To start by addressing the negative reviews, I think they just overestimate their PC. I am playing with components that were pretty good all the way back in 2018 (GTX 2060) and it runs perfectly. I think the problems with peoples PCs are they are trying to run a 2023 game on a computer that has a potato for the GPU, a chunk of onion for the CPU, a coconut for the tower, and some stolen brain cells from already lacking orange cats. This is fine if you are trying to play games from 2013 and I am not trying to insult other people, but I am thinking their computers cannot handle it.

As for the gameplay, it is defintely only about deflecting usually, and this could possibly be improved, but it does feel different from the Nioh series. What it lacks in its combat style it does do well in its story. It also does try to do some other unique things and streamline others.

Last of all, while I do think this game is good, I do think Nioh is better. However, both are very fun games.
