**Attention: close to EVERY negative review you see for this game is entirely political and has absolutely nothing to do with the game itself. Some people are very upset about how one minor developer expressed their views about the Charlie Kirk incident who was then FIRED immediately - they are struggling to see past their rage and do not understand that this way of expressing/attacking is absolutely irrelevant and ineffective - do not base your decision on these unskillful comments and miss out on the masterpiece that this game is!!** 💯 Exactly what I expected - completely polished and refined amazing gameplay!! Everything just hits incredibly well - I have 0 negative feedback at the moment, about 10 hours in. Story, combat, cinematics, music, exploration, visuals - I could just go on but they’re all 10/10. The quality is that of the same calibre as God of War - PS just knows how to knock it out of the park with the exclusives. Likely my GotY here, tying up with Clair Obscur. Don’t deprive yourself of it if you can - especially not for a totally fanatical & disproportionate response coming from a wounded community. Happy Hunting!!!!

This film was such a letdown… please do not waste your time it’s so corny… 😭

I came back to this after a second try because I just kept hearing how iconic is was. Very glad I did that. It’s one of the most beautiful and weird games I’ve played and I thing it’s a bit of a genius game from Kojima (like a lot of his work..!). Only piece of advice I would give is, if you’re looking to be more completionist or do a lot of the side content, make sure you level up your star connections as you go otherwise you’ll find yourself ahead quickly with way too much backtracking to do.

Okay I’m going to give this 5 stars because it’s essentially just like the first game, but much more fleshed out and WAY bigger - though my experience was more of a 4 star vibe. This is my only issue with it. I burnt out at around 140hours into the second act! I absolutely adored the first game and gladly dumped that much time into it - even took a break in-between so that I could avoid the fatigue as much as possible, but still it was too much of the same for me and way too big. Also not challenging at all once you get good at the combat. Anyone who wants to play it either give yourself a solid break in between part 1 and part 2 or start with 2. That being said, I LOVED the first game and experiencing first-hand how Henry built his way up from scratch. Enjoy!

Love this game - did not expect to enjoy it so much since it looked a little basic and repetitive in design. Something about the atmosphere, the characters, the nice pacing between battles & overworld management… it just comes together quite nicely. Has a bit of an old school vibe which is appreciated as well, and for the price point it’s a total buy. It’s not like a WOW game by my standards, but it’s solid fun and will have you dumping time in regardless! A must for any King Arthur-world fans!!

I’ve been slowly entering the world of these horror games ever since I played TLOU, so I’ve had an eye on this for a while - just waiting for a discount because I know it’s a bit of a shorter game for the price…. ANYWAY it was everything I expected and more! Absolutely terrifying, stark, profound, disturbing, hauntingly beautiful, eerie, impactful, etc. Definitely the scariest game I’ve played and not the most obvious story-line, but amazing soundtrack, very thrilling and intense. Highly recommended if it’s your kind of thing!!

Honestly stunned & in awe! It looked good before it released, but I had no idea it was going to be THIS good. Downloaded Oblivion Remastered a day before, then saw and heard more about this and decided to grab it as well due to its more reasonable price - best decision EVER. Not usually so solidly into games this early but this is hands down my GotY so far in 2025. No question! ~20h in so far, finished Act I and it was absolutely amazing!! Will update later.

UPDATE: About ~50 hours in now and still having an absolutely blast. It is clear now that all the review bombing and negative criticisms are purely coming from political zealots who have had no experience with the actual enjoyment of the game. Steer clear of the nonsense. Honestly, I’m obsessed so far. The stealth mechanics are so good, none of the recent AC games have done it as well as this! You really have to be in your toes each time to know how to approach a situation using Naoe. Yasuke is an absolute powerhouse, and the further you get along the more intricate his Samurai skills develop! I love being able to choose between two very different approaches for each situation. Ghost of Tsushima is probably one of my favourite games of all time, and after getting (and being disappointed by) Rise of the Ronin - this is the next best thing I have encountered since! It’s like GoT but with more emphasis on the stealth and it is an absolute blast. In fact, as time has gone on there is a lot this game does better than GoT, but I love them for different reasons! Heard some comments about how the story is lack-lustre but I don’t know what people are judging this based on because the story-telling is riveting and moving? I think often times people confuse pure originality for good story telling - you don’t have to re-invent the wheel every time, it’s about how it’s done not the content every time. Have really been surprised with how engaging the story has been! Stunning (visually) game and if you are having any doubts, I highly recommend taking the risk! It’s worth it!!! Easy GotY contender here - I didn’t think it could be this good!

This was so so so good. I was very skeptical going in because I adored the original so much and these days pumped out sequels are more often than not garbage. But, wow! I’m glad I took the chance because it was brilliant! It’s worth it!

Wow - I’m so glad I came back to this years after purchasing it and thinking not much of it. What a beautiful game! It takes a little to get into it but the learning curve is so fascinating and rewarding. Honestly, the combat system is where it really shines and it feels great when you really get into it. It’s kind of like what Elder Scrolls combat could have been if they polished it further. Story is gripping, grounded in a realistic world and fascinating from start to finish. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you can get into it, it’s a wonderful ride through the lands! Henry of Skalitz is just such a great character to develop and I think he belongs in the Hall of Famers now lol. I’d give it a solid 9/10, just a little docked for the bugginess on PS5 (crashed a few times that were at big moments) and also just because it feels a bit unpolished - both things I can see the sequel really cleaning up! Bravo!! Great work!
