This games fuckin amazing. The story presented a ton of interesting ideas, and amazingly encapsulated the era and the problems with the feudal culture in japan. The arc that Sakai goes on through the story is really fascinating to see, and the ending is really heart wrenching. Where this game really shines, though, is the combat. I think this is the first time I had to “get good”. The combat is really immersive and fun, taking on hordes of enemies, using Jin’s different abilities to make seamless gameplay was really rewarding. The stealth was also really good which was surprising because that's not really a focus of most open world rpgs. The best part of the game though is easily the dueling system, facing an opponent one on one was really fun, dying while finding out their systems was really rewarding, after defeating Kojiro I actually popped off like I just won genesis man. This game is good asf, play if you wanna be good at video games.
