The demo starts slow but you do get a "all equipment and skills unlocked" boss fight to play with at the end of it, you can mess around and see how it feels. It's actually pretty neat. There are definitely some things I'd change about it but if you like reactive gameplay (lots of dodging and parrying) rather than building out long elaborate juggles, it's quite cool. Interesting balance of defensive options that have to be used in different situations, nice tight timing, some pretty cool equipment skills.
It presents itself as flashier than it is (it has a whole combo tree system but it's basically meaningless) but in a lot of ways it feels like "Sekiro with 4 combat arts at once".
