SAND LAND

Sand Land is aesthetically beautiful despite its largely brown setting, and clever despite its absurdity. It offers charming characters, engaging customisation systems, and a world that expands on Akira Toriyama’s original vision. It knows what it is and embraces it fully, and that makes it one of the year’s most surprising gems.

Sand Land manages the tough task of translating an enjoyable story without overdoing the open-world mechanics in the process. It’s rough in places but is a respectful adaptation of Toriyama’s work and a pleasant experience throughout.

Broken down into individual pieces, Sand Land doesn't do anything particularly amazing, but when taken as a whole, this is one of the best anime-based games that we've played in a long time. It's got plenty of great story moments, its open world structure is moreish, and combat is satisfyingly solid. A robust and lovingly crafted adventure that charms from start to finish.

Akira Toriyama's manga receives its first video game, preserving its original story and adding very interesting new features. It has illogical design flaws but overall it is not a bad game.

It’s unfortunate that Sand Land isn’t quite up to the standard that one of Japan’s all-time great artists deserves. It’s not that it’s a bad game. It’s very entertaining, especially when you start messing around with the tank battles. It’s just nothing more than a well-made licensed tie-in, something that you’ll forget soon after you play it, and never feel the need to return to. It really does look great, though. Akira Toriyama is going to be missed.

Sand Land offers an action-packed RPG thrill ride, highlighting the importance of the friendships formed during the adventure and emphasizing the bonds between the characters. However, the game is marred by excessive repetition of activities and discouraging melee combat.

The sweet heart of Toriyama beats here, but it alone can’t help to make Sand Land compelling for most.

Critique de la presse une fois de plus injuste au vu de la qualité du jeu ,le jeu est pas parfait mais la DA est sublime et je pèse mes mots la retranscription de l'univers d'akira est au top jeu plaisant à parcourir en véhicules bien sue un peu trop court.

better than I thought, I had an overall fun experience with a new story from an anime that I like a lot

️️️ - vehicles customisation and gameplay - Akira toriyama at character and world design - hilarious relationship between Beelzebub and Thief - game can be chalenging when playing on dificult mode for some bounty head contracts -upgrading your vehicles bith skin skills and level is adictive -old school vibe from ps2 / ps3 RPG's era ️️️ -we always do the same thing (Drive, shoot, explore, boss ob repeat) - some vehicles can get stucked pretty easily when crossing places like swamp for example - casualfights (with fists not in vehicles) are too simple and can be too easily dodged by playing vehicles - game is on repeat, so if you don't like the gameplay from the start, you know its not a game for you - not enough languages translations - no access to resolution or performance mode via the options -poor replayability

Sandland, ayy como me gustaría recomendarlo pero no puedo, yo sigo con él por personajes estilo artístico y ver cómo sigue la historia aunque no sea nada del otro mundo y cinematicas que son bonitas de ver pero por lo demás es un fiasco de juego,un desastre, estoy seguro que la gente que le da buenas valoraciones es por lo mismo que he dicho, por elenco de personajes y estilo artístico y el seguimiento de la trama, pero para eso pues sería mejor ver la serie o película y acabas antes, y halagar la historia, ambientación etc sería como halagar a mad max más bien, porque es una copia descarada sin más y también me ha recordado en el tema de conducción,vehículos y música ambiental mientas vas conduciendo a borderlands y he de decir que incluso el primer borderlands es mejor y más divertido de manejar disparar atropellar etc con vehículos. Sandland como juego,hablando puramente de la parte jugable es soso,anodino,aburrido,repetitivo...

This game just feels extremely repetitive with some of the worst combat I've ever seen in a game. The most disappointing part is that there was real potential, but it just feels like they cared more about rushing out a game to capitalize on Toriyama's name instead of actually putting in the resources to create fun mechanics.
