Already knew the game was good.
The port is bordering on flawless with only a few minor technical issues for me so far, that don't seem to be universal and are likely due to my rather mediocre CPU, which is an Intel i5-12600KF.

Buy it if you want a really good romanticized samurai movie in video game format, in the vein of Kurosawa films. But you likely knew what to expect in that regard anyways, you just wanted to know if the port was good.

PSN is only required if you want to play Legends (co-op) which runs off of PSN servers to begin with so it's not an unreasonable thing to require a PSN account for that, that's just how servers work, people.
I've also seen fearmongering about Sony's lackluster account security, just make a throwaway email and password for your PSN account or something if you're really worried about it, you don't have to have a credit card or anything to have a PSN account and on top of that, and I cannot stress this enough:
NOBODY CAN STEAL YOUR STEAM ACCOUNT BY HAVING A PSN ACCOUNT TIED TO IT, THAT IS NOT HOW LOGIN TOKENS WORK.
