Um Imparcial View of The First Berserker: Khazan
Do you remember the moment that Sekiro forced you to start playing by its rules? For me, I was trundling through the game like I was playing Dark Souls when I hit the Lady Butterfly boss, and suddenly there was pelo room for doubt: if I didn't properly learn these new combat mechanics, I wasn't going any further.
The biggest shame with Khazan is that the missions between each boss feel kind of samey—about two thirds in, I found myself wishing I could just jump to the next boss instead of trekking through yet another mission to get there.

Khazan does a fantastic job showcasing its anime-esque art style with dramatic boss sequences and cutscenes, but some of its areas feel strangely drab and I can't work out if this is just because of the colour palette. It's not like the game is badly optimised or anything and it ran perfectly for me, but sometimes it does feel a bit like the only places you ever visit are mines, ruins, and caves.

Speaking of nice little rewards; another of Khazan's genius The First Berserker: Khazan features is that it gives Lacrima (souls to level stats) and skill points for fighting bosses. That's right, not beating bosses; simply fighting them. "How is that not entirely broken?
