not sure why you’re getting downvoted

I know why. :)

the game mechanics are known to be stellar.

They really are, and somehow continue to hold up in the modern day. No inventory management, no skill trees, just a solid older-school platforming and slashing game. Lots of good variety, although the pacing at the end slows down a bit.

If you played the Shadow of War games or the Batman Arkham games, it's a similar type of combat mechanic (minus stealth).
