Sunshine, slapstick, and mortality: my first night in Honolulu
TL;DR
- Turn-based fights with real positional depth; Kiryu’s “Dragon” state is a brilliant twist.
- Story swings from farce to grief and sticks the landing, especially for long-time fans.
- Honolulu is dense and playful; Dondoko Island is a dangerously cozy time sink.
- Camera can botch Perfect Guard timing; open-world visuals show the Dragon Engine’s age.
- On PS5, performance mode feels great; snappy loads and strong audio across both voice tracks.
