This game is probably one of my favorite games that has come out in the last 10 years. I'll list pro's and cons below.

Pros:
-story rich
-combat makes sense and is easy to get a hang of
-it looks fantastic
-cheaper than assassin's creed red

Cons:
-combat can be clunky at times, especially when surrounded. I wish there was some sort of lock-on button
-once you go through the tutorial in the game, if you launch legends you pretty much go through another tutorial, but it's not an hour of buildup to get to the actual game
-i was getting some weird graphical issues, but that could have been due to my drivers not being updated

In summary, this game is very much a story driven game, in which you follow Jin Sakai as he tries to free his island in feudal japan from a mongol invasion. There are plenty of side-quests, collectibles and side activities for you to do.

When I played this game on a PS4 Pro, I was blown away by how good the game looked, and played. Playing on a PC, I've been even more impressed. Running a i9 13900k and 4080.

It's pretty much Assassin's Creed: Japan, without being a Ubisoft title and needing the ubi launcher. A PSN account is only needed to unlock PSN Trophies, or to play the Legends mode which is not even a necessity.
