What can i say, a surprisingly good game with no doubt.

I was expectin absolutely nothin from this game and got totally amazed with how much stuff this title has, was one of the people who wanted to buy the game on release but due to how bad the game released on pc i had to skip it. 2 years later, at the beginnin of 2020 they released a patch fixin nearly every single problem the game had, sure, it has some perfomance problems at random but its a solid port, played for 41h and 0 crashes, even did a 10h playthrought and again, no problems.

History; (may contain spoilers)

I personally despite this history, it started decent, nothin crazy, it became kind of interestin but it ended like any history made by japanese people, total garbage.

I know why the game ended like this, theres no other way to let Adol, our "amazin" protagonist bein "single" if we dont get rid of the waifu of the game, am i right?. Japanese people what the ♥♥♥♥ are you guys thinkin, nearly any game of this genre always, literally, ALWAYS ends like this, sure, some people may like it but whats the point of creatin good moments with characters inside of your games if at the end is gonna get ripped apart.

When the game starts till you reach the ruins, the game history i can say with no doubt reaches the top, you explorin the island, seein your map covered by fog, not knowin how big the island is (insanely big) and while tryin to get out of the island, the cherry on top, havin dreams about a girl you never seen before and seein her history. Thats by far the best thing this game has, how the dreams at some point became playable totally melted my brain, a whole new zone, a whole new character with her own skills and moveset, i mean damn, this is good ♥♥♥♥. And then, Japenese people made whats called, a pro gamer move.

After you get rid of the assasin of the village, easly the worse part of the game by far, you start goin north, when you reaches this part, you, the player, knows whats goin to happen. Due to Adol dreamin about Dana you know on then north part of the island theres a city where Dana lives, what happens? the city is on ruins, why? you were dreamin about a girl who lived years ago, how many you may ask, enough to Dana had become dust. I personally wanted to kill myself at this point, literally seein the bae being dead since the beginnin, its like, whats the point of playin this game after reachin this part, still, i continued due to i paid for it. When you reaches the ruins, you explore em, ofc, and you find Dana, shes actually alive, i started to have faith on humanity once again. After this part the history is pretty much a mix between goin from the present to the past, doin secundary missions as Dana unlocks new routes in the present or even creates new interaction points which is quite cool gotta say.

From that to the end is: you know that big ass tree? well, the tree is bad, he made a meteor rain fell upon my people and erradicate 'em so we need to destroit it but actually you cant set the damn thing on fire beacuse the tree will kill you instantly with a lightning so you need to first, discover my memories beacuse I, Dana, cant remember ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and we may find somethin usefull, second find there are 4 dudes called "Wardens" who known whats goin on and gave no ♥♥♥♥♥ about it, third, goin inside the tree and literally erradicatin 4 races and gather their souls so we can feed another tree and use his powers against the evil tree and fourth and last, kill the tree which is in fact a giant monster......japanese people what the fuc-

How the history proceeds from the 50% of the game till the end is a mess and that ending wants me to tear apart my own torso. The past events-history are good tho.

Gameplay;

Pretty much a hack n slash RPG, nothin crazy. With that bein said if 95% of the hack n slash games plays like you have no hands, the other 4% are actually videogames and the 1% are games made by Platinum or TeamNinja, Lacrimosa of Dana is part of that 4%.

The gameplay may sometimes feels really bad ( like really really bad) but when it works, damn. The flash guard and dodge its quite cool, it should be better but due to how janky and mediocre animated the enemies are some attacks are really weird to get used, also the hitboxes are a fukfest. You can also get permastunned beacuse screw you, imma head out and we even have the dumbass roar system from Monster hunter so you get a 6 second stun when a dinosaur roars, a bit unfair gotta say.

In resume, the game is worth the buy just for its gameplay, if you can skip all this dumb designs theres an enjoyable game.

Soundtrack:

This and the history can differ dependin on the person but i gotta say, even if some pieces do not fit at all with the game they are really well made. The ruins-temple theme is by far the best one, hearin that one while seein Danas history really digs on you, the devs really nailed this part.

I really like this game, it has a lot of the problems japenese games always had, the game do not re-invents the genre but its really well made even with all the problems the game has, for example, theres a weird bug that happens like 25% of the times, the game starts to multiply the hits you make and you end up makin 150 hits in 1 second so the boss totally vanishes from this planet, sure its fun to see but totally kills the point of fighin bosses in the first place, not the first time i killed a boss within 10 secs after the fight started. Another problem is with black bands, if your mouse its on any of the black bands the game disables your attack and dodge so grounded and flyin enemies are nearly impossible to fight against with keyboard and mouse (usin 1080p fixes this problem).

So yeah, after writin that Bible lookin review noones gonna read im gonna say i wouldnt regret, not a single time, buyin this game at full price, even with the problems and the things i dont like the amount of content is beyond normal, the game keeps puttin in front of you new enemies and maps till the very end of the game while most of these type of games are always: 50% of the game is the actual game, the other 50% is the first half but you need to do it all over again.

So yeah, good game, you should play it.
