Been quite enjoying the first 10 hours of the game.
Great combat system, performance is stellar, bosses are challenging without being ridiculously hard. Decent enough enemy variety. OST is catchy. Progression system is also a lot better than I expected.
However, so far, the story is forgettable, and the characters are so lifeless and wooden. That includes Eve. She's basically a blank slate and does nothing for women in video games being taken seriously as actual personalities with depth and development. The only exception is Lily, which isn't saying much.
Some of the 'puzzles' are also dreadful. Like 'Mako Vacuum from Rebirth' levels of tedium. Otherwise most are OK and the rewards are good.
Just about justifying it's score so far.
