In all honesty I don't understand all the negative reviews.

Over 36 hours of game play where I finished the entire game and all side missions I had maybe 5 or 6 crashes. The game is an absolute piece of art and I enjoyed every minute of it. I had no optimization nor performance issues, unless you count a handful of crashes, but for a day 1 release I don't find that too bad when you compare it to many other releases (callisto protocol/forpsoken etc). Nothing a patch can't fix.

It plays like Nioh with some hints of Sekiro, it isn't that hard when you learn the mechanics and adept to the playstyle. Just git gud ;)

Will definitely be doing NG+
