+/- feels sometimes drawnout but not really bothering

- a few bugs (falling through graphics)
- some censored dialogue
- and middle good localization (still better than Squenix translations, far more better)

Conclusion:
Kinda classic, kinda fresh experience for me. Gameplay was interesting, music fitting and much to do in an open world setting. very mythical to bits of horror setting. amazing effects and a simple to understand story + much to read about. Changing sets of dungeon and overworld builds. keep the gaming fresh and interesting. some things tend to get repetitive, which is not a bad thing. An ego-shooter with magic in a mythical japanese world. count me in! Interesting game from the studio tangoworks (which was recently closed by a certain very very dumb money grabbing giant group). This game shows that indie devs and smaller studios more often make amazing work as other big gaming corporation.
