    The game isn't clunky or badly made like games Journalist's say...If you listen to game Journalist's then you should stick to playing Assasins Creed or Call of Duty anyway...The game is however hard on normal in many places and games journos don't like hard.
    I would sugest playing on easy if you are struggling as easy is more like normal anyway and the story, beutiful art design and

    I would sugest playing on easy if you are struggling as easy is more like normal anyway and the story, beutiful art design and vicious combat is worth experiencing. There are characters and story in this game that will stick with you for years. The protagonist herself is miles better and more interesting than any protagonist in modern games with their modern writing.
    This also requires the ability to learn the controls ( like RE4) another thing games media dosent like. Games today all need to control in some fashion like fortnite or COD or it's crap in their eyes..Red Ninja has no option to adjust horizontal camera movement, so if your to basic to be able to compensate and learn something this simple than just watch IGN on what other game you should play.

    It's like a melted snowman -- something that could've been good, but instead turned out to be a goopy pile of mush.

    Even the most dedicated player's are likely to fall out of love with the game more frequently than its promise of unstoppable motion and a world outside slate-grey corridors (which becomes more distant as the game progresses) can entice them back. [May 2005, p.83]

    Sure, there's oodles of feudal female flesh on display and a competent command system, but too many areas of the game fall flat on their face for it to be anything other than a tragic waste of time.
