Malicious is an exercise in primitivism that should've stayed on PS3.

Malicious Fallen is a game that inherits all the negative elements from its predecessors, which means that what we get is a game that is repetitive, shallow and all-around lukewarm.

I honestly can’t believe this is a Sony published title. I get that it was a ps3 title that was followed up on 7 years later with minimal improvements, But playing on a ps5 makes it look and feel atrocious. Games such as Devil may cry (ps2,ps3, ps4) and bayonetta have aged like fine wine, This has aged as well as using a ford pinto in 2024. The story is minimal unless you came to read chapters of a book before gameplay “for the lore”. The move set is basic and does get interesting once you beat the “monsters” as you unlock more potential for your character it’s honestly over a couple of hours after that. It’s a game I decided to check out in 2024 since I missed it back in ps3, and I gave it 3 and a half hours which was surprisingly enough long enough to beat it, It’s…not good, not good at all. Best thing it’s gor going for it is that it’s a quick experience. Hard pass

It deserves to be noticed too; it’s not the greatest ‘Monster Hunter’ game out there, but it is gorgeous and has a lot of interesting, unique ideas going for it.

Malicious Fallen could've been a really fun and engaging experience, but it falls short because of all its small flaws. The combat system is good, but everything else would have benefited from more polish. At the end of the day, it's a quirk that will please fans of action games, such as Bayonetta and Devil May Cry.

Malicious Fallen is an upgraded version of a game released 7 years ago on PS3. It offers a lot more content and keeps its nervous gameplay, but everything seems a little bit old now.

The fact remains that you have to perform a lot of legwork to understand how each boss works in respect to your abilities. There's a fine line to be crossed in a boss rush game, where hard fought battles lead to either sighs of relief or aggravated groans. Too often, Malicious Fallen earns the latter. Malicious Fallen isn’t a game that feels triumphant so much as tiring.
