This game is basically Assassin's Creed Odyssey but set in Japan, and I mean that in the best way possible.
Always thought the AC series really dropped the ball by never having an entry set in Japan, and this game definitely scratches that itch while integrating (read: stealing) all the same concepts that the Creed series did from Witcher III.
Plus it's absolutely gorgeous. I also love the standoff mechanic. I've been foregoing stealth simply because it's so much fun to call out a motherfucker and insta kill him. I've already unlocked the ability where you can kill two in a row that way. It's really satisfying when you get a leader that way.
Also really like the way there are no objective markers, but instead the wind leads you to where you want to go.
I’ve hardly bothered going the stealth route. I’m having way too much fun being a one man army and massacring bases full of Mongols.
This game definitely plays up to the old samurai movie genre in the absolute best possible way.
