There is, however, the continual revelation of spyware-level "bugs" that keep being discovered. First it was the anti-cheat service that continued to run after the game was shut down. They patched that so it only is installed while the game is running. Then it looks like the game takes a look at the contents of your clipboard when it starts up.

I was going to give the game another chance but I really don't think I want to even bother now. Maybe if it was a real game and not an excuse to print money via gacha mechanics.
Ok but like, setting aside that first paragraph(not discounting, just let's put that in a box while we talk about something else), it IS a real game and even better than most if you define most as the shit on steam etc every day and they deserve money at some point, yes? Not saying gacha is my preferred method, or even second favorite, but that's a pretty bad faith argument.
I'm having a lot of fun. The controller inputs on pc are not good, hoping for remap options. I'm playing on keyboard and mouse which is not what I want to be using for third person action, but the controls are mostly fine except for camera movement up/down. It's gorgeous, I love the music, looking at later talents and different characters only excites me as what else I can do in combat late game but I'm already enjoying it fairly early on. Hope some issues get cleaned up like controls, stuttering, unlocking framerate etc.
I would love to throw small amounts of money at the game in the future for stuff, pure gacha pulls aren't my thing though when it comes to real money because I feel like that's endless(it is); rather have a battle pass or 5-10$ premium monthly thing etc.
