wasted my money.
