Was really excited for #StellarBlade to come to #switch2, but I'm not loving the demo. The combat is slow, I don't like Eve's characterizaion, and YOU'RE TELLING ME I CAN CUT THIS GATE DOWN WITH MY BIG ASS SWORD?

Had Joe Berlinger been allowed to make the movie he wanted, Blair Witch 2 could've been really interesting. As it stands, it's a great concept with a terrible execution 10/10 because I have a crush of Jeffrey Donovan #movies #filmsky #frightclub
