i was really hopeful about this game, especially since i had really enjoyed 0 and kiwami. everything about the game just felt... off? combat was weird and walking around town was weirdly difficult. and because of that i couldnt be bothered to pick up any substories, which made the story not very engaging because i couldnt really get a break from it. i will admit i was a little sad that battle styles werent present in this game, but i was willing to let it go... until it started feeling like there was more emphasis on using weapons. idk i really liked the hand to hand combat present in the previous 2 games, but some fights were basically impossible without using a weapon in kiwami 2. maybe i will give it a second chance because im sure its a good game and im just bad at it

also majima saga was very good and i liked that they included the cabaret minigame again
