Coming from never having played the og, I think the combat is definitely interesting, enemies feel way more aggressive compared to the other games, and are definitely way more spongy, probably since a) theres clearly extensive weapon upgrade mechanics and b) you can just sit back and shoot them forever lol. Still, there's plenty of cool strats and metas for avoiding getting crowded by enemies or dominated by bosses, like using the wild dancer's circle attack to quickly cover your rear and break through bosses superarmor, which I think is great. Looks like Ishin will be a great time :]
Nah it sucks. Hyper armor on everything , bare handed is godawful, you can just mindlessly spam guns and wild dance, enemies don't remain on the ground long enough for meaningful combos, they turn instantly so no back combos, grinding garbage is still here, swordsman is terrible because of how slow and disjointed its moves are and how vulnerable it leaves you to attacks without the strength or range of beast... Worse than the original and even worse than kiwami 2 and 6
