Wrapped it up last night. Once again I consistently fail to look at anything in my inventory that’s not upgrade materials. Right before I hit the final stages I unloaded all of my QI and gained around 450k or so. I used nothing else beside my Dragon upgrades, smithing materials and Qi.
Overall, I enjoyed the game. I like the morale system but I feel it made the game really easy. Getting to lvl 25 wasn’t that difficult and makes you pretty OP as you move up the ranking. The 1v1 battles were fun for the most part but there was a lot (A TON) of walk n block going on. The parry system was fine, however, they really needed different parry situations. Sekiro didn't just revolve around sword play, they also forced Mikiri and jump counters. Wo Long had none of these and the parry was able to counter every single attack in the game outside of unblockables. This led to bosses and 1v1 encounters becoming shallow.
Stance switches, Burst counters and a Parry would make for an excellent game, imo. I felt the Nioh 2 bosses were not only more challenging, but they were much more unique in their design and attack patterns.
I want to restate, I did really enjoy the game for what it was, I just feel there is a lot of room for improvement. Maybe we'll see more counter options down the line.
Lui Bei, btw, was CHEAP!
