On PS5, Push Square (10/10) praises its outrageous scope, great range of characters, memorable moments, brilliant boss fights and rousing soundtrack, while finding puzzles a bit tedious and the gear system bolted on. GamesRadar+ (4.5/5) praises beautiful environments, great combat and puzzles and a strong story, but finds it slow to get going. VGC (5/5) calls it an incredibly special game.
