Another fine open-world game like H:ZD with some unique mechanics sprinkled in that break up some monotony. The haiku mini game is fun, and the swordfighting starts to get fun once you get upgrades, but even then I felt the repetitiveness of the fighting within maybe 2 hours. If GTA is mostly driving, and Red Dead is riding a horse, then this is mostly stabbing and slicing people. That sounds like a lot of fun, and it is occasionally, but the situations/styles of fighting are too similar to warrant a 20+ hour game for me. I will admit the story won me over by the end. The climax was pretty great, and more nuanced than I anticipated with these meh characters.
