Great visuals, art direction, and presentation, but sadly, not nearly as much development effort went into the gameplay; there just isn't much going on here mechanically besides some repetitive, so-so combat and a few very rudimentary puzzles, though the level design does get at least slightly more interesting in the later chapters as it introduces some very un-Kurosawa set pieces and supernatural elements. It's fairly short, so I don't regret playing it on Game Pass on easy difficulty just to soak in the graphics, though even on easy, I still encountered some annoying difficulty spikes.
