Is it still worth playing?
Team Ninja's 2017 action role playing game for the PlayStation 4, set in Japan in 1600. You play William, an Irish samurai who pursues the sorcerer Edward Kelley into the final battles of the Sengoku period, in a fictionalized history with supernatural elements. Missions are self contained, with alternate routes, picked from a menu rather than reached through an open world, and you fight human enemies and supernatural beings called yokai. Its combat is fast hack and slash, and actions drain Ki, your stamina, which a well timed Ki pulse restores. Shrines are where progress is cashed in. They act as checkpoints where you save, restore health and spend Amrita, the game's experience points, to level up, though resting brings back every normal enemy in the area. Choosing when to push on and when to rest still shapes every mission today.
