For something I had no expectations for, it was pretty awesome!

I'm not going to even bother mentioning gameplay and all that, cause, well, I'm sure you know by now it's basically an M-Rated Zelda title seen through the eyes of a comic book artist. 
 
This game is awesome, it has really good combat, even if it could use more moves/combos. I don't mean Bayonetta or Ninja Gaiden combos, but just more and especially more for the extra weapons you can obtain. The exploration is perfect, there's a lot to see and a lot to collect. 
 
What really makes this game for me though are the awesome set pieces and the boss fights. You go through a couple of dungeons, then go to one expecting more of the same, just in a different environment, instead you'll blast Angels away with a sweet cannon, fly on.. something blowing the crap out of other things and have a really awesome boss fight on horse back.  As fun as the whole game was, these events will bring me back to this game and keep it on my shelf.
 
This game is great, it came out of nowhere and really impressed me and by the looks of it, a lot of other people. It's worth the purchase. 
 
There is one draw back though. There's not a lot to do once the game is beat, other then to go back and collect missing items/achievements. This is to be expected with this genre but some DLC would've been nice, but Vigil already said no that.. so hopefully a sequel won't take too long because this has potential to be a really sweet franchise.
