A fun game, great gameplay haven’t had this much fun in a samurai game since Genji on PS2. When you take into account that this the project of the developers behind inFamous and Sly Cooper it is even more impressive. Play in Japanese, more immersive and sounds better.With that being said the only con is the value, overpriced in my opinion considering this is a rerelease of a PS4 game, yes it comes with an expansion but should have been optional or at least give the option to buy separately and not charge full price for content that I may or may not want.

You've seen all this stuff before - ticking off checkpoints on the map, clearing out encampments to clear out the 'fog' on the map, unlock new skills, weapons and new outfits as you go. Random encounters across the map with many 'fetch this / kill these people / come back' sidequests... But man, it does it all very well and looks stunning on PS5. And the swordfights never get tiresome even 100hrs into the game.

This is by far one of the best games I’ve ever played. I was told by a mate that because I absolutely love the Assassin’s Creed franchise (bar Chronicles, but we won’t get into that terrible series), I would think GoT is better. He wasn’t wrong. This game is graphically beautiful, especially the weather effects and the water. The movement and battle mechanics are second to none, massively improving on my previously loved AC franchise. There is lots to do in GoT but not overwhelmingly so. You are not constantly repeating similar scenarios, like in AC (Odyssey for example). This game feels fresh. The soundtrack, I could write a whole dissertation on, it is absolutely stunning. The composers have made a beautiful, orchestral soundtrack, whilst including oriental elements that aren’t too dominating. I am a huge Hans Zimmer fan but this soundtrack has introduced me to two new composers that have set the bar when it comes to game soundtracks. The music isn’t too overpowering and each ‘scene’ fits. The theme/leitmotif of the game is overused neither and you know when you hear it , you’re at an important part of the game. Fast paced when it needs to be but capturing those heart strings during the more emotional moments. The main story is incredible and hard hitting at times. From what I’ve experienced so far, this game has the most immersive (and to be fair, Red Dead Redemption 2 set the bar high) and engaging story that will keep your fingers away from the ‘skip’ button. The side quests are equally as engaging. One thing that I would say is missing from the game….Fishing! You know a games good when you can just stop whatever you’re doing on the main game for a minute and just catch some fish. Adds a bit of therapeutic calm in between hacking and slashing.
