Pros
Pro Skill-based combat instead of button mashing hack and slash
The melee combat requires experience to become skilled in, with directional attack and defense control mechanisms combined with a demanding stamina system contributing to an experience that rewards close attention, patience, good timing and reflexes, and feels immensely satisfying with every win.
