It's a delight to play such a gorgeous game as this one. The bits of detail in almost every nook & cranny are so satisfying to observe during all the gameplay, specially if you like the art style and theme.

It gets some points of japanese culture, legends and shintoism myths quite well, but not a 1 to 1 representation, which gives the feeling of a rewriting of said myths to match with a 30-hour game plot. Really good characters and story progression.

I don't need to talk about soundtrack. If you like old japanese instruments such as taiko, shamisen and koto, you will absolutely love it, without a doubt.

Overall, one of the best aesthetics I experienced in a game. It being from 2006 and still being this good has its value. So if you heard somewhere that this game is THE GOAT, go for it. It's true, all the stories are true.
