Finished it up tonight. Really enjoyed my time with it. Combat remained satisfying though I completely ignored any elemental stuff. The game was surpassingly easy, the only boss towards the end I had to try multiple times against was the very last one. I’m ok with a game not being shit-pushingly difficult.
It’s just a tight action RPG that has some great ideas but does feel one trick in few different aspects. Mainly the reliance on parry, loot, and enemy design. Too much feels too similar.
The game looked really great in HDR on my OLED. While not a graphical powerhouse by any means, the art design really carried it and made for some really pretty environments. Ran really smooth as well.
I’d put this a solid notch below Nioh 2 but definitely above Nioh. Cool to see Team Ninja trying something new in their formula.
