GN Version 4.0
EDGE review score - 8 out of 10

- On-rails segments are lustrous
- Weapon upgrades are described as a mix between Zelda and Star Fox
- Game would look great on any platform
- Soundtrack, rich color palette, inventive third-person combat, and detailed character models are praised
- Dungeons are complex
- Combat is punishing
- Depth/accessibility, not much is compromised
- Reviewer likes how the loadouts encourage experimentation
- Although the controls are initially “lopsided”, they work very well for on-rails segments
- Blends influences easily
