The verdict
A stylish, Zelda-meets-God of War action-adventure with a cool Horseman protagonist and fun combat, but late-game puzzle padding, dated controls and Steam Deck cutscene crashes sour many players.
Great for
Fans of old-school God of War combat and Zelda-style dungeons who like puzzles and a badass hero
Main risk
Late-game puzzle and backtracking overload plus clunky controls and crashes, especially on Steam Deck
