Too tired to make a review anyways . But need to say how much i enjoyed the game !

Set in the events of the Bakumatsu era, shortly before the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Japan and the United States to the Fall of Edo. Its narrative presentation is akin to a historical drama unfolding through the your eyes. .You take role as veiled blade with ur twin who goes crazy and need to beat her/his ass, while see plot unfolding.

Combat so good, and u spent 90% of the time separating head from body. I never get bored. The open world is okay i guess, u has lots of travel points, and u can fly. side quests all the same nothing unique. beat more people.

Almost 50 hours in, almost 100% the game, but i think i already spent too much time and need to move on to other games .

the ending seems like sequel ! Looking forward to it !

Verdict : 9/10 !

This game is /fun/, more fun than it honestly has a right to be considering the constant drops in fps and the generally awful way it loads. But it has so many great mechanics. an interesting story and a combat I …

Man its such an amazing shame that such a thoroughly enjoyable game is held back by the atrocious optimization. This game is /fun/, more fun than it honestly has a right to be considering the constant drops in fps and the generally awful way it loads. But it has so many great mechanics. an interesting story and a combat I honestly don't get tired of.

I really hope Team Ninja can fix it.

Rise of the Ronin on the cover of Famitsu magazine!
enter image description here
Dragon’s Dogma 2 with the smallest text on the page… Elden Ring DLC is a bigger headline! Hopefully DD2 gets a cover next week. Looking forward to both games!

Wait... this is not an open world action adventur...

This is a soulslike!

(More like a 'sekirolike', actually)
