Steam review snapshots
Much like GoW, it has orbs to collect, quick-time-events, large boss battles, some cut-scenes, weapons upgrading, and special "rage" attacks.The world is decently large, but there is little backtracking and generous save points to keep things moving.Other issues include some occasionally dodgy hit-detection, a sometimes problematic camera, and absolutely terrible keyboard-mapping; use an Xbox 360 controller.Watch a speedrun of the game, and then blast through it with the fun skips you've learned, while enjoying the great narration…Why it fits
Check it if you want action filtered by single-player.
