Gorgeous looking game with a really fun combat system. I played through the game using mainly the katana. There's an upgrade system where you can use found resources (money, Ki Crystals or Karma) to upgrade your combat abilities, powers or weapons. The story was surprisingly good.

Pros:
-Graphics, especially the 2D cutscenes and varied level design.

-Good story.

-Upgrade system where you can upgrade whatever playstyle fits you.

-Lots of secrets and puns, which lighten the mood of the game, although Wang puns get stale after a while.

-Sword combat is fun as hell.

-A good challenging game.

Cons:
-Lot of bullet sponge type enemies, meaning each engagement took a while to get done with, which is understandable but it gets boring after you stab the same dude 20 times in a row. This, I felt, sort of artificially lengthened the game by quite a bit. It took me around 17 hours to beat it on Hard.

-Loading times could be better considering the challenging difficulties. I had an SSD and loading times were around 10-20 seconds, which adds up if you played it through on harder difficulties like I did and die a lot.

-Physics engine is coded in such a way that if you fall a short distance, such as sprinting downstairs, you would actually die from the fall damage. So don't expect to find yourself rushing through levels.
