This is undoubtedly one of the best single player games I have played in a long time, both the story and the setting are represented beautifully and draws you into the game in a way few others manage.
Side quests and objectives give the game a fulfilling vibe outside of the main story and provides you with a real sense that what you are doing truly matters as well as allowing you to flesh out your own samurai experience in feudal japan.
I would easily recommend this to anyone to who is looking for a immersive single player experience.
