So didn't play the alpha or beta but this looks right up my street, although I hated Ninja Gaiden.
My question is simple: to preorder or not preorder? Any advice from those of you who have played it....

I'm looking forward to this one. Day 1 buy for me. Its being compared to Dark souls and Bloodborne but I think its different enough to have its own identity. Its as hard as those games I mentioned but from what I played in the recent trial and beta it might be a little unforgiving if you've never played those games before.
The pros of the game are the setting, Sengoku period of Japan, the music and sound effects are perfect, the loot system similar to Diablo 3, the 3 different stances for each weapon, the skill trees you can select as you wish, weapon forging and armor customisation and the fast complex fighting mechanics plus there's a cute japanese girl who is your blacksmith. :-)

I just finished my first hour. The game is amazing. It eases you in the first hour. Not hard at all. Its really a prologue before the main game begins. The controls have improved since the last chance trial. It seems abit more responsive when you dodge and attack. Loving it and its going to be in my goty list I think.

Beat Mr big balls first time. They made him alot easier than in the alpha. A bit of a shame as I couldn't beat him in the alpha. I wanted revenge but he was too easy in this released version.
Then came bat bitch as you put it lol. The difficultly spiked up a bit. She's a bit of a handful but once you learn her moves she seems easier than first thought. The key to beating her is wait for her attacks that allow you to counter.

Love it! Only done Tower of London so far and a bit of the first level. Getting to grips with the stances, although I forget to switch between them - not a problem... Yet. Getting a ki pulse right is satisfying. It's not as nerve shredding as soulsborne but I quite like that and it definitely seems to play faster. When I died it was definitely my fault for not giving the enemies due respect, but if you get the upper hand you can breeze through tonnes of them.
If you're on the fence, get off it. Best game I've played since Bloodborne.
