I've loved the souls games, Nioh. Loved the gear system.
With Wo Long it feels like a half baked version of nioh. Collectibles could have had better incentives like the kodama did... the gear system could Def be fleshed out better like nioh.
Fights are good and hard but the gear/builds are lacking, game itself lacks a lot of replay ability with the current state of things. 5 star gear is rare and can be one of like 15 grace sets randomly. You'd have to farm for days to get "heavy" or another armor type of all one Grace.
Maybe dlc will fix some things.
