I haven’t seen a discussion about it here yet, and wanted to add to the interaction on the board, so I was wondering how you guys feel about the game. I feel like I am about halfway through with it so far, and am enjoying it quite a bit, and have had few issues with it so far. No forced diversity and all of the characters I have met so far have interesting qualities that make them likable. When I heard complaints about Yuna and Masako, I got a bit worried, but they seem to have legitimate motivations and are well written so far. I might just suffer from being a bit of a weeb, but I enjoy the environments and gameplay, even though it can be a little repetitive. The various stances and the ability to choose to do stealth or go in “guns blazing” help diversify the gameplay enough that I don’t get bored of it. It’s one of the better new games I have played, and don’t regret picking it up.

I just finished it a few days ago and I loved it. I like how it doesn't force you into a specific play style. Outside of a few missions where you have to do stealth to not be detected you can approach situation however you want. You can take them head on, you can stealth the area and assassinate, you have a bow...bombs...throwing knives. Later you get poison on hallucination darts. You can play most situations anyway you want.
You can tell Sucker Punch poured a lot of love into the game. The landscapes, armor, and weapons all look amazing. There are a lot of historical artifacts you can find that will tell you about the Mongols. And there is no current year bullshit in it. That's probably the biggest thing.
My one criticism is that the default language and facial animations when speaking should have been in Japanese. When I started the game I chose Japanese for the audio language because I thought that's how I thought they were going to talk. But during the opening animation when they mouths were moving in English but the audio was Japanese it looked like a really bad dub. So I changed it back to English. It didn't ruin the game for me at all, but I would have thought a game set in Japan would have been default Japanese language.
I highly recommend it.
