Kinda late for a review, but i still remember my playtrough like it was yesterday.
For me this game is one of the best games of all time.
Yes it has flaws, some more heavy then others, but at the same time the pros and overall story outweight them so heavily that im not even gettin bothered by them.
Most of the people, who disliked the game most of the time only went trough the first playtrough or half trough the 2nd one. But the real story just starts to unfold towards the end of the 2nd Playtrough. Actually i wouldnt even call dem playtroughs, they are more like different Chapters.

Lets start with the few cons:
There are only dat many different enemytypes in the game (however troughout the game they are somewhat evolving)
The 2nd Playtrough (seeing the story unfold trough different eyes) while storywise interesting, playwise feels a bit off with too much hacking. I dont mind the Hacking, but it becomes boring after some time especially when beforehand u were destroying masses of enemies with cool combos.
There are some invisible walls, some of dem can be annoying

Pros:
The combat feels amazing, typical platinum games hack n slash + some new addition aka permafire pod lol.
While the graphics are definetly not mindblowing, the world and overall game are still beautiful.
Best Music in a videogame ever, theres literally not one soundtrack dats bad (for me its even better than halo).
For most tracks, theres even different versions for different scenarios like while hacking, more intense, more quite for
dialogue and so on.
Map is decently big, but theres not much empty "dead" space with nothing in it. U are revisiting places often,
but not in a backtracking matter. Most of the time new paths open up later in the game.
While the 2nd playtrough "can" be somewhat below expectations after the first one, with the 3rd playtrough the story
expands and evolves wonderfully. There were a few moments where i actually cried.
If u count all playtroughs together u get around 30-40hrs of playtime. Pretty sweet for a storydriven hack n slash i must say.
There are some great sidemissions with heavy feels involved.
The True ending was beatiful, but im not gonna spoiler it here.
2B is thicc.

Overall i would give it a 9,5/10
Its not a perfect game in my eyes with the 2nd playtrough kinda pulling it down, but overall a great experience.
Nice action, cool battles, great story, heavy feels all in one. There was one part in the story, which made me so sad i stopped playin for 2 days and tried to search forums if theres hidden choice or path to change the outcome of what happened.

I would recommend this game to anyone, even if not a fan of hack n slash games.
