Eve lands on a dead Earth, blade drawn, and combat turns into a dance.

The profile paints a very balanced game that leans the right way. The desert island and connection land right in the middle, no more, no less. But the moment you climb onto the sensation criteria, everything rises. The feel of the controller, on few votes, passes more than three quarters of the field. Art direction at the same level. Fun well above average. And two peaks stand out: rediscovery and the soundtrack, both ahead of more than four games out of five. The message is clear, even if early votes need confirming: this is a game you live, one that snaps under your fingers and stays in your ears, more than a game you keep close to the heart.

Against nimble third-person action-RPGs, the Nier or Bayonetta kind, it plays exactly that card: spectacle, fluidity, style. The intimate bond is still something time has to build.

So, who's it for? You, if you love elegant combat, a soundtrack that carries you, a world that dazzles. Much less if what you want first is a character to truly hold onto.
