it took three playthroughs for me to be able to beat this lol. first time i bailed on genichiro, second time i bailed on the sword saint. now i have defeated the sword saint with the hardest-to-get ending.
some of the minibosses are difficult because only because it has about 10 other dudes in the arena, and others are difficult only because the room you're in is 2x2 and the camera is intended for a minimum of 8x8 room size.
the feeling of triumphing over a boss might be the strongest in a FROM game. the feeling of obliterating a boss in one try is beautiful.
if anything my big complaint about the combat is when there's dust being kicked up and you see the Perilous symbol appear but the enemy is behind the dust cloud so you have to pick one of three reactions and pray.
another minor problem is you have to unlock the mikiri counter. i feel like a move like that shouldn't be locked in the first place.
i think the folding screen monkeys might be the best gimmick fight in a FROM game. it's so clever and fun and if you know what you're doing it's over quick.
the mist noble, conversely, might be the funniest FROM fight because it's the biggest troll fight in gaming since Mysterio in spider-man 2.
the musical score is probably the weakest in one of their games in a while. i swear there was only one battle theme and while the music isn't bad i didn't find many tracks memorable.
currently debating continuing my NG+ run to do Shura ending or not
i will say i dont get the "jUsT mAsH LB" critiques. i experimented with that and i died or got fucked up every time. maybe try being better at games idk
