I'm having a difficult time not buying this, it looks really solid. More solid than that aggregate would suggest. It looks like the pulled off the fusion of Souls, Sekiro and Nioh and done it well in the core combat and if that is good enough and the bosses are also, I'm happy, I can play these games with weaker level design, I hot through Lies of P afterall. The fusion of the subgenres is something Team Ninja has tried to do but couldn't land it properly with Wu Long Fallen Dynasty. The level design looks pretty bland alright but Nioh 2 is fantastic despite some terrible mission locations and no cohesion in level design. The core combat is enough to sell me, what's putting me off asides from the greatsword being the only viable weapon for me and it's missing a dex weapon or potential dex build, is the option of an easy mode and that may be too tempting if I get stuck ruining the point of the genre for me and why I play these games to overcome challenge and get into flow states against a boss I've been learning. Gonna play the demo through fully this time and make a decision. I may be able to hold off, save some money waiting for a sale, maybe fill the void with Nine Sols or something but if I do I'll certainly be itching for this game and looking forward to its first sale.
