Chronicles Of Sagrea Review Cons:

No accessibility options.
The game starts with spider enemies and has no warnings or options to turn them off or change them.
Character animations are robotic.
Had it a few times where I would get stuck in a running animation.
You cannot do certain actions when your weapon is drawn, you have to put weapons away to pick up items or jump or climb, and even running requires you to sheath your weapon.
No lock-on button for combat.
A lot of tight corridor-like areas.
The menus themselves are fine but it doesn’t provide a good experience for knowing when you’ve equipped and unequipped something.
The pickup animation is slow.
You have a small limit on how many potions of each type you can carry at once.
Fell through the floor on some platforming segments.
Hard to distinguish which potion is which because health comes in different sizes.
Hard to see pickups and the game in general is very dark.
