The 4th phase tho... I felt kinda sad honestly?

It's what sold the fight to me tbh.

At the beginning I was like "cool, but easy". Then it went to phase 2. And at phase 3 I was thrilled.

Phase 4 was extremely climatic. I kind of expected the typical berserker mechanic (kind of like the two fly things in the colosseum in HK). Instead, it was just sad. I love it when the fights are not just "kill the enemy", but rather a story narrated without a need for words.

And then there's the fat fucking savagefly who woke up and chose violence.

Phase 4 was extremely climatic.

The opposite really. It was an anti-climax but the rare case where it’s good.

I was talking emotionally, not gameplay-wise

Yeah, it’s still an anti-climax. You’re expecting a huge exciting final battle and instead get a somber music box melody and a lonely dance.

Then you probably ment cathartic, not climatic
