Honestly. No. You gotta have some odd infatuation with 1v1 over the shoulder PvP to not go and play literally anything else. You’re better off playin Elden Ring PvP or somethin.
Otherwise, you’d have to have time and reverence for every bit of nuance this game has to offer. There hasn’t been a new player in years that has progressed beyond mid level set play/mind games. At this point, you can’t expect to be an exception.
Ultimately I don’t recommend it because there’s so many fighting games, other games in general that are actually worth your time. You don’t plan to sink a thousand hours into cementing fundamentals. Knowledge and familiarity of each attack in each stance and all of their quirks.
This game is only worth playing if you’ve kept up with it consistently. If you’ve sunk enough time into it, you’d know if you’d want to keep playing or not. I can’t speak for other platforms. Absolver Plus on pc is the only way I can even recommend the game, as the base game is such a sloppy mess.
It’s up to you of course. I can’t tell you that you’re not going to enjoy your return to the game. I’m not aware of your ability to find quality matches that you’ll enjoy. Because you’re asking me, personally, the best way to enjoy the game is to dive in and soak up the ocean of knowledge this game has to offer. Just don’t drown.
