Positives [+] and Negatives [-]
+ Beautiful world design.
+ Amazing and satisfying combat.
+ Interesting story based in feudal Japan.
+ Side quests and tales are fun to do.
- Touchpad gestures are annoying. Not a fan of this controller feature in general.
- Jumping and vaulting can be off.
- Use of Control Schemes.
I came into this game thinking I will get a "Witcher 3 meets Sekiro" and I'm not disappointed. It's not as challenging as Sekiro, but I really enjoyed the combat and the story.
The combat may be fun, but it can be wonky at times. I found myself restarting to the latest checkpoint a lot. For most of the game, I decided to go for the stealth route. Sometimes, I would charge and go "guns blazing", especially once I unlocked Ghost Stance. For most of the fights, the archers suck and difficult to deal with when groups of enemies are coming at me; I would try to go for the archers first.
The exploration is a beauty and calming. I believe there's too many enemy patrols on the main roads. It takes away from being engulfed in the open world. Even worse when the patrols include horsemen.
I never like control layouts with these type of games. I would prefer if developers allow us to assign what each button does. But it's not so bad unlike certain games.
