easy install & run
custom keybindable
accessibility options

phys dmg, magic dmg, toughness, sustain, mobility and starting skills
some char customization looks
difficulty option scaling: enemy health/dmg, skill stam cost
nice voice acting, sounds, music, intro
unique art style
responsive controls
interesting story: witch hunting
some parkour style movements
inventory, character skills, and subquest
interesting level and talent tree
dark souls like game, 1 shot death mechanics
markable map / quest tracker

recommendations
bit laggy, turned of vsync solved it
story lip sync for voice absent
beginning story of the main character interacting with leader is different from the customized player character, leading to some story confusion
maybe auto loot on run by?
custom keybinds not showing in tutorial
Underground confusion, trying to break the floor?
holding direction + attack can lag
voice doesn't match beginning char voice selection
after beating wolf, when going to the right wall take it directly to back to quest, confusing, as players have to run all the way left
confusing pathways
double jump?
fall damage? how to climb down?
when dying have to repeat enemies
delay when pressing actions quickly
grappling hook tutorial?

overall
interesting fun souls like demo sidescroller platformer. with a few tweaks in the recommendations would feel much better in the combat and streamlined experience.
