Easily my favorite game so far this year until at least when Cyberpunk comes out then we will see. Anyways, this game easily blew my expectations out of the water. I never played the original growing up but I was always intrigued about the franchise especially 7 since it had all the hype around it. I am proud to say I love this game from to finish.
The gameplay was flashy and smooth and every blow was satisfying to do. I enjoyed all the special moves take multiple enemies at once and all the enemies were pretty interesting and each one had strengths and weaknesses. The story was pretty clear and understanding for the most part and voice acting was top notch. The cutscenes felt like it came straight from a high budget movie. Also, if anyone was afraid of length don't worry you could put 40 hours into this game easily. I can't wait for Part 2 to come out.
