Finally saw the gameplay demo properly.



I'm keen on it so far.


- The towns / environment's look pretty damn good as per usual AC games. In fact I'm really keen on getting into this world because that first city already looks so much better than Ghost of Sushima. I know GOT was about a war-torn land that was under invasion, but I never felt like I got to experience or have that virtual tourism in a feudal Japanese city/town. All of the towns and cities in GOT were just extremely meh and nothing interesting at all. I'm actually really digging the vibe of Afro samurai going through the city.

- I love the detail to the physics and environment in the sense of how chit breaks and falls apart during the combat sequences. Having the fruit carts, pots and chit break just adds that really nice layer of immersiveness to it.

- Baybaysee Samurai's combat look clunky and heavy ... I mean it just looks like typical AC so there's nothing really to praise or criticize. It's just w/e ... It was a pretty meh showing tbh.

- Ninja girl's combat meanwhile looks pretty damn fun, you get to be a a proper neenjah, the grappling hook, the prone crawl, the taking out of lights, animations etc all look pretty cool and fun tbh. Her chain and ball wrecking all the enemies and the trees look super cool and fun. I'll probably main her as much as I can.

- Love the idea of seasons and how weather affects gameplay, that's something new to the series and I'm keen to see if it's implemented as well as it sounds.

- Graphics are fine. It looks slightly better than AC Valhalla, but I honestly expected a bigger jump in graphics since it's current gen only... But the game will be 60 fps, so those fellas that get anal about framerates are in for a good time.



Overall I mean I thought it was a decent showing ... Cautiously optimistic, but Ubisoft is such a trash company so I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow fuk this up like they did with Valhalla, but tbh it is the Odyssey team working on this, so lets see.
