This game is amazing. I'm nearly at 30 hours and only have about 60% of the trophies. The controls are tight, the music is amazing and the gameplay is fantastic. It's very replayable. Mastering the game and earning S rank on every stage is extremely satisfying.

you can beat this game in a single afternoon if you skip all the optional stuff, so yeah its pretty short. Of course by doing that you would miss out on some really good things IMO.

I'd post a better sig but my imagination is shot.

It's great, yeah the main game is short but there's so much to extend its lifespan with the scores, unlockables, challenges and trophies.

There's really not that much, though. You unlock 80% of all stuff in your first playthrough if you play in Hard Mode and apply yourself, about 12~ hours. Then, you have a few hours of VR training to get gold rank and the prologue of Very Hard for another costume and that's it. It only takes longer if you want to S-Rank No Damage everything but I understand if people don't care about that as it's borderline insane at some moments because of some questional design choices (not letting you walk to the hall in the elevator room, etc). I'm at the 25 hours mark and I'm starting to get a little bored, to be honest. The combat, albeit cool and stylish to look at, is not complex enough, once you've mastered blade cancel and dodge cancel there's not much more to do. I think the lack of on the fly weapon switch or fleshed out movelists for the unique weapons is really hurting the game, to me. I guess I'll still play around more because the bosses and some sections are really awesome, but it's losing the novelty which is a shame.

Hilarious how children today think 12 hours (which this game isn't, in any stretch of the imagination) is a long game.

It's a game they like, they'll defend it anyway they can. Some people here were complaining because a guy gave this game an 8.5.

For ****** sake, the game barely has platforming and fillers and it is designed to give the player the option to style or finish fights as fast as possible by focusing on offense, wide attack (crowd control) and fast gameplay ; you can kill fast and die just as fast.

To me any game get 7-8/10 is a good game,9-10 is GREAT...and i saw a lot of review for this game,its get 7-8/10,so i think that a right point...If the camera was good,gameplay is longer and we can make combo between weapon,so this game maybe get 9/10 easy :)
