I can't see it getting any worse, The first Boss is about 10 hours into the game for me as I branched out In multiple directions. Unless the game takes one hell of a nose dive which I doubt it will, it is already (these ten hours alone) the best game I've played this year and the best Ninja game I've ever played. |
Fair enough, the game's mini-bosses do make the stretch to the first real boss kind of long in comparison to other first bosses in Souls games. Though, "best Ninja game" is kind of a weird description, since those kind of titles can play vastly differently from each other and they aren't really genres 
I also don't think it would be hard to be one of the best Ninja games ever, it's not an especially profound title.
Also, Dark Souls' 2nd half is known to be not as good as the first half, and Dark Souls 2 took months till it became a rather contentious title (before that everybody loved it), so I just think From Software has a track record where judging the title early on in a playthrough to the extent of calling it a game of the year contender and THE BEST at anything - isn't the wisest thing to do. That's just me being weary and skeptical though, obviously you can do what ye want. Obviously though just saying it's great or good or bad makes sense, judging in general is only natural.
But I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've played a few hours and it's definitely somewhat fun. Not really as much of a departure as people are describing, but it's fun at least.
