The movement and combat are pitch-perfect. The story is simple, but emotionally impactful. The masterful blend Taoist philosophy, furries, and a surprising amount of horror gives this game a unique, refreshing identity.

Lady Ethereal may just be one of the best boss fights in all of gaming. Truly a jaw-dropping moment.

She goes absolutely insane all over the screen while you try to mechanically cope. The giant head-vagina in the background grows more and more menacingly horrifying as the fight progresses.

The final boss is a bit too hard. There is a (small but unnecessary) mandatory stealth segment. Doesn’t matter. This one is a GAME, people. It is a pure and beautiful soul covered in the guts of a violently mutated disfigured corpse that was at one time your friend.

GOTY.
