This game is literally everything the YouTube community complain about but yet they give it high praise. The pop in the crazy. Objects and humans popping right in your face. There's some quests that are even more elusive than anything in dark souls. The enemy variety. By like hour 20 you've seen everything, they just add an extra health bar and call it a variant. By mid game you're so powerful that everything gets deleted in about 5 seconds but the enemies still have two health bars. Idk overall this game is no where near a 10. It's very clunky and repetitive.

Don't listen to the negative reviews. This freaking game is amazing. It's like Nioh and Wo Long in perfect synergy. Weapons have 16 different moves to them. The death animations are top notch. Challenging bosses, everything you expect in a team ninja game but open world. Listening to reviews I held off but my buddy convinced me to buy it. I'm addicted. I wasn't a fan of Wo Long combat but loved nioh combat and having them blended to perfection. Idk I don't play games for graphics I play them for fun factor. And this games fun factor is through the roof. The game has a ton of hours to log in, it's no short game, tons of content. They may not have the best horse animation but when you look past that, what's more important fun combat or the looks of a horse when it runs? They focused on the combat and it hits Good! For me team ninja has never really concerned me with their graphics I just know they have top notch combat and it delivers.

I honestly don't know how this game is rated so high. I mean maybe if the game was in Japanese the tutorials would be better. But having never played FF7, I played the remake and thought everything was polished nicely. This game is just down right terrible at times. The lighting in caves just goes completely black for the first 50 ft in the cave, can't even see your character. In the remake you had to do like a pull up challenge this time it's sit ups but instead of using triangle circle blah blah they use all the trigger buttons knowing the controls get slightly harder to press every time. The combat simulator there's times where it'll steal your camera just to swollow your character with unblockable instead of allowing you to dodge it. They put some of the most obnoxious monsters together. 3 that stay underground the whole fight only doing red attacks to your characters. And you have to just get lucky to hit one with another character as it pops out. Or another where the AI is so freaking stupid you put something to sleep just for the AI to continue fighting it to wake it up. This game deserves like a 5/10. The open world aspect is like 3 activities that you just repeat for the 100+ hours of the game

I hope if you are planning on buying this game you get to read this review before doing so. This is on PS5. You will reach a burning area relatively early in the game still and the frame rate is very bad. You'll be fighting what used to be a boss and is now a normal enemy and the frames are all over the place making it impossible to dodge. Every enemy you fight is in a very small hallway. The entire game is like this, just one long hallway. You get stuck on EVERYTHING when you try to roll. You can't roll past even basic enemies they will just pin you in a spot. Ever since I've gotten to the fire area my game is repetitively crashing. The fire is actually square pixels moving. It's bad. And the camera is the last thing I'll bring up. You try to lock on and unless it's clearly in front of you the camera just goes freaking crazy. And as I said this entire game is one long hallway. So if you imagine dark souls camera but just always in a hallway you get my drift. Not fun. And I don't know if enough people are talking about it.
