IM PRACTICALLY FROZEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO EXPLAIN WHAT I WANT TO EXPLAIN BC THERE IS AYYYYLOTTTT OK? THERE IS AYYYLOT- LEMME TRY IT THIS WAY:
EVERY SO OFTEN THERE IS A GAME (SIMPLE SO FAR) THAT GOES A CERTAIN WAY, BUT THERE'S 'ONE THING' OR 'KIND OF THING' THAT UTTERLY- IM TALKING LIKE HAS A -1.0+ EFFECT ON THE TOTAL RATING: FOR FF7REBIRTH IT WAS ALL THE MINIGAMES, BUT MOST NOTABLY THE SITUP THING (ENRAGING ENRAGING)
FOR THE chinesebooger knockoff OF SOULSBORNE+NINJA GAIDEN+NIOH, IT WAS:    • BLACK MYTH WUKONG [BLIND] PART 44 ERL...  
FOR NINJA GAIDEN 2 BLACK, IT'S THIS RIGHT HERE- I WAS ALMOST READY TO SAY 'THIS IS THE BIGGEST DING OF THE KIND I JUST EXPLAINED IN HISTORY' BUT I REALIZED THAT THIS HAPPENS IN A 'EXTRAS' PART OF THE GAME (UNLIKE THE chinese low IQ 1.4BILLION GENETICALLY-BOTTOM-OF-GENE-POOL chinese black myth wukong ittybittytittyclub genetics) SO I THINK WHAT WILL END UP HAPPENING, IIIIIIIIIISUMMMMM A -1.3 DEDUCTION; IN OTHER WORDS I HIGHLY DOUBT THIS GAME GETS ABOVE AN 8.0 IN THE END: I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS GAME HITS A 9.0+
NOW, LETS GET INTO THE DEETS:
THE GAME ALREADY HAS PRETTY BAD GAME MECHANICS AND CAMERA ANGLES GOING BUCKWILD, BUT THIS IN ITSELF WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE, BUT BECOMES AN ISSUE ONCE YOU START GOING FOR THESE UPPER-CHALLENGES:
OFF-SCREEN ATTACKS FROM 10 ENEMIES AT ONCE PLUS WHEN AIMING, IT'LL RANDOMLY AIM (I ALREADY SPOKE ABOUT THIS) AT A RANDOM ENEMY SOMEWHERE INSTEAD OF I.E SOMEONE MELEE'ING SPRINTING TOWARD YOU; OR! IF YOU WANT TO TAKE OUT THOSE MAGIC-FIRE GUYS, IT'LL START SHOOTING AT A RANDOM GUY FAR AWAY
IM 95%+ SURE THIS IS AN ACTUAL GAME-MECHANIC FLAW: WHEN SHOOTING (EVEN AT CLOSE DISTANCES) THE FLYING GARGOYLES, IT INFLICTS ZERO DMG: IT TURNS OUT YOU HAVE TO GET (THIS IS IMPORTANT) PRACTICALLY MELEE-CLOSE FOR THEM TO COME TO THE GROUND BY ATTACKING: SO IF THEY'RE ALL AROUND THIS BROAD MAP, YOU'D HAVE TO RUN AROUND (WHILE BEING CHASED BY MELEE AND FIREBALLS OFF-SCREEN) TO DO THIS ONE-BY-ONE
ENRAGING.
THEN THEY INSERT NOT ONE BUT TWO (NOT BECAUSE OF RAW-DIFFICULTY, BUT INSTEAD THE MAJOR MAJOR AMPLIFIED GAME-MECHANIC FLAWS I JUST MENTIONED) OF THOSE BOSSES THAT ERRATICALLY DO SPIN STUFF
AND!!! AND!!! IF THIS WASN'T ENOUGH: REGULARLY SPAWNING NEW MELEE PEOPLE-
IM IM IM ACTUALLY DISSATISFIED WITH THE WAY I EXPLAINED THIS BC WHAT I WANT PPL TO RECOGNIZE IS HOW DEMENTED AND ENRAGING THIS PART WAS, NOT BC OF SOME KIND OF ELDEN RING-LIKE BOSS BATTLE, BUT BC OF ACTUAL LEGITIMATE GAME FLAWS- AND THIS METHOD I EVENTUALLY USED TO BEAT THEM WAS ALSO EXTREMELY ENRAGING
8.8 DROPPED TO A 7.5*/10!
