I fell in love with this game. The gameplay is so smooth all these years later and easily some of the fastest in the series. Unlocking characters and levelling them up was so addictive. And the story/history is engaging (if albeit simply presented) and the characters uniquely designed. My only complaint is in the Chronicle mode, which while fun and took up the majority of my playtime, does suffer from having limited mission variety. Genuinely if they added just 2-4 more mission types this game would be 100% for me. Aside from that though, highly recommend this game! Play some samurai from history and kill thousands while learning their story!
