  Good

  I kinda felt like a lot of this game was just decent at best so long as you're playing exactly as intended; may god help you if you spurn the beaten path. This is the first game I've ever player where I had to fight the atrocious topology, exploring is such a pain because so much of the open world is dense foliage and steep hills, I really feel like you're just supposed to let your horse auto-navigate everywhere and at that point why bother having an open world? I kinda like that your primary abilities are divided between two separate characters with opposite play-styles, even if switching between them is a pain. The skill trees felt motivating enough but I don't think that anything could convince me that AC needed a level system, and I've hated it since Syndicate. I don't think any of the characters really appealed to me in any particular way and the English voice acting was really spotty on several supporting characters, which is something I don't usually notice but it stuck out this time. I generally hate rolled loot and this game was no exception, I'm not even sure as to why it is in the game in the first place since legendary gear is so abundant but I did enjoy the modular weapon cosmetics customization. I only played the base-game and I found it to be surprisingly barren of cool supernatural stuff aside from a single ghost in one quest-line and an underwhelming DBD crossover. Why pick old japan if you're afraid to even touch yõkai? Like at least give me a woman in the mountains with several suspicious statues or a beaked turtle with a receding hairline. This game suffers from stability issues and at times makes performing simple actions difficult or impossible, for instance I couldn't sprint for the first 20 hours of my playthrough because I rebound the controls but still had ability 2 on r1+r2 and I guess the game didn't like there being too many buttons bound to r1. I fixed the issue by binding ability 2 to X+r2, which it should have been by default IMO, 4/10 just play AC Valhalla, it goes on sale for way cheaper

  I enjoyed the game until I had the pleasure of fighting the Oni. A random red mist stun and and a random teleport kick -> insta dead. No defense or options to avoid it. I spent 30min on that map and decided it wasnt worth it anymore. Its a complete stone wall for the rest of the game and it was boring, random and made me stop playing.

  its fun

  Listen, it's pretty, it's period accurate in terms of most characters and settings, does a decent job of most things... but it's Ubisoft, right? I spent most of my time following map markers or letting my horse drive itself around with me on its back. In a fight, it's the same fight. From the first scene to whatever scene I reached, same fight. Over and over and over and over. Nothing changed, nothing developed, not much in the way of evolution. Ubisoft style, right? Constant filler. Do every little Temple. Clap your hands, find things, collect "Pages." Shoot things from your horse. Do some little memorisation and melody puzzles. Over and over and over and over. It's worth it probably if you skip the bullshit and just close in on the bad guy assassination targets. I can see getting a really solid sixty hours out of this game, but don't bother exploring too much. It just leads to the over and over and over and over Ubisoft feeling.

  Impressive visually, horribly buggy, story starts off strong then quickly tapers off, uninteresting and grindy gameplay. Can't recommend picking this up even when on sale.

  EDIT - Left original review below. I had just updated to win 11 from 10 and updated all my drivers. It turns out I was having problems in other games too, I just didn't realize it until I spent some time in them. Turns out the latest nvidia drivers are responsible for all of my problems. I found a link for the 525.75 hotfix drivers that were released at the same as game (on reddit, the official nvidia gam ready driver download page only went back to 57x). booted to safe mode, used DDU to completely remove the 581 drivers then installed the 527.75 drivers and the version of the nvidia app that was bundled with it. edited the registry to make sure windows wouldn't try to autoupdate the drivers and rebooted to normal mode. let the nvidia app update (just the app, not the drivers). confirmed from "my rig" that the 525.75 drivers were loaded. redownloaded the game and set everything to medium and 1440p. hit 120 fps sustained in the benchmark. tweaked settings (3080 ti) and ended up with almost everything on high except rtx (low). character model, particles, terrain and fog on on ultra high, kept draw distance and vegetation at high. 90 fps almost rock solid in game with and fsr frame gen enabled (this was almost a requirement to get me over 60 fps on any decent level of detail). dlss native dlaa upscaling. Played 6 hours today didn't see a single hiccup or frame drop. I'll change my review to recommended but it took way too much effort on my part and the response from steam was discouraging to say the least. ORIGINAL BAD REVIEW: This game could be amazing, but it crashes constantly so I can't tell. Steam itself is at least partially responsible for this bad review, and they won't issue a refund because of play time. That say I played for 8 hours, yet 4 of that was troubleshooting and trying to get it to actually finish a benchmark run instead of crashing halfway through. I played for barely 2 uninterrupted hours but had to restart, reload, and re-do the same mission like 6 times because it kept crashing. I've tried to request a refund again with those details, but it looks like I might be stuck with an unplayable game and no recourse.

  Game will not launch on Steam. If I paid for a product, I expect it to work or get my money back; it's not complicated.

  its assassins creed but in japan idk what yall expected 6/10

  bast game 10/10

  great game. 40hrs-ish in. all of a sudden my controller wont work automatically. disconnect controller reconnect controller,disable bluetooth, enable bluetooth, check for updates for controller, is a cyclic dance that sometimes works, sometimes do the process again. fyi, there are no updates for controller. enabled steam input,disabled steam input. very frustrating

  It's more Assassin's Creed, not much to say
