Significantly inferior to the 4’s and 3 in many ways (story, characters, atmosphere and music and yes, even gameplay vs bosses) but still a good game! Exploration-based gameplay should be a must for next entries.
Godly story, industry defining OST and an unchallenged atmosphere that oozes charm. Terrible pacing issues and poor exposition. Horrible and frustrating QOL. Repetitive as fuck.
And yet I am clocking like 62 hours as of now. It’s way too late to stop.
The ending drops off very inorganically but everything else is amazing, like the top notch voice acting and realistic start up drama. Great game overall.
