Gameplay is as amazing as you'd expect from Team Ninja, but like Nioh pretty much everything else is medicore.
Level design still sucks.
The mission structure approach does more to the hurt the game than help.
Bosses can be good from time to time but overall are pretty forgettable. (There's only 1 really memorable boss)
Wo Long is also far far easier than Nioh 1 or 2 and one of the easiest souls likes I've played.
The games also far shorter than I'd seen reported anywhere, the general consensus was 30 hours to do all quests but I clocked in at 17 hours finishing everything available at the end of a first playthrough.
Lastly the visuals are super dated, barely looking like a ps4 launch title.
Overall everything other than combat amounts to around a 2 or 3/10, but the combat is so varied and enjoyable that I had a lot of fun playing through this. Certainly not a must play for anyone who's a fan of these games but if you can grab it for 10-20 dollars you'll get your moneys worth.
