The game has problems, sure... but I'm sick and tired of the double standards, this game's story sucks, yeah... but so does every CAG that isn't NieR:Automata or Final Fantasy XVI, every story sucks except for those two. The combat has so much depth and expression, the levels are simplistic but they're BEAUTIFUL, some of the best bosses in the genre, and the game is PACKED with content. Please, please check it out if you haven't, and ignore all the bad reviews because these reviewers have double standards. Play it on your own terms and have fun with it.

Game: Lost Soul Aside

Availablity: PS5 and PC

Completed the second part to my Comboween series, and the Van Helsing game definitely is INFINITELY more "Character Action" than Nightmare Before Christmas turned out to be. Would honestly recommend a playthrough of this, although it is heavily flawed and doesn't encourage melee combat nearly as much as it should

When it comes to Hack & Slash games they have the same features:

• Multiple combos
• Air juggling
• Ultimate
• Action set-pieces
• Spectacle
• Creative expression through combat

If you were to make your own H&S game what feature would you add to stand out?

For example Metal Gear Rising Revengance has the slice through anything feature, that feature is something that would most likely be in a sandbox/open world game but it was in a H&S game.

So again what would you add?
