    I think I’ve just seen enough extremely shit adaptations of Seven Samurai that I set a very low bar for “inspired by the works of Akira Kurosawa” lol. That, and I have very low expectations of high-budget, mass market freeze-gamer slop :)

    I enjoyed the game, but I liked it in a similar way to how I enjoyed the earlier Assassin’s Creed games - relatively compelling adventure gameplay in a kinda neat historical-ish setting i-love-not-thinking. You’re right, though, the storytelling hasn’t advanced too much from Ninja Gaiden on the NES

      The Ninja Gaiden series on the NES might have a better story. Not a dig so much as Ninja Gaiden is under rated.
