TL;DR: Visuals and sidequests were the best part of this game, main story felt lacking and gameplay was okay.
I really had high hopes for this game because the visuals and concepts were amazing. I was hyped to play this when the first trailer dropped.
My rating for this game is carried mostly by the visuals. The environments were stunning and just the right amount of weird at some points, and the designs of the yokai and visitors were pretty awesome.
Storywise, the main scenario was okay. By the time I finished it, it still felt like something was lacking. I didn't feel fully satisfied by the ending. HOWEVER – I think I enjoyed the sidequests way more than the actual main story itself. As a fan of yokai and Japanese folklore, I really liked going through each of the sidequests and seeing all those references.
Gameplay was only okay. Battle mechanics were cool at first, but I feel like at times the controls were not as responsive as I would have liked. I think it possibly had something to do with the adaptive triggers on the PS5.
