Much improved combat system! Lower numbers helped me understand the decisions I had to make better than in GaW 3. I was a bit disappointed that the cat told me what to do with the hat wearing birds, I wish they gave cryptic clue instead, or that I could have figured it out from an item in the game world. I understand the bulk of the work must have been the improvements to the combat system so these complaints hold less weight, I think they're still valid though. That said, I think this improved system has a lot more room to grow! I'm imagining summoning more than one creature or finding items that creates synergy between my own attacks and the attacks of my summons.
I like the cat. You've delivered on your promise of a cat.
