00:00 - Intro

02:22 - Part 1 Pro

Devil May Cry/Bayonetta-like combat

Game of Thrones-like story (if you like it)

Visually it looks good on the PS5 and runs well…

06:04 - Part 2 Cons

…However, there are some performance issues

Some might be disappointed they went with an action approach rather than the classic turn-base approach

Clive is the only character you can control
