Sooooooo after seeing reviews, troublesome performance aside, the game is just a boss rush mode? That's the terminology I keep reading. I thought there was going to be a flushed out story to follow along with that of course had boss battles, but I wasn't expecting the game to basically be only boss battles. Not my definition of a "next-gen" experience, but still waiting to see how user reviews turn out at launch.

Yea that's disappointing still a great first effort i guess, but it seems like a very high production nioh which i don't mind. Although i doubt it will run well on ps5.

Edit it seems like there is exporing.

For reference, Chapter 1 was pretty linear, but Chapter 2 I spent near 10+ hours in doing all of the optional content. Was a lot more open with different ways to go, few NPC quests in there too. Also, each Chapter has a "Secret" area that you gain access to by doing a quest of such which usually reward you with an item that helps against the final boss of that chapter.

Yeah I'd say it's still a really good first outing that the studio can then build on top of. Unknown console performance is historically a worrisome sign. We'll find out soon enough.

Okay, so some exploration, but I'm skeptical on them claiming 10+ hours on a single chapter for just optional content. A few different ways to go, a few NPC quests (curious what kind of quests they are) and the secret area (I like that touch btw for each chapter) doesn't sound like something you'll spend more than a handful of hours doing at the most, let alone 10 hours. It's not an open world game, so unless there's dozens upon dozens upon dozens of different areas to go to somehow with additional dozens of NPC quests, I'm pressing X to doubt on this reviewers claim.

But it does seem like the main structure of the game is a boss rush mode. Like you can go straight to that chapters boss if you want, but they did throw in some additional side content to keep you busy if you so choose to.
