    The reviewer’s issues with the “simplicity” of combat perhaps needs to be measured against the fact that this is a game that is meant to be accessible to everyone from adults to younger kids. I’m two hours in and the developers did a great job with this balance. It really is something the family can enjoy. Don’t even get me started on the epic musical score…so beautiful.

      It also has to do with budget constraints due to it being indie, they did well on that front too. Reviewers need to take more into consideration why something isn’t as deep as they hoped it to be.
      Perfect example was ori and the blind forests it’s simplistic combat but having way more in depth combat in the sequel due to microsofts acquisition and the money they earned from the prequel
