I’ve played lots of games in my day, and most of them I play them until I finish it to the end, with a portion of those games reaching 100% or Platinum status. 8 hours into this game split by 2, 4 hour game sessions (not much at all, I know but like I said, I’ve gamed plenty in my day,) and it’s enough time, for me at least, to go ahead and leave this comment stating that as a fact, in my record books, I can tell you that this is one of the most absolutely gorgeous games I’ve seen this year and very much so to date so far. There’s no denying the beauty in its art form, from all the sweet elements, intricate details, visualizing effects, serenading sounds, excellent voice overs, historic time setting and very well composed music, coming together seamlessly to create this instant classic and captivating world. You can immediately see the stunning and significant upgrade compared to Tsushima, just an incredibly polished and quality game. The story has me very much intrigued, am loving every moment of it so far, the characters are fluid and in sync with their animations, the introduction should evoke the appropriate emotional state to begin the journey as it has for me, and not much else I can comment on the story yet since I’ve only just begun, but I am convinced that it will continue to keep me thoroughly entertained until it reaches the end. My pre review so far places this PS Exclusive title amongst those of the highest caliber you can ask for from an Action/Open World/RPG/Adventure game.
