This game is just a complete waste of my time. I'm actually offended. Arguably the weakest PlayStation exclusive this gen.

I have to agree with the dull comments I think im 25 hours in or something and a couple of yotei 6 down and teh thought of going back to finish it is actually off putting.

What a huge let down.

That is unfortunate. If you ended up liking part 1, I wonder what you (dis)like about this. Because to me, everything is improved. It's part 1 but better in every way when it comes to gameplay. Apart from 1 thing at least: The puzzle's in the Kitsune area are infuriatingly easy. Probably the biggest let down for me.

Yeah I liked 1, I didnt think it was mind blowing, it was very good though. Sort of like a 8/10 overall.
2nd one, I like the setting and main chracter, everything individually is very good but I just find the whole thing very boring like I cant bring myself to play more of it.

I feel like I have seen and done everything within the first 5 hours.
I dont find the story or characters gripping enough to keep going either.

The quality is there its just I think the first game was a bit of a novelty and had some really interesting aspects to it when I first played it. This one as I have seen the majority of it all before and the story isnt really gripping me, I know how this will likely all play out, is it enough to keep me playing? I dont think so.

So I respect the qualities it has I just think the over-all product is a bit forgettable and ultimately a bit dull in my opinion.

there... oh, well, another day, another 'sucker punch samurai game that so over-extends itself down the final stretch that it basically sours the entire experience & leaves a bad taste in your mouth'...

this never happened to me with the infamous games. i was hesitant going into yotei, & it was fun for a good while, but that's definitely it for me with sucker punch samurai games (not to mention, i've really enjoyed replaying all the infamous games, something i can't even imagine doing with the ghost games)...

I only lasted 12 hours before I dropped it. They didn't really improve on the areas GoT was weak in. The stealth is still bare bones, AI is dumb and the platforming/climbing is really bad. I don't really care about the story or characters. It is really hard to when the world is mostly empty and devoid of towns. It feels like a world that 50 people live in.

It has the same rock/paper/scissors combat from the previous game. The only problem is there is not much variety. Every encounter is 5 guys charge you. Only has a spear, one has a katana, etc. You rotate through chopping them up, then 5 more guys happen to run in right as those guys die. You kill the 2nd wave and right away a 3rd charges in as the 2nd dies. It feels cheap and gets repetitive really quick.

I think a lot of things worked in the first game for me since it was new. But towards the end the game felt bloated and I was happy to be done with it, but I got a lot of playtime out of it. Nothing in GoY feels fresh, so you kind of start to feel worn out much quicker since the first game provided enough fill for this formula. I think that is a problem with a lot of Sony games this gen. They play everything super safe and the games feel like 1.5 iterations of the games from last gen.
