The music during that final boss fight is incredible. The little string instrument commanding the fight and the drums matching the boss fights heavy hits is peak design, these people know what they are doing.

[@mncedisinelsonmlumbi8003]

beautifully orchestrated

[@hamzakhane2089]

theres is a 2 seconds where the music stops before the boss does those continues his on the ground,,, then the beat changes to drums to match the hits,, pretty nice synergy but its a tell that the boss is about to nuke you

Some enemies don't need flinching but the game should really have a hit-stop/delay effect when the attack goes through the flesh to create a satisfying hit respond.

[@slimymcbrazy7691]

if you look closely, it does have that on more powerful attacks. it doesn't need it with every connect to the enemy, as you are hitting them in a combo like 10 times in 2 seconds. this is not a fromsoft game and it doesn't need to be exactly like that.

Out of all the mythologies, Sun Wukong and Pallas Athena have always been the deities that caught my admiration and love the most. The victorious fighting spirit of the trickster, whose life and desires reveal a heart of gold, and the goddess of wisdom who watches over tumultuous souls whose only ideal is to find his way back home.
