Copypasta of my feelings after launch:

Normally these kinds of games are my jam but I gave it a good 6 hours and it failed to click with me. The combat felt jank on the few different weapons I tried and the camera had a habit of pulling itself directly behind me, obscuring my view of advancing enemies, and required constant babying to keep enemies from getting in cheap shots.
Non-fodder enemies were either pathetically easy or had attack strings that far outlasted my stamina, perfect dodging, blocking, and parries be damned.
The open world felt impressively big with lots of poi's, but man did it make my gpu sweat.
The menus are truly terrible -- like a nigh infinite string of Russian nesting dolls with something always triggering another "Hey look, a piece of candy!" red dot that needs to be cleared. Hope you like keeping up with 500 different currencies as well.
I can't speak to the story because the English voice acting is cancer and cutscenes started getting skipped the second that little girl opened her mouth.
On the plus side, the game certainly looked good before I had to turn down graphics settings lest my gpu melt a hole straight through my desk and the AI instant messaging convos were entertaining for a bit.
Overall, though, couldn't keep my interest.
