It's extremely mid, still better than most of modern slop, so great as a palate cleanser for the right price. Serviceable combat, story and voice acting. Pretty environment and models. Good vibes overall. Recommended with the right expectations.

It's a really enjoyable action game that benefits from newer hardware. It has a great atmosphere, nice character design (a necessary comment these days) and the gameplay is very good.

I really rate Blades of Time. I like the hack n slash gameplay, simple RPG mechanics and story. I feel this one flew under the radar a bit. The music also compliments the games atmosphere. If i were to compare the feel and gameplay, it is a cross between Bayonetta and Tomb Raider but in a more "fantasy" setting. The game runs well on most modern day laptops / PC's I've thoroughly enjoyed this one and it would be cool to see a re-master or re-make.

Back in the late 2000s/early 2010s, there was this little game studio called Gaijin Entertainment that really wanted to make a hack-and-slash game featuring a blonde in a bikini. That game was called X Blades and apparently was not very good. Its sequel/reboot, Blades of Time, however, is what I would call a good videogame. I'm glad I finally got a chance to try this game, and I'm glad to be able to say I enjoyed it. It makes use of all its combat tools to their full potential, between your spells, you swords, your guns and time rewind mechanic, I found myself having to make use of all of these mechanics all at once to deal with the onslaught of enemies the game throws your way. The enemies seem monotonous at first but there is indeed some depth to them, resulting in exhilarating battles and the aforementioned full realization of the combat tools Ayumi is given. Platforming and puzzles are passable with some rather dodgy bits, but bless their heart they really explore the time travel mechanics in the level design as well. The desert level is a standout, which isn't something you would usually say of most games. Great gameplay, solid level design, and the pretty lady struts around in a bikini, this honestly might be one of the most well-aged vintages from the PS3/Xbox360 era. Highly recommend.
