What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
As for combat, Way of the Samurai 4 does a few things worse than its precessors, such as the removal of the Heat mechanic and One Hit Kill mode, but makes up for it with a myriad of refinements to the combat system, including a separation of styles from swords.
-more narrative focused and serious. its story is simply better, with more characters that are all deeper, and it has much more endings (22 total, not counting death in combat, and a secret one).
I enjoyed the replayability of the game a lot back in year 2015, and I managed to squeeze more juice out of it nearly 10 years later by unlocking more accessories and story branches that you can probably never complete without a miracle or a guide.
The combat system is incredibly deep, there are plenty of character customization options available to you once you unlock them, and you can climb the ranks of difficulty with each subsequent playthrough ...
You're also given quite a lot of variety in terms of character customization, weapons and stances.
Controls are fully remappable for both controller and keyboard, with mouse support available in menus.
