Hindsight 20/20 Wrath Of The Raakshasa Review Cons:

The opening is slow with unskippable cutscenes of the land and pages of text to read.
Tutorials are not good with them asking you to pause the game and go to the manual to learn the controls and mechanics. Occasionally it will pop up buttons but without context what’s the point.
The game is constantly stuttering or stopping both mid-combo and when interacting with things.
Only one control layout.
Cannot turn off or tone down the blood.
Combat feels very mashy.
No voice work just text.
You cannot skip cutscenes.
Would fall out of the level or it wouldn’t load the assets and I would just die.
It kills momentum constantly with bad pacing and cuts.
