✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and strong narrative focus

≠ Its own twist: action RPG combat, horror tension and dark, oppressive atmosphere, while skipping setting scifi

An RPG built on a real dilemma: every citizen you drain gives large experience but permanently degrades their district, and the game is genuinely playable without killing anyone. The London setting and dialogue are strong. Combat is stiff and repetitive, and pacifist runs leave you badly underlevelled for bosses the game does not scale down.

✓ Both are third-person Action RPGs — sharing deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and single-player focus

≠ Where it differs: brings action RPG combat, shooter and third-person shooting, while skipping strong narrative focus

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.
