Assassin's Creed & Souls Player's First Impressions: Rise of the Ronin

Rise of the Ronin isn't the game you look to, when seeking a revolutionary, innovative experience that will change the industry. Rise of the Ronin is what you boot up when all you want to do is just have SOME FREAKIN' FUN, and can appreciate the sincerity of a game that is fully aware it's a game and revels in that fact, grinning and nodding alongside its player the entire time. Not a review, these are my first emotional reactions to slashing through its first eight hours, the majority of which I spent roaming the world wherever my blades and heart took me.
