PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

If you ate up titles like Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance or Devil May Cry because of their fighting systems, Korra is your game. It's just a shame that the narrative is so far removed from the quality we have come to expect from the series.

Platinum Games may not have made a Legend of Korra game that plumbs the same well of soul that the source material does, but they've made something elementally entertaining all the same.

The Legend of Korra is rife with potential that sadly goes unexplored. While combat is satisfying and the animated series is visually well represented, it lacks the tactical depth to entice hardcore action gamers and the storytelling to truly satisfy fans of the show.

It feels like a game they just have to do, quick and within a limited budget. Still, it is fun and once everything is unlocked the combat system get deeper than we though.

It feels cheap, it feels rushed, and it is also very short.

The Legend of Korra is a game that has a clear understanding of the source material, but without the budget to really dig in and do that material justice.

It may not be the deep and massive game The Legend of Korra deserves, but this game is still a nice little beat'em all by Platinum Games.

It might not live up to Platinum Games’ sky-high pedigree, and you might be compelled to call it their first misstep, but The Legend of Korra is a good starting point if you want to see what Platinum Games are all about.

Korra's fiction and Platinum's development lineage impart a veritable dream team of narrative and design, but neither party seemed to bring the necessary hardware to live up to their respective and respected standards.

For fans of the series, the four to six hour completion time coupled with good replay value will make the cheaper price tag worth a shot. For everyone else, though, this is a sometimes enjoyable but largely forgettable action romp.
