I liked the other game that you mentioned and having a different perspective was very refreshing and cool. Overall the combat doesn't feel bad, but the throwing trident attack becomes the best option with the enemy's ignoring you or being so far away that they can't reach you in time and even if they do you have an attack to push them back.
The boss fight is very interesting, although being able to one-shot a tentacle with a heavy attack makes it very easy to just spam that and never take damage.
The art is amazing and very high quality and is ver consistent, being all underwater-themed.
Overall, a fun little experience with a nice final animation as a reward. ^w^
