I have to play this game on Story Mode or I'm continuously back flipping off cliffs and can't get my speed up…[h1]Take skill leveling seriously in a semi-open world before taking on the next boss[/h1] I definitely overestimated some things, underestimated others, and…[h1]Technicaly the game feels very smooth[/h1] [list] [*]Responsive movement and game physics in general [*]Good visual clarity during combat, without visual trash…Playing on a controller on Master Difficulty will make things noticeably harder.Why it fits
