The piece centers on the game\u0026#39;s psychokinetic combat, where players lift and throw objects like cars and steel beams, mixing weighty ranged attacks with close-quarters slashes. The writer notes the natural cycle of spending the psychokinesis gauge at range and refilling it in melee. The feature also mentions director Kenji Anabuki\u0026#39;s 2,000 consecutive days of social media promotion for the title, which recently drew attention online.
