The WhatsNext verdict
For Players who enjoy brisk side-scrolling action, expressive movement, and a vividly grounded historical setting: Play as folk hero Liao Tianding, moving through early 20th-century Taipei while fighting, exploring, and striking back at the powerful. Tradeoff: Its appeal centers on a focused single-player action adventure, with less room for open-ended role-playing or multiplayer.
