The verdict
A huge, fun musou game with a massive roster and tons of content, but the PC port is rough: broken controller support, PS3-level graphics, and pricey DLC. Skip it if you want a polished port.
Great for
Series fans who want a huge hack-and-slash roster and can tinker with controller setup or mods
Main risk
Controller setup is a mess and the port is dated, so you may fight the game before playing it
