Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
the game focuses on one playable character, which is a departure for the series but the weapon movesets seem so good that they sorta make up for it, for me. but yea thats a thing. its a different game content wise. but at the same time, it feels like a natural and amazing evolution with its large scale battles and combat. the story is pretty damn engaging and kinda coolest in the whole series to me.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
A few improvements I'd like to see is a better indicator of parry timing, gets really confusing against some officers, and of course the return of a co-op mode with even harder battles for multiple players to strategize through!
