An estimated 10 hours to complete the game. This playthrough is incomplete since the game had so many crashes, sometimes crashing my PC and the recording. There are some missing chunks of footage. While this run is unedited, I recorded the game in sessions, so I left out sessions where no new progress was made or I was farming a specific boss for long periods. I did make a seperate video showing the farming spot. This playthrough is sloppy since there was alot of learning and game crashes, so its far from a tutorial.
I have alot of issues with the game but it feels like it would be great with more polish. The final form of the final boss was extremely unclear, as far as when my strikes were making contact, and it had a one hit kill move that I was never able to interrupt, so I ended up going with a QUICK KILL method that my friend told me about. The game isnt real approachable for beginner and intermediate players. When I started playing I got far just using basic attacks, but didnt really know what I was doing until my friend broke down the combat pacing, various cooldowns and how to use everything. The game doesnt really make that clear. Its very easy to get juggled to death by enemies in the game and certain moves dont work right if you are not standing completely still and not pressing any other buttons (such as attacking), which is not great in a game where you are constantly being attacked. I would consider making a tutorial for the game but would have to replay all the stages Im missing.
I had many random crashes where the PC crashed, or soft locks where a boss would not fully die and I could not advance the stage. This added alot of time to the playthrough. I installed a patch near the end of the game and that got me past a soft locked boss I was stuck on, but I still had a PC crash on the final form of the final boss.
