The Tenchu game every fan of the series ever wanted but never had, mixed with FromSoftware's ingenuity and charm make this one of the best games that has been released in the past decade. Everything from the combat system to the soundtrack is solid and well managed, and it's an interesting romance of the Sengoku period, lorewise, the game has a LOT to offer for those players that enjoy the developer's unique way of storytelling.

Surprisingly, the game is SUPER well optimized, I had no freezes or framerate drops the whole adventure, Max settings and the game is always butter smooth even in big battles full of special effects, so for everyone saying otherwise, something is definitely wrong on your end.

Just be prepared to dedicate a huge chunk of your time developing your own skills as you progress, the game seems unfair in a lot of points, but once you figure out it isn't supposed to be played like Ol' Souls was, you'll start to improve.
If you never played any souls-like game, don't worry too much, besides the core mechanics of FromSoft's, there's a whole new world here to be enjoyed and learned, even for veterans of their games, so don't let that scare you if you're up for a challenge.

Overall, this game is a must have for any fan of the Sengoku period, Souls series or for someone looking for an extremely challenging but rewarding game.

9.5/10
PS: I can finally be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with pride.
