My feelings regarding this game are a little complicated.
I beat the first game just a night before starting this one and really enjoyed it, the stealth gameplay of the first and absolutely having to be sneaky really appealed to me, and as did the art and setting.
This game is not that game, but that doesn't mean it's bad, just different.
This game is closer in style to Assassin's Creed or Shadow of Mordor than Aragami or Tenchu. It is super fun, though different kind of fun. Aragami is tense and methodical, this game is fast and punchy. Where it does stumble and fail however is the repetition, there are 51 missions in the game, and only a small handful of maps. Worst of all many of those missions are the definition of filler and should have been optional, but missions that boil down to (find 6 sacks of food) are somehow a main quest, and are the majority of them.
Listen, if you want fun stealth gameplay that awards being sneaky, a fast and great parkour/traversal system, great artstyle, and a lot of content and can handle some repetition this is a worthy investment as there is a lot of content, but towards the end of this game it did feel like a chore for me. In the end I would recommend it, but with those important caveats above.
