Tails of Iron (PlayStation 5)

The parry move L2+R2 can be started way before the attack.

The rat kingdom was overwhelmed by horrible frogs and as the rat heir to the throne, you have to rescue your brothers. Pretty cool setup in this critter-based medieval game.

The backgrounds are really beautiful in this game.

After some difficult boss fights, we reached the city of the Molsheviks, an industrialized mole city. Apparently, the different species live in different historical periods - the rats live in a medieval town, the frogs live in a tribal society, and the moles live in the modern age.

Malu and I played through most of the game together, but towards the end she beat most of the bosses. I figured out what we needed for the Platinum trophy, and she managed to get all the side quests, and all armor and weapons.
