Good... But A Step Down

I am a huge fan of these D.W. games. I have played all since the original. This one had some improvements, but lacked some things.
1. New Character Designs
-Half and half
Some were very good, but some were terrible. I liked the new Ling Tong and Lu Meng. The new Yue Ying was lovely, as was the new Xiao Qiao. The new Xiahou Dun was awful! So was the new Cao Pi. These two looked so cool in DW 4 and 5. Now they look like victims of a Black Friday shopper stampede.
2. New Weapons
-So So
Some of the new weapons were great. But many were awful. I liked Ling Tong's nanchukus better. Same to be said for the previous weapons of Xiahou Dun, Zhou Yu, and Cao Pi. Why didnt they just add new people (like maybe Cheng Pu or Gongsun Zan) and give the new weapons to them?
3. Horses
-The Real Improvement
You no longer have to meet certain conditions to get a horse. In fact, there are some horses when you start the game. Its good to have a horse because they run faster than people, even if you dont like horses in real life (I do). Also, you no longer have to remember where your horse is or try to find it. You can just call the horse and it comes to you. Finally, each horse has an ability that helps you. For example, some horses fill your musou gauge as you are riding.
4. Graphics
-Beautiful !!!!
Need I say more? The scenery is lovely. The cutscenes look great. And the people look lifelike!
5. Gameplay
-Great
Its a little different from previous but easy to get used to.
Overall
-Good, but Not as Good as Before
I really like D.W. 4 and 5 better. But all in all this was a fun one to play.
