In the sense that nothing about the architecture or art really evokes Japan at all other than that it looks vaguely Asian. (Some bits feel more Chinese than anything.) This is a big budget 2020 game with art done by contracted artists from all over the world, you'd think they'd be able to get a little closer than this, especially with how overexposed Japanese culture has been for a long while now
But is it worse than the Crash 3 China levels
hey I loved riding a tiger along the great wall
They at least read as "China," same with the Arabian, ancient Egyptian, etc levels
