21. At this point, it’s probably fair to say that Team Ninja has a
pretty good handle on this whole soulslike genre thing.
The game developer is pretty good at making this type
of game
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty may not reach the same heights as
Nioh 2 did back in 2020, but it certainly scratches that same
itch of lightning-fast combat, punishing-yet-rewarding
difficulty, and deep build customization options that you can
craft and tailor to your own playstyle.
The game isn’t as good as similar games but it has
good features that make it enjoyable
It’s great for the same reasons that the Nioh games are, and it
accomplishes that feat even while completely changing up
the fundamentals of its combat system to be closer to Sekiro
than Dark Souls.
It’s good for the same reason previous games have
been, even though it changes some things to be more
like other popular games
But by that same token, it also falls victim to the same
familiar issues nagging at those other Team Ninja soulslikes,
including subpar storytelling and excessively fiddly loot
mechanics.
It also has some of the same problems as previous
games of this type
But when you consider that the things Wo Long does better
than just about any other game in this genre, that baggage
amounts to scratches on an otherwise pristine set of armor.
Even though it has bad parts to it, overall the game is
better than many of the similar games on the market.
