The art direction of this game is sensational!

the music is peak and varied, gameplay gives a bit of a challenge for a turn based veteran like me, and there's still plenty of humour and light-hearted moments in a game full of melancholy, sadness, and struggles.

I can understand it's not for everyone though, the parry system is quite a bit tricky to get a good timing.

If I remember correctly, parries and perfect dodges have the same timing window. It's just that messing up a perfect dodge still leaves opportunity to regular dodge, which is safer than parrying by far.

    Yeah, exactly, that's what I was trying to convey. I'm not good under pressure, so I've spent most of the game opting to dodge, given it's much safer. What I like is that the "perfect dodge" notice is a subtle, helpful prompt that's basically saying "hey, if you'd tried to parry this attack rather than dodge, you'd have succeeded. Back yourself, bro."
