As a Spanish player, the dubbing seems to me to be one of the best I've ever heard, beating some triple-A games. What stands out the most are its characters, NPC's, enemies and bosses, they not only stand out in the visual section, but also in the convoluted nature of their conversations or in the hidden story behind them.The only bad thing is its controls, on many occasions they are a bit erratic and uncomfortable but other than that I don't see any other problem.I recommend it if you want a challenge, not a very big one to be honest, only the first hours are a real challenge, when you start to improve the mea culpa everything becomes more bearable.

This is actually a fantastic game, but not on the underpowered switch. The switch version is virtually unplayable due to the input lag.This is actually a fantastic game, but not on the underpowered switch. The switch version is virtually unplayable due to the input lag. There’s a good half-second delay to everything you do, and in a game that demands as much precision as this one, that makes it unplayable. If you’re thinking about buying this version, be sure to try the demo first. I have a feeling they only added that just so you could see how bad it is on switch before buying; no other version of this game on other systems has a demo.

Travel is horrible in this game. I like the idea of exploratory elements, but if you go too far down a single path, getting to the other end can be annoying and time-consuming when you've already conquered that terrain.
