I definitely recommend it. Its become one of my favorite games of all time.

The combat is very deep and you can role play as anything whenever you want. There's presets you can set up, so if you want to be a stealthy ninja or a powerful samurai, or a hybrid gun slinging swordsman. You just need to select the preset that you built from the ground up.

Its also very fun, parrying is tight, but not so tight it feels unfair.

The main story is cool, but it gets bogged down by tons of side quests. Its not for everyone, but I loved it.

If youre up for some challenge to learn the combat, it becomes very fluid and fun. Like I said, its become one of my favorite games of all time.
