In summary, pretty successful port that runs well. Being able to play this at 60fps is great after dealing with it being locked at 30 even on PS5, so if you're here because you want minimally 60fps gameplay then the PC version will do that for ya.

With regards to the story, if you're a long running fan just know it's pretty similar in all regards to the other mainline games, so if you enjoyed those you'll enjoy this. If you didn't like the story at all, I personally found that the stories of GE2 and GE3 are a little weaker than the original GEB or Resurrection, they don't quite have that same emotional buildup to get you invested in all the characters as you go about stuff.

Gameplay wise it feels faster than the previous games. Things move just a bit quicker overall, and while dodging/stepping was still very viable in the previous games I have to say that in GE3, you really feel rewarded for blocking while stepping has become very unreliable. However, there are many fast and very difficult to evade moves, so while it doesn't provide you much defensive increase I still suggest using the buckler shield for the fastest deployment and the easiest perfect guarding. The normal shield is just a hair too slow to deploy to save you from getting hit when you predict one of the annoying instant moves coming, and tower shields no ♥♥♥♥ don't really open quick. There is a new piece of equipment you get pretty early on that can give you health regen for blocking 70 damage (G>>HP Healer), so yeah, blocking in this game is very rewarding.

I quite enjoyed the addition of new combat features, I won't really go into each of them though they're given to you pretty quickly in the game. I think they added some measure of extra value to the gameplay overall, though if I'm being honest it's still pretty same-ey so returning players won't feel out of place.

As for new Aragami...the Havakiri is the bane of my existence. Seriously. Pretty much everything else is mostly fine, even the most powerful aragami aren't anywhere near as annoying. Well some of them are, so yeah. Devour attacks are a thing from Aragami in this game now, so seriously get used to perfect guarding since you can't block devour attacks and like I said, stepping is pretty much useless in this game.
