I finally finished it the other night. It was a really good game, I give it an 8/10 but definitely not more.
It's the nicest looking videogame I've ever played. The amount of times I just had to stop and look around was silly, at certain times it downright looked real. And I was playing on the base PS4. I've never been one for taking screenshots or using photomodes in games, but I took like 100 of my gameplay
I can only imagine what PS5/XSX games will look like in 5+ years time.
The game had great combat that progressed nicely, great outfits and some decent stories. The best part of the game for me was Act 1, but then I felt it dragged on. Both Act 2 and 3 were essentially the same thing as Act 1 with minor variations, so it overstayed it's welcome near the end and I just wanted it to end. The collectables didn't help either, way too many, so I ended the game without getting all the Records, Artefacts and Flags. I did get all the other stuff though.
The highlight of the game for me (aside from combat which was fun) was Yuriko's quest line. It completely broke me and I wasn't expecting it, it totally punched above the other stories IMO. Whereas the other questlines were a little too extreme and lost me a bit, you only do the revenge angle so much before it just burns out. But Yuriko, that hit me like a sack of bricks and I would love to see a future game focus a little more on variations of story instead of the constant 100mph lust for murder.
