We recently explored the lands of Acrea the Lost Valley in PointBlankG4mes Stray Blade. Check out what we thought of this upcoming action RPG... StrayBlade Xbox

Either attacking or clicking the right toggle allowed me to focus on the enemy I was fighting, while dodging its attacks allowed me to follow up with an attack of my own before I inevitably had to lunge out of the way of a large paw attempting to swat me like you would an obnoxiously annoying fly.
Shortly after proving myself to the wild beasties, I came across Boji, a Xhinnon wolf with magical powers and Baron's companion. Boji has the ability to join you in combat with various abilities, such as using energy bombs, jumping onto enemies' faces, reviving you, or other ways of impassively aiding you in each fight.
One of the most interesting features for me, though, was the dynamically changing world Acrea the Lost Valley has. A little into the session, an enemy put an end to the win streak I was having and killed Baron. Upon respawning at a previously unlocked waypoint, the areas that had previously been cleared were once again repopulated with enemies. The difference is that what was originally a pack of beasts roaming the area, I instead found a human encampment.
Although the version of Stray Blade that I played was technically an alpha build, the experience was an absolute delight. We don't currently have a release date for the game, though, so we could be waiting some time before the game launches, but I'll be watching its development closely from here on out.
