But the feel of the game and the combat is not good. The entire thing feels like it is stuttering. The character does not move smoothly and the loading screens are frequent. I am on a recently built PC (5 months ago) so I do not expect this out of a side-scroller. The character's jump, movement, parry, shooting, and dodge do not give me a satisfying sense of control. It feels like I am constantly struggling to hit the jumps to make it to the ledges, or fighting with the controls to pull off the basic attack combo.
Free on GamePass so only my time was lost.
