    skipped every cutscene by day 2

    It’s very easy to get filtered. Get past the prologue and chapter 1 and the story gets significantly better, to the extent that the narrative and gameplay frameworks allow, and often exceeds the likes of Dark Souls in both story and lore.

    Masquerade Of The Guilty is fucking cinema and I will fight anyone who disagrees.

      I got to the lightning island and found the only interesting aspects of the entire game to be snippets of conversation from certain characters and floating around like botw. The philosophy relating to eternity and responsibility from some of the gods, enemies, and the former king (I think) of the fallen kingdom were about all I cared to listen to.

      Gameplay 3/10- combat made me want to die. Movement was alright.
      style 4/10- heavily reduced due to intolerable anime noises. Muted, 7/10.
      Dialogue 2/10- I was deeply uninterested in most of their repeated jokes and maladjusted chicanery. Eyepatch girl, in particular, needs a second lobotomy.
      Story 6/10- it’s a neat framework that they simply did not execute in a way that I could enjoy.

      Overall, 4/10, not worth playing. If muting voices had been an option, I’d bump it up.
