Deludente esperienza da dimenticare, gameplay legnoso e con svariati bug che compromettono la giocabilità,

Un titolo che tradisce tutte le sue promesse presentandosi come un titolo lento, legnoso e datato di almeno 20 anni una delusione totale. 2.3/10

Leider muss ich den schlechten Zustand des Spieles bestätigen. Die Idee ist super, mit den eintauchen in Gegnern und das macht auch am meisten Spaß - jedoch ist die Umsetzung auch eher naja. Die Grafik ist zum Großteil sehr altbacken, hat nur wenige schöne Momente. Die Technik ist grausam. Es spielt sich nicht besonders gut und ich musste zb das Spiel mehrmals neustarten, weil irgendwelche Moves nicht gingen, einfache Sachen wie zb ducken und dann kam man nicht weiter. Nach dem Neustart konnte man sich dann wieder ducken. Im Umkehrschluss heißt das auch, dass das Spiel nie fertig gepatcht wurde. Also "scheiß egal"-Politik gefahren, das ist mies. Da hätte was gutes draus werden können. Da der Action-Adventure-Markt derzeit sehr rar gesaäht ist und alle nur noch Souls & Metrodvania entwickeln neben den ganzen Service-Games, hab ich es dann doch durchgespielt, weil dafür war es mir gerade noch gut genug und ist halt mein Lieblings-Genre.

Thanks to this garbage, I understand that many games were greatly underestimated by me. I really hope that it can't get any worse. Although with each passing year the bar is lower and lower. Which personally scares me.

Honestly the game is fun. The body switch mechanics are cooland the cities are interesting to explore. I don’t understand the hate while some other games get a blind pass and this game has some fun aspects to it. Is it goty? Probably not but it’s a fun game that doesn’t pull punches and isn’t a. AAA blockbuster but is perfectfor what it is

J’ai terminé le jeu à 100% et je souhaite lui mettre la note de 10 pour remonter sa moyenne, car il ne mérite clairement pas les mauvaises notes qu’il reçoit. À mes yeux, il vaut plutôt un solide 7/10 : ce n’est pas un chef-d’œuvre, mais il reste très bon dans son genre.Certes, les graphismes, notamment au niveau des visages, sont en retrait et rappellent parfois l’ère PS3, ce qui peut décevoir. Cependant, l’histoire est prenante et le gameplay vraiment réussi. On ne s’ennuie jamais : l’action et l’infiltration s’enchaînent sans temps mort, ce qui rend l’expérience très **** manque peut-être quelques phases de plateformes ou des scènes d’action plus spectaculaires, à la manière d’un Tomb Raider ou d’un Uncharted, pour varier encore davantage le rythme. Malgré ces **** défauts, je recommande ce jeu à tous les amateurs d’aventure. Il n’est pas parfait, mais il mérite d’être découvert et apprécié pour ses qualités.

Sempre apareço por aqui para ver como esta o jogo que descido jogar, dessa vez não fiz isso e me arrependi. Esse jogo Extremamente ruim, bugado, perdi as contas as vezes que tive que reiniciar, a marcação nos npcs saem constantemente, toda hora tem que marcar novamente, vou nem falar do parry, com menos de 9 horas eu exclui o jogo. Mecânica muito ruim, a proposta do jogo e a lore até são legais, mas falta muito para agradar alguem.

rottr could run on a gpu from 2013... this has issues on ps5 and is slightly lower fidelity. I will vote at a value which will not change the score since Im really just hear to leave this comment

Another game with potential ruined by Sweet Baby Inc. It's not enough for them to ruin the game screenplay, but also the gameplay? that's awfall. They really meant it when they said they want to burn the games industry to the ground

The game has potential, but they have to add a performance mode patch. I'm sure many gamers saw the 30fps cap and just turned it off without even playing it. 60fps is a must for current gen games. I think some of the abilities are cool, just needs more polishing.

un titolo estremamente insufficiente che non ha mostrato nessuna delle innovazioni promesse e anzi unknown 9: awakening è un titolo peggiore di un titolo brutto ma è un prodotto mediocre e presso che dimenticabile. 4.4/10

I bought this game on Black Friday sales but OMG what a horrible graphic is that! It gave me eye bleeding! If you want to protect your eyes don't play it even if it's free!

