GamesRadar+ Verdict

Wo Long sees Team Ninja build on the core quality of the Nioh games. Its new systems, from the spirit gauge to morale levels within each stage feel well-considered and tightly honed to encourage exploration an๊d bold, expressive fighting styles. Some old habits die hard, especially the tiresome loot gathering, but the game's core combat and traversal options always shine through.

Pros

  • +

    Supreme parrying-based combat

  • +

    Formidable enemies and bosses

  • +

    Strong level design that demands exploration

Cons

  • -

    The loot system is a bore

  • -

    Not much motivation from the story
