So far my first impression is pretty good. There are some things people want to know though. This isn't souls nor bloodborne. Instead this game has a story with a main character. MOST NPC's can't be killed by the player by hitting them. The stamina bar has been replaced with a posture meter that is invisible and only shows when you take posture dmg. There are no starting classes of the sort. You have skill trees you can level up with skill points. You loose half of your gold and a bit of xp upon death unless you have unseen aid. I take it miyazaki wanted to create a story-based game in his own vision since the previous games never really had a pre-defined character. That being said this game has a bit of a learning curve. There is no multiplayer (That's better in my book). If you like ninja games with stealth and loud this game is for you. Oddly reminds me of the Tenchu series.
