Playing this, gave me the same amount of excitement when I played God of war (2018) for the very first time. Being the first AAA title from the developer, I think they pretty much nailed it.
This is what I was able to gather during my short playtime.

Pros:
1. A+ combat mechanics. Easy enough to learn, complex enough to keep it interesting.
2. Art and sound direction are on point. Absolutely stunning. Especially the variety of bosses.
3. Well optimized. I'm averaging 70-80 fps in high settings on my Zephyrus G14 4060.
4. The skill point system is well thought of. Rewards you even if you keep dying when doing boss rush.

Cons:
1. I wished the game had mo-caped for English dialogues and had better dialogues in general. It kinda throws me off when the characters talk. I might switch the language to Chinese and make do with English subtitles.

A solid fun game.

Update after playing around 50 hours of it:
----------------------------------------------------------
One hell of a game. I think I'm at the final chapter now (chapter 6) and there are still so many hidden quests and rewards in the previous realms which I had totally missed. The amount of replay-ability even on your first playthrough is insane.

There are so many build varieties you can choose to go with, each massively changing how you do boss battles. They pretty much nailed that.

Making a single player RPG this good while the other game publishers focused on releasing cash grabs one after another is a feat on its own and definitely marks a milestone for Asian game studios in general. Hoping to see more passion projects like these.

Rooting for GOTY!!!

Best in its class. I'm pretty bad at it though.
