For me it does a few things that really standout:
- The sword gameplay is the best I've ever used. It feels much less hack-and-slash and is more about timing
- It stays realistic-adjacent enough that I don't find it annoying. Your sword doesn't become a neon hurricane for zero reason.
- The story feels like it actually had some attention paid to it and it manages to make you care for the characters
- The enemies do messed up, dark stuff that really plays to everybody's inner John Wick/Liam Neeson
- There's a large degree of give-a-**** from the developers in terms of style and emotion. I can't name another title screen that gave me chills (you'll know when you see it).
