    Arashi: Castles of Sin has some solid ideas and mechanics going for it, from the wealth of tools available to the ability to pick and choose how you attack each castle. Yet the issues do hamstring the experience and stop it from being the great VR ninja game it could have been. You’ll get a good 5+ hours out of Arashi: Castles of Sin, and whilst you can retackle levels however you wish, there’s no incentive to go full stealth or completely on the offensive. Scampering across rooftops flinging shuriken is still fun though.

    Arashi: Castles of Sin had so much potential. With satisfying sneaking and a wide selection of interesting tools to use, it’s easy to recommend to fans of the genre or anyone who likes the idea of a VR version of Tenchu. It’s just a shame that the barebones swordplay makes what should have been the game’s most exciting moments feel like a repetitive slog. As it stands, it’s still a solid game. But with a bit more polish and refinement, it could have been so much more.

    Arashi: Castles Of Sin might not go down as VR’s answer to Tenchu, but it gets a lot right with its open-ended level design and its fantastic realization of Feudal Japan. It’s a rare VR game that gives you genuine choice in deciding how to get from A to B and, when it works, captures the slick elitism of becoming a ninja. But it’s let down by clumsier elements, like bugs, bad enemy AI and underwhelming sword combat. Even these dark forces combined aren’t enough to derail the fun sneaking at the core of the experience, but there’s plenty of room for Arashi to improve with a potential sequel.

Для меня, как любителя стелса игра сделана хорошо. Она не бесит своим стелсом. Многие болячки разработчики обошли стороной. Управление очень удобное, как у последней Fracked. Сюжет не такит ничего особенного, но атмосфера Японского духа вас заворожит.

    Ближний бой не вызывает вау эффекта и в принципе не имеет физики. Можно парировать удары, блокировать и бить в открытые окна после атаки или во время атаки врага.

    Босс файты не вызывают челеджа, и даже ласт босс с особыми механиками не может похвастатся чем либо крутым их мира ВР.

    В игре есть личный волк, или порода собаки такая, которая выполняет различные команды, это очень крутой друг спасатель. В игре есть более 6ти разных дополнительных оружий в стиле ниндзя, даже онигири... да это оружие, но без спойлеров... Есть небольшой автоприцел, но даже с ним я умудрялся промахиватся, потому вы можете его не почувствовать до самого конца игры.

    Игра на 5-7часов. Зависит от стиля прохождения.

    Вывод: если вы хотите стелс экшн, где надо крастса, паркурить по крышам и скалам, с кучей японского духа. Но добро пожаловать!    … Expand
