    Were the Tenchu games that difficult ? I know I finished them all but I can't remember how difficult they were I used to use a hit and rooftop strategy , but yeah I'm really edging towards wanting this

    Lot's of "let's play" videos hitting YouTube. Is that usual... big reviewers uploading a let's play before they were allowed put up the official review? Anyway, just an FYI for those wanting to go in blind. I'd say there'll be spoilers doing the rounds from here on out.

    I think Vaati does one for every new souls game. I assume the likes of him and Cowboy get copies from From though.

    Just before this is released, twitch streamer 'the happy hobb' passed all 5 souls games without taking damage (other than fall damage, some poison damage), one after the other. Finished off with demons souls and dark souls 3 late last night/this morning. He does seem to be a bit of an ass, but quite the achievement

    Ninja Garden was a brilliant game. I cleared the ones on the 360 on the hardest difficulty. Some of my favorite games ever.

    That first boss is so easy... once you know what to do :)

    Got stuck for ages but it's a real baptism of fire. You can't just button mash, you have to know when to dodge out of a combo. It's funny going back to that boss in hard mode after you finished the game and it's so simple, whereas at the start it's infuriating!

    I remember it so clearly, he would just keep smashing you so me in my infinite youthful wisdom thought it was a DPS race.


    Oh how wrong i was.

    Great game afterwards.

    The Black edition is pretty much my favourite Character action game ever.

    The Devs seem to have nailed boss fights as they didnt have to worry about Multiplayer cheesing.

    Was gonna pick up Nioh Complete edition in the PS sale but I'm thinking that 20 quid could be better spent putting it towards Sekiro instead. IGN gave it 9.5, not that that means much.

    Gamespot & Gameinformer have given it 9/10.
    Eurogamer & Polygon have yet to finish it but their initial review is positive.

    Steam is designed in such a way that games need to be unlocked manually so generally, once a day all the days releases are unlocked together.
    Big game releases normally get a midnight release because the publisher asks for it/pays for it. Why Activision didn't do this is strange, seeing as Fromsoftware did it for the Asian market and Namco Bandai did it for DS3
