Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
127 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Speaking of atmosphere, the story beats were enough to keep me invested in the story, in this new rendition of the oft-mysterious Sengoku era.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
118 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Nobunaga's theme and Mitsuhide's theme slaps, to say the least, and the little leitmotifs and melodies really set the mood for each battle as they are, helping to elevate what are already well done gameplay systems into an immersive, enrapturing experience.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Those is obviously better games, just as WO4 and WO3, however, I really liked the RPG elements and ability to make nearly ultimate weapons yourself (just to be clear, Rare and DLC weapons is actually LESS powerful than those you can craft).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
64 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The new art style looks clean and the whole thing has that satisfying one man army feel.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You get a big roster of characters to unlock, level up, and mess around with plus plenty of stuff to collect.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While that alone may be enough to seal the deal and make a good game, what makes this game exceptional in my eyes is the soundtrack.
