from a gameplay standpoint, objectives have checkpoints on the map so you shouldn't miss them even if you don't know what your supposed to do. Most missions start out with solving a murder case, look at body take pics(drawings), talk to people and then fight it out with several minions/boss(culprit). The combo system is pretty easy too. It's bascially a skill tree for each weapon (Katana, spear, 2 handed etc...) mostly combinations of square and triangle (either on the ground or in the air plus charge attacks).
Story wise, there are lots of text as you go talk to people to solve the cases, though as I said the next destination is mapped out so even if you don't know wtf he just said you can continue on ^^. To be honest some stuff can be understood without reading the text (looking for killer -> find clues->fight the culprit). My experince is about 8 hours only so I don't know how complex the story ends up being.
Here is a pic that shows the map (rocking that hair style):
