I guess that's fine. The demo showed the shortcomings of the game but the art direction is incredible and honestly those are not bad scores
I'm curious what sort of shortcomings you saw? I'm no expert of the genre, but foe me I thought it was just very samey in gameplay, while still bringing some interesting twist to the table with the masks. And as you said, that art direction is incredible. Still, it felt very much like Eden Ring in Italia. Not necessarily a bad thing, I suppose. I'm still tempted to get it.
I thought animations were not the smoothest, some areas had insane difficulty spikes and a level was really hard to navigate for me.
That said those are not mayor issues and for a first game the work they've done is really impressive.
