Yeah, guys... it's a good game.
Gameplay is Nioh and I fw that (a pretty good Nioh tbh, maybe a bit too easy), but I get why it isn't for everybody. The weapons have a nice variety of moves, the jobs system adds a good layer of customization and the Sekiroish posture bar + different attacks with specific responses compliments everything pretty well.
I was just expecting your average bs writing because of how infamous this game became, but it's just and enjoyable silly game, and that's fine. You get the goofiest and most unhinged scenes (and i mean it in a good way), you can have a laugh at the clichés of the IP, you get a healthy dosis of fanservice/tribute to the whole franchise, you get a compelling ending to nicely wrap the story (even if it isn't anything mind blowing) and most importantly, you get CHAOS. Did people just miss half the game being satirical? Did they expect a life-changing plot? I know FF has some dense fans, but c'mon, it's so explicitly meant not to be taken too seriously.
