The Strange Pictos from Lumiere is certainly an enigma until you meet someone who can do something with it.
Its combat takes this concept even further, interweaving traditional turn-based battles with timed dodges and parries.
Clair Obscurs parries are something else entirely.
If you parry every single hit in an enemys combo, you retaliate with a powerful counterattack.
The problem arises the further you get into the campaign.
Even on lower difficulty tweaks, if you cant get the parries right, you die.
Instead, it feels like every late-game enemys challenge comes down to parrying and parrying alone.
The games reliance on parries also presents a major accessibility issue.
I dont believe that Sandfall designed its combat system to turn players off.
Its one of the few blemishes on the games lovely, haunting canvas.
