9 out of 10. The ending... endings were... out there. For me, personally, the game was fun and interesting. I liked the presentation of the lore and story. I also liked the general concept of the game that was applied in this futuristic landscape. It was a challenging game for me even if I played it on Normal, but the bosses were definitely not unbeatable you just had to be very careful with your dodges and attacks like in any other souls-like game. It reminded me a lot of Blasphemous when it came to combat, which was very fun and fluid btw, minus them jumps. I always got stuck on one enemy's face or leg. Overall it's a game for those who are looking for a side-scrolling souls-like game with roguelite elements. It also has a Story Mode which is in theory a LOT less difficult. It if those who just want to see the story and learn about the lore and the universe created by the devs. So, even if you are not a fan of difficult and challenging souls-like games, you will find this one convenient. I will definitely continue to play this in the future.

It's a 7.5 out of 10 without the Virtuous Cycle dlc. The game starts well, it had potential, but the way the story and the lore is presented leaves much to be desired. It's an endless stream of nonesense poetry. It feels like I'm listening to a narrative sophistry because they had no idea what to do with the story. They went for the Dark Souls ideas, but the implementation was not that good.
