design
    world
        one of the few things that i did enjoy
            looks really nice, and fits with the story
    character
        i hated the character design
            something about it just bothers me an ungodly amount where i don't want to play it
    sound
        its good
        it fits the world

gameplay
    combat system
        turn based
            similar to press turn
        parry system
            i fucking hate this system
            i find it to be so annoying more annoying than the horrible character design
            it ruins the whole gameplay experience for me
            it takes me out of it
            ruins the immersion
            it is not a skill issue i can parry just fine
            i just don't want to fucking parry when i am playing a turn based rpg

i think that this is just one of the games that is not for me, and i would rather have it sit in my steam library and collect dust than to suffer through it, it was a hard ten hours to get through already.
