What players say

97% of 202,944 reviews are positive · 97% of 4,685 in the last 30 days

Players most often praise the updated combat, especially parrying and evasion, along with the tense village atmosphere and replay value. Many February complaints focused on newly added DRM that players said caused stuttering and lower performance; later reviews report that it was removed and performance improved.
