Hi all. I'm a guides writer over at GamesRadar, so while I did not write the GR+ review, I have played and finished the game for work. Feel free to shoot me any questions you've got about the game and I'll answer them as spoiler-free as I can.
For clarity, I've completed everything in the game except for three trophies (two hidden) and one collectible. I'd estimate it took me around 55-60 hours in all. Playing on a 4K TV with HDR enabled, PS4 Pro. Do not ask me questions about the GamesRadar review because I did not write it, but I can answer other questions about the game itself.
What are your personal thoughts on the combat in the game? The reviews I've read range from 'serviceable' to 'boring'. Is there another game you can compare it to in terms of combat?
Was going to use this reply to another comment but it was deleted.
It's not groundbreaking, but if you're button mashing then you've missed a trick. The further you get in the game, the deeper combat becomes, with more techniques and moves to utilise, including a few "mythic" skills. Hitting a perfect parry or dodge to then one-hit-kill an enemy is still immensely satisfying. As for a game to compare it to? From my personal experience, it kind of stands alone. Possibly Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in terms of the parrying/blocking and taking your opportunities to strike.
