...the slide can kill?
...
Just gave the game another go knowing this and it feels so much better! A lot of the issues I have still stand (the controls even moreso now that there's another button in my rotation - dash being hold but slide being toggle feels so wrong), but the slide working as a dodge attack makes everything click together and turns most of the dealbreakers into annoyances. Definitely bumping this up a few points after replaying it.
