Beautiful and weirdly peaceful

For a game based on the invasion of Japan by the Mongol empire, it has a weird serenity to it for a lot of the journey. Riding your trusty steed through beautiful vistas I sometimes wished there was a button to make you lean down from your galloping horse and brush your hand through the flowing grasses around you. Much like how a dog puts their head out an open car window. The combat is flowing, balanced and nuanced enough to keep it interesting from start to end. Then there’s ’that’ stance… Chefs kiss!
