The parrying system asks a lot from you before it gives anything back. Once it clicks it's genuinely great, but that wall at the start turns a lot of people away for good.

combat's brilliant, the story mode never grabbed me the same way

Un ratio de victoires en duel ne mesure pas la qualité, juste la ferveur de ceux qui votent encore pour lui.
QuestLegend2
the story mode is barely there though

"grabbed me" ha, it grabbed my controller across the room a few times
Max_1984
Yeah I'll admit it upfront, I vote for it in basically every duel it gets, biased as I am, and I don't plan on stopping.

À côté des autres jeux du genre de la même période, celui là demande un engagement que peu osent proposer.

Compared to something like Breath of the Wild, the commitment asked here is a completely different kind of demanding, and that alone explains a lot of the split opinions.

ok so, 69% win rate in duels and it still sits at 16th, something's off there... this game rewired how I think about combat in general, the parry timing alone deserves more respect than it gets
dominique_rolland
Ça m'a occupé un automne entier aussi, mais est ce que ce fameux ratio de victoires reflète vraiment autre chose que la ferveur des fans qui reviennent voter dessus ?

I hear you on the parry timing but honestly I bounced off it three separate times, the rewiring never happened for me, it just stayed frustrating from start to finish
sporer_elva
Sixteenth place, seven hundred and some duels, sixty nine percent wins, we've had this conversation a dozen times already and nothing changes. It deserves to be higher, I still think that, but I'm tired of repeating it every time someone bumps the thread.

Ce classement n'a jamais eu de sens pour moi, comment un jeu avec un tel ratio de victoires reste seulement seizième ?

I went through something similar around the same time, minus the breakup, just a rough stretch at work that made the evenings feel long, and this was the only thing that held my attention through it.
