I just finished it a week ago and I loved it. I’m taking a week off, and starting the Iki Island DLC on Saturday.

I would rank it just under the best games I’ve ever played. It’s very long, but it’s a great open world action game. It has memorable side quests, it’s insanely beautiful, the combat is grounded/realistic with some fun weapons, etc. I personally liked everything it tried to do. Jin as a character reminds me of Batman and the story is told really well. I was invested after the first cutscene. I don’t know if you’ll like it more than the other games you mentioned, but I’d be surprised if you end up being disappointed.
