Nov. 2024

I really had a problem whether to give this game a positive or negative review. I have chosen positive because the game is beautiful, the camera movement does a great job at creating a stunning cinematic experience. This is somehow similar to Journey in my opinion. I really enjoyed slowly walking through the locations to admire them. But that is all in terms of positives. The story is not bad but nothing special. Since the views and scenery are the greatest asset of the game, I really regret not playing it on the easiest difficulty. Because combat is TERRIBLE. Reach and hitboxes are ambiguous. Animations are badly timed. The character is sluggish in responses. Out of more than a dozen combos 3 or 4 are actually useful. Stamina is just an annoying limit which only purpose is to grant enemies some free hits from time to time. Dodges are inconsistent in their behaviour and hard to time appropriately. Not to mention that enemies are boring, range weapons are more of a gimmick than a useful tool, and the whole combat is hardly rewarding. Additionally controls on an Xbox controller are the most non-intuitive ones I have ever seen and they cannot be changed. Hence my hesitation whether positive or negative review. The game is mostly about combat after all, and combat is awful and frustrating.

This game really is one of a kind. The story is well crafted and keeps you engage throughout the game. My only critique is, even though the game has loads of diversity within it's combat, I found that I could not be bothered with most of the techniques. There's one specific one which is way too op in which I found myself using for each combat encounter.

So the good first: I love the artstyle,unique and consistent troughout,coupled with the camera angle and the set-pieces it's an interactive movie...and this is where it splits apart.If it were an FMV/Interactive WS then it would easily be a 9/10,however we are talking about a hack-n-slash...of sorts. Gameplay: A bit off a mess,you have good combos yet you will rarely use more than 2 or 3,primarily stun + finisher to recover health.Enemy attacks are supposedly telegraphed but it's 50/50 if it will hit you or if yours will connect.Enemy variety is fine in terms of different attacks,I've seen some ppl have complaints about variety but I think its sufficient,the problem is rather the A.I. itself,fighting swordsmen and specters is balanced but Spearmen & Headbutters is just painful,forget comboing just create distance and shoot them (kind of strange for a Samurai game no ? ).In short balance sucks and those flashy moves aren't going to be used for 2 reasons,the first I've stated,so you might be thinking ok just play it on easy,however then enemies die in 1-3 hits making the combos yet again wasted.Movement is also clunky at times,or the enemy jumps 20 meters but just as you are about to hit.In terms of gameplay I'd go with a 3/10 not enjoyable,which is a shame considering the theme.And while on the subject of wasted potential.... Story: Cookie-cutter through and trough,the dubious voice acting doesn't help either.You have the typical oblivious goodie-two shoes protagonist,Sensei that dies instantly,Love interest that goes fucking nowhere and well I can't even call him an antagonist but the main "bad guy" of the story who is just P O W E R & G R E E D,however his presence is never strong enough to warrant any attention.This is basically the main story,Sensei dies,Then your love dies and then you go to Hell/Heaven,yet Hell/Heaven decides on some cosmic irony to send you back to kill the big bad or there won't be any balance to the universe...like some guy who to our knowledge has plundered 3 villages is the next Armaggedon or smth.So yea main story 0/10. There are some moments after CH4 which as a player I enjoyed,its more of self-reflection and values on the part of the player which is hightened a lot by the visuals,now that part if that was the main story I would have considered this as a pretty good niche game,as it stands now it's a rough gem that is visually appealing and separates itself from most titles that go for hyper realism or just goofy trash. 結論として: Artstyle & Visuals are worth the buy if it's on a very steep discount,if you are looking for combat or a good story you won't find it here.

Unforgettable experience from start to finish. Outstanding presentation and atmosphere, simple, yet satisfying gameplay. Combat truly shines on 'Ronin' difficulty and in my opinion it is the best option for a first playthrough. In terms of technical performance I had a single crash in all of the hours played, so there is that. In general - if you ever wanted to play a classic samurai movie, this game will provide.

Jan. 2024

Played this with the UEVR Mod and had lots of fun in VR. the environments are breathtaking, great atmosphere. The combat is okay, but gets repetitive. If you have VR i'd say it's worth a play through on sale.