(MY SCORE : 6.8 /10) A Narrative-Driven Third-Person Action-Adventure Game that is actually fun, it's just that the graphics are not good and the combat is stiff! In this game we become Haroona, a young Queastor from Kolkata, India, who can draw energy from another dimension called Fold and can use her powers to make herself invisible, can control other people's bodies by doing "stepping" or even pulling souls out of their bodies! Haroona can find anomalies, using a number of Gnosis points, to learn skills, namely Umbric Abilities, Combat, and Stealth. While exploring with their mentor, Reika, they encounter Vincent Lichter and his army of evil-turned Leap Year Society members, the Ascendants. Vincent also has powers similar to Haroona and Reika! Reika confronts Vincent and his army. When Reika seems overwhelmed facing Vincent, she tells Haroona to run away! The attack from Vincent even made Reika's body perish! Seeing this, Haroona runs away while intending to take revenge on Vincent for Reika's death! Four years later, Haroona meets Luther Goodwin and helps him to rescue the airship "Morning Star" captured by the Ascendants under the leadership of Vincent's Right Hand, Mila Savic! Haroona must confront Mila Savic, and manages to escape with The Morning Star, but Mila gets Haroona's Journal! On board The Morning Star, Haroona meets the remaining members of the Leap Year Society, who refuse to join the Ascendants, one of whom is Buchra. Buchra tells Haroona that the Ascendants are looking for her Amulet! And Luther tells Haroona that Reika is alive! But Reika is captured by Vincent! Haroona returns to her village and meets Azad, her childhood friend, who informs her that the village is under attack by the Ascendants who are looking for her! After carrying the Reika Amulet, Haroona left her village, bypassing the Ascendants who attacked her! After briefly meeting Vincent Lichter, and fighting with him, in a desperate condition, Haroona was rescued by Luther and escaped using the Morning Star ship. Luther tells Haroona that Vincent found an interesting " power "in the Deep Fold called"Seshin". Vincent needs Reika's help to dive into the Deep Fold! Haroona and The Morning Star ship bound for Sintra, Portugal! To find out Vincent's intentions and Reika's whereabouts, on Buchra's instructions, Haroona targets Dr. Emilio Matos. Haroona and Luther are finally met by Dr. Matos however he was inside his machine, and apparently his shadow was trapped inside the Deep Fold! Haroona was ordered by Luther to activate the Sahin Table and then use the Reika Amulet to activate the gate to Fold, telling him to dive into the Fold! Inside the Fold, Haroona meets the shadow of Dr. It is Matos who greets her and tells her that he met Haroona many times at the Fold, although Haroona doesn't remember it! Haroona also asked Dr. Matos about the existence of Reika. Dr. Matos also told that Reika revealed the existence of a dangerous Powerful Artifact, the Cambrian Device, which caused big problems when the Unknown 9 used it. Dr. Matos tells Haroona that Vincent and the Ascendants are heading to Anatolia to secure the Cambrian Device, he asks Haroona to prevent them! The Artifact turns out to be able to be used to release Seshin which can cause chaos in the world, and Vincent wants to merge with Seshin! In Anatolia, Haroona finally finds the Cambrian Device, and after it is activated, she sees the shadows of the Unknown 9, and one of them is Reika! Haroona leaves with the Cambrian Device, and finally meets Reika! But it turns out that Reika is working with Vincent, she uses Buchra's body to force Haroona to hand over the artifact and then give it to Vincent! Haroona, Buchra and Luther are locked up on The Morning Star ship! Once they are free, they go to hunt Vincent! They were blocked by Mila Savic, who ended up fighting with Luther, Unfortunately, although he managed to kill Mila Savic, Luther was also shot and eventually died! Haroona and Buchra continue their journey, arriving at Peshanden, Haroona dives into the Deep Fold, accompanied by the shadow of Dr. Matos, Haroona's headed to where Seshin is. There had been waiting for Vincent Lichter, and it appeared Reika was using her powers to resurrect Seshin. Vincent Lichter was defeated, and he was drawn into the maelstrom of Deep Fold! And instead seshin possessed Haroona's body, Reika tried to calm Haroona, he told Haroona to go to Reithden to find answers and he finally absorbed Seshin to possess him until Seshin was imprisoned in his body, and Reika's body was locked in a Capsule. Reika possesses Buchra's body to show Haroona the way to Reithden. Arriving in Reithden, Haroona parted ways with Reika and Buchra. She opened the Reithden gate and sat down in one of the Unknown 9 chairs! There are 13 Chapters to complete the game.

