Looks like a dodge system fit for a sports combat game where you remain relatively stationary in front of your opponent. Not really a choice to make for an action 3rd-person game.
I'm just gonna wait on a blessing from the Gamepass Gods to play this. Yakuza"Like a Dragon" and Persona 5 Royal got me back into RPGs but I think I only like the Japanese ones.
This game was so good I bought the first one. That game is really good too. I wish I would have played them in order as the story of the first game provides a lot of context for the second one.
