    Storytelling and graphics are quite bad. These two "constant" negatives are the two factor that make Team Ninja hit their usual wall of the 8/10. I hope Rise of the Ronin is gonna be able to finally destroy that. Also, worth mentioning that the game "is too easy" compared to Nioh.

    Bad animation, bad plot, bad optimization, communist propaganda! I would not recommend anyone to spend money on this.

    For others

    Gameplay - incredibly fun gameplay with a lot of variety (spells, special moves, weapons, armor, character creator), because of the parry mechanic you know what you did wrong when you die immediately.

    Level design decent not amazing, but there is a lot of places to explore in the levels with areas you can ignore towards your objective.

    Morale (farming) system and companions lower the difficulty for those not as proficient in these type of games, but can be completely be ignored if you know what you are doing. Execution is key here.

    Overall was an easy Day 1 purchase.    … Expand

    Gameplay: Good but forced you Deflect, Deflect to win 7,5/10
    Graphic: Good 9/10
    Music: Boring 6/10

    I think this game 8/10. Less Deflect = better

    Great combat, good graphics, addictive gameplay. Team Ninja is an awesome studio, and this is just as good as the Nioh games. If you like souls like games, this won’t disappoint you.

    This review is after beating the game, I 100% it. Great game, I think it's better than both Nioh games. I only have one complaint, being that all of the Divine Beast are very underwhelming. It's most comparable to Sekiro but it is a lot easier than Sekiro. Also no performance issues, I never had a single fps drop and the game only crashed one time, as well as no bugs.

    Expected more than a linear grind with rehashed enemies throughout. The combat is sublime but let down by wonky balancing and dated environment design. Waste of money as better souoslike experiences can be found with higher production quality.

    와룡은 엄청나게 빠른 쾌검술로 쉴새없이 적군에게 연속검공격을 가하는 칼싸움임. 물론 인왕1, 2, 와룡 모두 칼싸움 근접 타격감은 개좋아서 그야말로 진짜 엄청나게 최고임. 높은 칼싸움 타격감이나 근접전투만으로는 모든 게임들중 1위급임. 하지만 역시 칼싸움 전투에 완전 주력한 게임이다보니 스토리는 기대하면 안됨. 그냥 무적권 오픈월드 3D 액션ARPG에서 강력한 칼싸움하는 재미로 하는거지 스토리는 전형적인 쾌검술의 세계관 최강자인 강력한 소년 주인공이 적군들을 검으로 베어나가면서 전쟁들을 이겨나간다는 매우 삼국지적인 스토리라서 스토리만 본다면 참신할게 없지만,    와룡 AAA급 초우주갓겜임.

    Definitely one of the best action game ever. The game has very great stage design and enemy action design. At the very beginning, I am worried about the action system is boring. But the enemy especially the boss design is so great and each boss is pretty awesome to learn and beat.

    Horrible game. Feels terrible to play, and the difficulty curve is ridiculous. Even as a Souls veteran this game is too difficult, and not in a fun way.

    Wo long is hard but fun game ( also addicting ), combat is simple, yet satisfying. Once you get hang of the combat, the rest is easy.

    Не понятно для чего нагибают игрока играть только через парирование. Не понятно для чего такой первый босс. Не понятно для чего вообще блок в этой игре и кувырок как таковой. Зачем прокачка тоже не понятно. Удалил эту игру, желания продолжать играть нет никакого. Жаль потраченных денег на ЭТО.Не понятно для чего нагибают игрока играть только через парирование.

    Big downgrade compared to Nioh. Worse combat with poor variety (no weapon skills ffs). You must rely on parries.. no thx bro. Even parries are not satisfying here.

    When you get the combat down this game is pretty fun. A bit easier than the souls games.

    I’ve Platinumed all the Souls, Borne, Elden and Nioh games but I couldn’t beet the first Wo Long boss. Why? This game (from what the first level teaches us) is that you only do damage when you successfully parry a Red attack. This lets you follow up with a good damage counter. Nothing else does much damage. So all you do is run around waiting for Red attacks.

I hate Parry games for this reason. I’m sure there’s more battle styles once you progress, but this boss will never let that happen. Average graphics and design. Horrible inventory management. Absolute garbage. Wish I could get my money back.… Expand

    Amazing. It is my dream coming through. It is a sekiro game with the leveling as dark souls. The pace of tge game is frenetic. The looting garbage did not bother at all. The cons are the graph. Ps4 graphucd, not new generation.

    Honestly this is the best game I have played in many years! I feel like I'm learning new gaming skills every chapter and some of the boss battles are just groundbreaking INCREDIBLE! Haven't experienced this kind of feeling since Nioh 1 and 2! The one before that was the Ninja Gaiden games. You have to play this to see what I'm talking about! So stylish, so cool, so satisfying!!!!!

    For al Nioh fans a hell yeah! Three kingdoms fan? Even more! Combat and customization take the main stage here that's for sure and while the story is pushed a little more to the back this game is a game of the year contender for me!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Non comprate questo gioco. Questo gioco è realizzato da persone malate. Ho provato la demo definitiva un dungeon vuoto con nemici scemi ed una boss fight doppia da tutorial. Ritengo che sia un brutto inizio. Non è un gioco equilibrato. Non merita di essere comprato ho disinstallato. E giusto che sia presente una sfida. Ma ritengo che si merita un non classificabile come scala dei 10. Non lo comprerò mai e poi mai. Non insegna nulla questo gioco abusivo. Non è divertente non è il flop of the year. Ma merita uno 0 come voto. È stata una pessima demo. Solo una perdita di tempo. Giocate ad altro di più godibile. Spero che con Rise of Ronin la smettessero di realizzare questi finti Souls Like li chiamerei Hard Like i giochi del team Ninja. Spero che Rise of Ronin sia più equilibrato e preveda un esperienza più godibile più vecchia scuola negli open world ma un contesto che da molte soddisfazioni.… Expand

    Bosses are fast, aggressive, tough. They hit you two times and it's over. But they all have the same mechanics and just different timing. So inexperienced players may feel frustration, while for experienced souls it won't be major problem to get through the game without a scratch. [Issue#326]

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a lovechild between Sekiro and Nioh games with some Chinese mythos and history sprinkled on the top. It is a truly great combat experience that is drawn back by somewhat convoluted storytelling, lackluster decisions to simplify magic and attributes and severe optimization problems. With that said, it is a really fun experience that any fan of the genre will surely love.

    An evolution of Nioh 2, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is an action-packed ride through history and dark fantasy that stands out in a post-Elden Ring world. [Issue#26, p.88]