A mini-review. I've been trying to figure out what I can write about this game to say it's really good, without triggering the people who've already bought into the grift without ever even playing it. I could highlight the negatives: companions nag you to hurry up while scouting for collectibles, no 60 FPS mode (but its 30 FPS is smooth and consistent), and Haroona's character model does a disservice to actress Anya Chalotra (Netflix's The Witcher); but these are nit-picks. So forget those people. It's a really good, really fun triple-A third-person action/stealth adventure in the vein of A Plague Tale, Assassin's Creed, and Uncharted. Linear levels are well-balanced and varied, although it does get combat encounter-heavy in the last few. It's one of the most underrated, under-the-radar gems of 2024. A bit more: There's no "forced DEI" in this game. People telling you otherwise are being disingenuous at best, downright malicious at worst. The cast of characters, including the protagonist, is racially diverse. That's it. If that's not your thing, then there's a word (or two or three) to describe your mindset. I'm sure you can figure it out. For the rest of us, this is about as close as we've gotten to a new Uncharted or Tomb Raider (minus the shooting) in a while. I encountered a few minor bugs, but I've seen far worse in higher-profile games (like when I fell through the world in Jedi Fallen Order). The story is engaging, although a bit analogous to certain beats from the Assassin's Creed series (an ancient precursor race, and a good secret society fighting a bad secret society). It's a game that gets better the more you play and the more abilities you unlock. The game's stealth takedown is awesome; you basically rip a baddie's ghost out of their body. Stealth in general is really good, especially after unlocking abilities like Step and Ripple to possess or misdirect enemies. The enemies are just the right amount of dumb; if you think you want stealth in a game with super-smart enemies, trust me, you don't. Combat is best avoided early on, but becomes easier as you progress. Lining up multiple Steps (possessions) in a row and then watching the chaos unfold is *chef's kiss* perfection. What the "anti-woke" crowd is doing with this and other recent game releases is foolish, absurd, highly disappointing, and in cases like Unknown 9, isn't even consistent with the reality of what the game is. I hope they get tired of it soon.

This game is awesome! Iam enjoying it very much . People are judging the game on other games and get disappointed when it doesn’t meet there expectations. I judged this game based on the enjoyment I had while playing it. You should do the same.

Unknown9 Awakening est un bon jeu qui mérite d'être découvert. Une fois la prise en main du gameplay fait on prend beaucoup de plaisir au combat, les environnements sont bien travaillés.
Petit bémol sur les visages des personnages principaux. Mais l'histoire est très bien, j'aimerais beaucoup avoir la suite de cette nouvelle licence

Lots of good ideas, but somewhat poorly executed. Gameplay was great, but I ran into some graphics bugs along the way. Boss fights are unnecessarily challenging and way too easy at the same time (and I know that sounds odd). There is also one type of enemy where you basucally just hide and reflect bullets over and over to beat them, which is a waste of time. Still, I think this game is worth the play if you like "Uncharted" style games. Wait for a $30 price and it will be worth the play.

I bought this game because of Checkpoint Gaming's good review, but I've learned my lesson not to trust game journalists, especially Checkpoint Gaming. The game is terrible in terms of its main story and gameplay, and unfortunately, I can't refund it on the PS Store.

Unfortunately, the game is boring and narrative-driven.
Boring gameplay and the story itself with dialogs.

Summarizing Unknown 9: Awakening's problems in one conclusion is difficult - there are simply too many. In terms of gameplay and presentation, the title lags years behind all current standards; neither the story nor the cliched characters can be attributed any significant positive facet. The few good ideas are almost completely lost in the overwhelming presence of mediocre genre standards. And the tricky combat system is finally the nail in the coffin due to stupidly acting opponents and the chronically hostile camera operation. What was supposed to be the start of a new franchise could quickly turn into a stillbirth. No matter what audience a product like this is aimed at, it’s just not a good thing.

