Machina

Gave it a couple runs, all pretty unsuccessful. I found the stagger to be pretty limiting, the boss can take dozens of hits like nothing, but getting poked causes us to stumble, limiting both the dodge and attack. The camera lock on angle is a little low at long distances, I'd suggest raising it a bit depending on the distance from target. Some form of animation canceling could go a long way into the feel from attack to dodge. And some of the bosses attacks come out way too fast for the stagger they inflict and how much tracking they have. The magic attacks later on are pretty well telegraphed, and the fire has a reasonable amount of tracking. I think it might be a good idea to test the player's abilities against something with long slow attacks to get the feel down. That all being said, the environment looks great, the vfx are pretty good and the animations are really nice!
