I would call it a masterpiece, but let's be real it's not, we're very close though. The best iteration of combat for all the characters involved, a story that keeps you on your toes with the only game that has a great mastermind in this series, crazy good OST, stupid and fun side stories and minigames galore

Great game, compelling characters, just getting held back by the bullshit story a bit. The combat is the best for this engine.

The story takes a while, but it gets there, trust me. The combat has been fucked up on the pc port, so I suggest finding mods to fix the quickstep and guarding. Besides that, it's a fucking great and fun game, I just can't give it more due to the port flaws.
