Gotta say, Soul Sacrifice has been weirdly good so far and I appreciate the anons that pushed me into it.
>ost is top tier, very memorable tracks
>graphics are surprisingly good
>gameplay is fast paced, snappy, and the camera does some cool stuff during the attacks (also takes some of the best mechanics from toukiden)
>bosses have really good designs
>stages look cool

And this one surprised me the most
>surprisingly well written story with characters that are presented as edgy but have a lot of depth

So far my only gripe is that the maps, as good as they look, are super, super basic arenas. There isn't much to do in them and they feel even smaller than they are.
