Gameplay is excellent, but a bit too easy, but i don't mind that. so i give that a 4/5.
The story is nothing special in my opinion, so that's a 3/5.
The new protagonist(Yakumo) is just like a mainstream emo anime character and even his attitude is like an emo anime character. So i give that a 1/5.
Ryu needs to be more playable, more than 60%, while it's not. 2/5
No playable ayane, kasumi or momiji. 1/5
Cover art is missleading 2/5.
Doesn't feel like a NG game, more like a spinoff with a new character in that world. 2/5
[SPOILER]
Yakumo attacks Ayane? Biggest BS. I hope she kicks his ass eventually. I'm not that far yet. 2/5
Overall: As a huge NG and DOA fan and the lore behind those. It's just sad. I was expecting so much, a fresh start after all these years. With Ryu, ayane, kasumi and momiji. It's not a bad game, but it is not what i have expected
