The graphics are spectacular and represent a technical peak that few games achieve.
The combat animations are sensational, with many movements that vary depending on the enemy.
Facial expressions are of the highest quality; Musashi shines a lot here.
Musashi is a great protagonist that one cannot help but become attached to.
The supporting characters shine brightly and leave a legacy.
The villains do not just accomplish: they leave a mark with their atrocities and charisma.
Musashi's skills are incredibly spectacular and continue to add to the spectacle of the fight.
Boss battles are clearly the most remarkable feature: very epic and stimulating.
The strikes, the parries, and the dodges: everything works perfectly and provides great satisfaction.
The secondary content is extensive and even allows for a deeper exploration of the characters and the creation of very cool little stories.

In some passages, there may be a feeling of repetition with the leaders.
Sometimes, it seems like the game is missing a third difficulty option that would serve as a bridge between the two available options.
Healing animation brings little and sometimes blocks you.

Miyamoto Musashi is a charismatic and striking protagonist.
Fully localized in Brazilian Portuguese, with wonderful dubbing.
Good combination of hack and slash and duels in a style closer to that of Souls-like games.
The use of Toshiro Mifune's face gives a unique personality to the character.
Agile, reactive and very satisfying combat

The combat system, deep, fluid and particularly rewarding. The artistic direction, featuring the likable Miyamoto Musashi, a particularly endearing and charismatic hero. The story, effectively blending seriousness, humor and Japanese mythology. Excellent staging. The lifespan, of 20 to 30 hours perfectly suited. Particularly convincing French and Japanese voices.
A camera sometimes lost in confined spaces Secondary activities in Kyoto are quite repetitive The absorption of souls sometimes lacks fluidity Some boss battles are reused

A combat system that rewards precision, never brute force.

Musashi, far from the usual silent samurai, embraces adventure.
Spectacular bosses that justify on their own all the learning of the system.

A fairly demanding gameplay against bosses
Lady Oni sometimes talks a little too much
Sometimes it's complicated to retrieve orbs when you're under attack.

Eastern Kyoto like an open world sorry exhausts the pace.
A bit too much recycling of opponents
Slightly disappointing graph

NintendorosDeep, precise, and very satisfying sword fighting.
Demanding and memorable bosses who make the most of combat mechanics.
Excellent environment and visual aspect, with a very competent adaptation to the Switch 2.

Excellent environment and visual aspect, with a very competent adaptation to the Switch 2.
The absence of a 60 fps mode limits the performance compared to other versions.
The variety of main weapons is somewhat reduced.
Some side missions may be too conventional and repetitive.

Satisfactory Issen mechanics

The story loses its momentum after a strong start.
Environments and repetitive tasks
