It’s really not that great of a game. Quality of life is poor and you really have to grind to do anything. Bushes being solid is incredibly annoying considering they make up 3/4 of forests and the jumping mechanics, especially on horses is completely trash. You also can’t practice new combos, because the only person you can practice against will constantly interrupt you with perfect blocks or master strikes. Having everything based on an inconsistent time schedule is also not fun. Towns people are up by 7, but shops don’t open to around 9? The saving system is also incredibly annoying and it’s not uncommon to lose +30 of progress to dying in some way. Bandits are also artificial blockers to progression, because they serve no real purpose other than to annoy you. Even the finer things like graphics, animations and voice acting could be improved. Particularly animations. The fighting combat is also pretty average considering every enemy above bit difficulty will interrupt chains in some way so you’ll never get the satisfying finisher off. Lock picking and archer are both cancer, of you don’t have the upgrades. Even if you try to avoid it, you’ll need it eventually. You can literally be fined or put in jail for not having a torch out. Quality game mechanic
