Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One Genre: 2D weapons-based fighting game In light of the new & rebooted Samurai Shodown's lovely sumi-e aesthetics that mimic classical Japanese paintings of the 17th century, I've decided to just write the majority of the review in a traditional poem structure renowned in that period.
