The castle is the achievement: densely built, worth exploring on its own terms, and full of small detail. Spell-chaining combat is more involved than expected. Outside it, the open world follows a familiar checklist of camps and puzzles, and the main story resolves in a rush that leaves several threads sitting unfinished.

An old-school European RPG: three factions with genuinely different magic schools, a world that does not scale to your level, and exploration that rewards wandering into places you are not ready for. Combat is its weakest link — stiff, poorly telegraphed, and frustrating in the early hours before your character is competent at anything.

Tighter and far more focused than what followed: combat demands preparation and punishes mashing, and the second act splits into two genuinely different paths depending on one choice. The opening hours are the steepest in the series — the tutorial explains little, alchemy and signs are easy to ignore until they suddenly become mandatory.

The series returns to high-speed action after a long absence: fast, aggressive combat built around a new protagonist rather than Ryu, with more forgiving systems than the notoriously brutal earlier entries. Fans of the older games are the ones who bounce off it — the moveset and structure read closer to Metal Gear Rising than to Ninja Gaiden II, and Ryu is barely playable for most of the run.

Web-swinging is the whole appeal here, and it works: momentum carries between buildings without breaking, and the city is built to be crossed rather than walked. Combat is Arkham-style freeflow, simplified. The open world is thin — collectibles and repeated crime events fill it, and the indoor stealth missions stop the traversal dead every time they appear.
