It might actually be a bit more interesting because there's blocked off optional areas that you can't get to unless you replay the levels after finishing the games. I think those other 2 just have a way larger sense of scale and variety in their actual levels and enemies. I felt like i've fought on the same very small combat area so many times with the same enemies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm talking about actual gameplay, I haven't had to change or mix up the combat a single time throughout the entire game. All I've ever had to do is press LT to a different ally for some enemies. It's poor gameplay imo. The rythmn thing is literally the only mechanic in the game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I personally found the gameplay to be pretty satisfying, and the rhythm mechanics results in a nice sense of progression. During the first few levels I was constantly off beat and struggling a bit but by the last few levels I was consistently getting 80+% But to each his own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah i think you might be in the minority with that one. I found DMC5 to be a pretty big slog compared to this game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't liked a single one of these rhythm hybrid games. The FPS ones are even worse imo. Just feels like a needless mechanic to try add artificial flow instead of actually letting your dynamic gameplay do that (like Doom does for eg) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 So it's actually a legit action game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
