Difficulty balances the razor's edge between meticulously challenging and downright frustrating

Despite being enjoyable to play, Ryu's levels are definitely the least exciting part of the experience (and having only one weapon doesn't help)
Some encounters can get repetitive, either due to the level design or the same enemy types for consecutive chapters

Unshakeable nervousness

The DNA of the series is respected, while being shaken up.
Ryu Hayabusa, through his discretion, further emphasizes his status as a legend.

Repetitive environments
Unremarkable story
Some hammy performances
Occasionally hard to read the action

Yakumo feels distinct from Ryu thanks to some creative weaponry
The action gameplay is tight, slick and violent, like all good things
The Bloodbind forms of weapons gives them an extra dimension and opens up a dizzying amount of combos

Camera does very weird things to textures and enemies up close
Recycled bosses and levels land poorly and feel like needless padding
Platforming sections don't have enough meaningful input to feel vital
Level design can feel a little sparse and lifeless in a largely linear affair

Excellent Combat System
Level artwork is a sight to behold
Great soundtrack, which features Victor Borba

Overuse of gimmicks makes levels feel lazy and uninspired
Flat story that doesn?t have much depth
Yakumo?s voice acting is extremely flat and poorly delivered
Lack of weapon variety

Nervous and deeply satisfying fights once the rhythm is mastered
New tools well integrated into the weapon system
Exemplary fluidity and solid optimization
Increased accessibility for a wider audience
Great comeback of a cult license

Disoriented camera and poorly adjusted display windows
Repetitive level design and lack of standout moments
Greyish artistic direction, without any real personality.
Blurred identity between tribute and modernization
Unfair difficulty, more punitive than stimulating at times.

Average quality graph
Ryu's section in the story recycles levels and bosses.
