I don’t have a ton to say about this one honestly. It’s a Samurai game set in an interesting time period with a solid combat system and a lackluster story.
The combat largely focuses on weapon variety and a satisfying parrying system and it is by far the standout aspect of the game. You get plenty of options on how you want to tackle fights with different weapons and styles on said weapons which essentially enforces a kind of rock paper scissors system built in to counter what your foes are doing.
The performance is…not great and kind of a disappointment given the downgrade in visual fidelity from something like Ghost of Tsushima, a title this game is (rightfully) compared to quite a bit. The game struggles to maintain the 60 FPS target a lot of the time and looks somewhat muddy especially on high end displays.
Overall, a decent experience that I’d recommend to fans of the action genre, but definitely wait for a sale as I find the asking price of $70 to be a bit steep for what you’re getting here.
