For the love of god please stop making me want to buy weeb ubisoft shovelware
pretty sure its sucker punch (sly cooper, infamous) not ubisoft, if thats any consolation. arguably same genre but imo better execution.
I know it's them but it's, as you said, the same loop of liberating camps. I couldn't stomach the tired romanticisation of samurai, honour etc. in the first game.
yea its pretty egregiously ahistorical, kinda like the 300 of samurai, or the anachronistic concept of 'chivalry' as applied to european knights. exactly as you said, a romanticisation.
It's more inspired by chambara movies than by samurai history. Similar to how Red Dead Redemption is drawing from western movies more than cowboy history.
Kind of a shame they're doubling down on another samurai game and not doing something new. I'd even prefer a new Sly or Infamous.
