Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
20 of 133 sampled reviews raised it
A great game that has endless replayability with a deep but outwardly simple design.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 133 sampled reviews raised it
And while the graphics show their age the writing is still well done and I think the artwork in the still shots is still enjoyable.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
11 of 133 sampled reviews raised it
The melee is probably the most involved of the lot, as you're still a fragile human, and you need to, with your bow & katana, fight against dozens of enemies.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
8 of 133 sampled reviews raised it
The ending is also cool, as your ending varies on many factors like your land amount and honor.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 133 sampled reviews raised it
That's when you learn to hate the spear wielding enemies and that's when you see the enemy AI be smart, especially on higher difficulty.
