Phantom Blade Zero review - flowing swordplay meets some rough edges in this wonderfully fluid action game undermined by a few little issues
Phantom Blade Zero offers wonderfully fluid and cinematic kung fu-style combat, reminiscent of martial arts cinema and influenced by Soulslike games. While its combat animations, environments, and exploration are spectacular, the game is undermined by balance issues, particularly with spongy boss fights, and a narrative that dumps lore without much clarity. Despite a recent update targeting performance and stats, some issues persist, leaving the overall experience with rough edges.
