So far it feels like a downgrade to Nioh 2 in many ways. The budget bin parry combat is nowhere as good as Sekiro and theres so many downgrades to Nioh 2. Shit like being unable to preview cosmetics you apply to armor is baffling. It feels like the combat also never improves or evolves past the tutorial. Nioh 2 always kept getting better and better the longer you kept playing but this game does not evolve at all. It feels weird how Stranger of Paradise felt like it was made by a B team at Team Ninja but this game makes SoP look like a much better game. Not saying SoP is a bad game, hell I really loved the shit out of that game despite showing it didnt have much of a budget. I really hope Rise of the Ronin will be better considering SoP and Wo Long felt like they were made by different teams.

Performance and visualwise it looks fine on Series S. The game isnt a looker but I do appreciate it runs at 60 fps with no issues. Only problem is that you'll have tons of shadow and texture pop ins at close range but I'll take that for stable 60 fps. PC users however are really fucked, absolutely do not recommend playing this on the PC. Another quality pc port by Team Ninja.

Not rating it yet since I haven't beaten the game but so far 2 and a half stars is the best I can give. I think I'm just going to try out the DLC for Stranger of Paradise instead.

When you beat the game you'll hear a guy yell "YEAH!!!" really loud with a message box saying "YOU ARE AWSOME!". Pretty much the highlight of a game filled with endless retexured mazes. Pure liquid sewage.

Great game but one of the few games where I wished it was a bit shorter. It really starts to drag on halfway and the scare factor is pretty much gone.

Amazing story but everything else is in a far worse state than before. Job identity is almost gone and the only worthwhile content now is doing ultimates which I never do. Criterion dungeons are underwhelming and Island Sanctuary is an absolute waste of a feature. The new deep dungeon might salvage it a bit more but contentwise it's the least fun I had.
