What players say
93% of 8,351 reviews are positive · 87% of 64 in the last 30 days
Players most often praise the emotional story and ending, along with Onomichi, substories, and presentation. Combat draws the most criticism for feeling sluggish, inconsistent, and less flexible than in earlier entries. Some players also report poor optimization and slow-motion problems, while opinions on the main plot are divided.
