After only a few hours spent with the game, it's easy to see that with time and dedication, developers can put together an innovative experience that does not fail to deliver in any sense. Not only is the amazingly written story (depicted through babble dialogue that works VERY well) constructed around real Japanese mythology, but the entire game is also. The graphics are so reminiscent of the beautiful artworks of feudal japan that every time you find somewhere or something new it just removes your breath. This, I hope, shows developers that games don't always have to be about photo realistic graphics and that they should be treated as a canvas sometimes. Ultimately i feel like the game truly has a huge, epic story. The music is blended so well with the artistry and design, and changes without notice when necessary. Every interaction and movement has it's own majestic sound. It's really easy on the eyes and ears. Not to mention the load times are barely noticeable. This game truly speaks for itself while it's in motion... Absolutely brilliant.
