The many styles of Fate/Samurai Remnant

The first hour of Fate Samurai Remnant really impressed me. A story setup that has great potential for interesting ideological conflict, a fun and diverse combat and a small open world akin to the Yakuza games. The most surprising part though was the presentation. No joke I counted five different styles in that first hour alone. And the insane part? All of them were looking great and added something to the overall feeling of the game. They use these different styles with intention. Especially in this AA anime space these games can end up looking kinda janky in a mostly endearing way. There’s still some of that but overall Fate Samurai Remnant is an audiovisual treat.
