The Real Review

Most people are digging this creative action RPG from New Tales, praising its fast-paced elemental combat and absolutely gorgeous visuals. The core loop of manipulating water to trigger chain reactions in surreal worlds is a clear hit, and the game's value for money gets high marks. The story is a bit of a step down, but the real mixed bag is performance, especially on PC and Xbox, where a vocal group reports significant technical issues. Overall, it's a strong debut for the studio if you're not playing on one of the buggier platforms.
