✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, action RPG combat and fantasy world

≠ Where it differs: brings shooter, third-person shooting and adventure storytelling, while skipping precision platforming

The largest of the three by scale: kaiju summons fight alongside you and levels open up considerably. Core combat is as sharp as ever when the game lets you use it. That is the issue — demon sequences, side characters and setpiece variety cut into the moment-to-moment fighting, and the story is the weakest of the series.

Released 13 years after Sonic and the Black Knight.
