Phantom Blade Zero Might Be This Year’s Most Stylish Action Game | IGN Preview
After half a day playing Phantom Blade Zero, it’s gone from mostly not on my radar to to the top of my wishlist this fall, and I truly cannot wait to dive back in later this month to see if it can deliver beyond those first handful of hours.
