Did a blind buy/pre-order of this game today due to the really good reviews. Is this going to be like Sekiro, meaning so hard that it's miserable to play? Na, it’s not Soulsborne style. More Assassins Creed with some Arkham style mechanics (apparently)

Enemies will even do that little glow-y arc above their heads to signify when to counter and such.

I've been wanting a samurai game for ages but I'm beyond sick of open world games. Has got to be one of my least favorite genres ever.

Edit: I found this on reddit: linkYeah, maybe I should pre-order. I generally hate buying games new, but this seems like the swan song for the PS4.

I haven’t read the review but you probably shouldn’t take a Famitsu score at face value. They’re a pretty bad publication.

Easy Allies gives it an 8.5. Explore your ass off is essentially the tale of this because it is worth it is the vibe i'm getting. Open World that isn't empty or sake of being an open world

Bought and preloaded it. Maybe this will wash some of that TLOUS 2 taste out of my mouth.

Pre-ordered it as well and it shipped out today so I should get it on Friday. Can't start it until Sunday though because I have to open at my job this weekend. Booo.

I keep watching snippets of reviews and I’m getting more and more pumped. It looks so damn good!

Really hoping this decides to arrive a day early like LoU2 did.

The comparisons to Mordor have me worried. I did NOT enjoy that game at all...even though it looked cool and started cool. I just couldn't get through it giving it quite the chance.
I'm very interested in the walkthroughs that will be coming out real soon for this, though. I want to see the basics before I decide to get it. Although, I do have other games I should really be playing instead...

The comparison to Morder is only in the Batman open world aspect with Assassin creed vibes Morder is built on the nemesis system so everything else is sort of there. With GoT, this is built on the world as a whole. Reviews I have have basically said exploring the world is 100% to your benefit and everything meshes well together that you're not just doing shit. In a sense, that reminds me of Red Dead 2 open world which was always live. If the open world aspect is anything like that, they are on and firing

Another good reviewer I listen too
Story is 30 plus hours Sound is excellent Game one of the most prettiest ever The world is "alive". Things like dead time is filled with convos in the world ala Red Dead. Sometimes missions you won't do until later is found early in terms of the world talking about things like characters Combat system is a blast
100% a buy from him
