    The best way to describe how Wo Long feels is if you combined the visuals and swordplay of the Dynasty Warriors and Nioh games with a pinch of Sekiro. What then happens is that you have a game that is quite difficult, but oh-so-rewarding when you conquer the seemingly impossible.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a dark fantasy take on the Three Kingdoms. The difficulty is high, almost seeming insurmountable at first, but part of what makes Wo Long great is how the difficulty isn’t unfair. The gameplay is structured where players are rewarded for learning the fighting style of their enemies and using their mastery of their own skills against them. It can be frustrating and requires patience to master, but it’s such a great feeling to finally overcome a strong adversary. Challenge alone does not make a game great, but Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty excels in every area from artistic design to gameplay mechanics. Watching nameless warrior execute their different moves is akin to a ballet of brutality. The gameplay mechanics are are smooth and responsive as the game is challenging, making it a joy to invest the time in mastering the battle system. This isn’t the Three Kingdoms setting we were expecting, but it is the Three Kingdoms game we needed.

    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a powerful action game that introduces a new gameplay experience with its core combat mechanism of parrying. This game reinterprets the history and characters of the Three Kingdoms period, providing a surprising experience for Chinese players. However, the game's map design has some flaws, and the endgame content is also lacking. These issues prevent Wo Long from being a perfect gaming experience. However, we hope that future DLCs will fill these gaps and address the shortcomings in the game's content.

    Team Ninja shows its best side. In Wo Long there are still some of its common problems, but the result is a remarkable Soulslike.

    Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is the latest Team Ninja game and it is a good counterpart to Nioh games even if its more Sekiro than Dark Souls. Brutal combat and good level design are there but some caveats are going to be thorn in the eye for the veterans of the genre.

    Team Ninja delivers a new hardcore ARPG with some unusual but solid new features that change what we are getting used to. Wo Long Fallen Dynasty is a real breath of fresh air in a genre that count many new titles now.

    Wo Long is a hair's breadth from cohesiveness, but much like the game's antagonists, it slips through your fingers just when you think you've got it. Come on, Team Ninja. You've almost got it.

Nioh was alreadyAs others have said, its the sekiro of the nioh series. Sadly the story and more specifically the storytelling is a big mess. Nioh was already confusing but with a bit of research you could get a grip on it. This is just insane. Allies becoming enemies in 1 mission. Next mission they are back to being allies. Crazy mcguffins left and right and so on.
    The game is fairly challenging but not as hard as the souls games and way wayyyy easier than sekiro. The rpg elements are satisfying and the forgiving crafting and respec system lets you change builds on a whim.    … Expand

The biggest problem is the way you parry, it's the same as dodge which is a poor choice. They should have just done what sekiro did where L1 is parry and circle is dodge.

    No chance. Not even ER or Seki gamers like it.
    Locking everything behind the first boss who less then 30% of the players can beat is also    No chance. Not even ER or Seki gamers like it.
