Shadows of the Blades review after a 45-hour run: 30 main weapons and about 56 boss fights

The author finished Shadows of the Blades on the highest first-playthrough difficulty with 95% collection in 45 hours. The piece counts 30 main weapons and 25 sub-weapons with no shared movesets, plus about 56 boss fights across the campaign. On an RTX 3070 at 1080p high settings combat held around 90 fps, while an RTX 5090D at 2K max settings reached about 120 fps, which the author calls adequate rather than especially strong.