Dear Bandai, what just had happened!? This is not a game. Glitch absurd version of assets on the disk, made for ps3 but cost me and arm and a leg as super exclusive expensive ps5 game. Please, do not do same things again.

Game reuses the same NPCs in the same location justo to fill the map. Uses gibberish dialog to fake conversations. Graphics looks like PS3 and is full of bugs.
Given free by AMD to raise the sales.

I think it's a good effort. There are issues with the graphics, the battles but for some reason it kept me going. A good upgrade from the developers will fix a lot

This AA game offers a good promise, especially the stepping mechanics. The story is also pretty enjoyable. However I have to admit it has a few technicals issues, but I heard the studio had a bumpy ride during the production process. Animations are stiff, cinematics are weak,and there sitll a few bugs here and there.

I got this game for free. Usually I'm more forgiving for things I get for free but this crap is really bad. I rage quit after 2h as I was unable to play it any longer!

Not the disaster people want to portray. Some of the critics are overly exaggerating. It's far from the game of the year, but if you're looking for a classic linear adventure with some exploration, traversal and an attempt at original combat mechanic, you may have a good time with Unknown 9 Awakening. The locations are interesting and there are some stunning vistas while you travel the globe.

I've never played a game this bad before. It's like an old game. And why did the main character have to be made ugly? I don't understand.

I'll give them points as a proof of concept. The abilities, the setting, and the performance by Anya Cholatra is solid top tier headline star power draw. But for a $50 AA game... this ain't it folks. The execution is clunky and jank at best, and A LOT of the game needs refinement and attention. I couldn't get very far into the game (and was even well past the refund window) and I had to give up. It's just a chore most of the time. Sure the animated visuals for specific abilities which are mostly very cool as far as I saw, and fairly unique, it was consistently jarring clipping from free roam or combat into those animations, so much so that it went past any "artistic expression" and felt like an alpha game with beta+ visual finishing. The game was rough, too rough to even bother with finishing, which doesn't seem hard to do at that. The game is PAINFULLY easy and over simplified. Maybe some more time in development to polish things? Maybe some more mechanics to bridge together some of the more monotonous gameplay and ultra repetitive and toddler level puzzle solving (my 2 year old literally helped solve some of the puzzles and it was the only fun I really got with the game)? It just doesn't feel like a game and it's outrageous to recommend it for any price. It really does feel like an early demo or proof of concept. You got my $50, so do something with it by fixing this broke ass game before you turn around and try to make an expanded universe spin off! (I went to their website to see what other games they were working on and it turns out they're gearing up for books, comics, podcasts, and a web series starring Anya, but they might wanna fix their **** first, because... this ain't it)

Terrible design, bad execution and boring gameplay. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they decided to green light this. The script is horrendous and the characters feel so forced and out of place. There are plenty of better titles you can play for much less money or even free.

Ich finde das Spiel gut weil es ein echt neues Kampfsysten hat welches ich in der Form bisher noch bei keinem Game hatte. Es ist richtig das die grafik einem nicht unbedingt vom Hocker reißt aber man muß auch mal über Fehler hinwegsehen können wenn das Spiel an sich Spaß **** Länge ist recht kurz was bei mir zu Abzügen geführt hat. Auch die Unmengen Sammlerstücke häten nicht sein müssen. Pro und Contra halten sich bei mir die Waage deshalb 5 von 10

Alright, lemme break it down for ya, kid. Unknow 9: Awakening, huh? Well, let me tell ya, it's a real mixed bag. The cinematics are top-notch, no doubt about it. The mise-en-scene is a feast for the eyes, and the actors do a bang-up job. The lighting is like a movie star, and the art direction is a ****, here's the thing: the gameplay is a whole different story. The possession mechanic is kinda cool, but it feels like it's just there for show. The character progression is like a snail on ice. Haroona's just dropped into the world, and we don't really get a sense of her goals or motivation. The game mechanics are repetitive and feel unnatural. The white markers are like a babysitter, and the animations are a bit buggy. The sound is great, but it could use a bit more **** hey, the voice acting is fantastic. Anya's portrayal of Haroona is top-notch. And the UI... well, let's just say it's a bit of a headache. The power tree is a cool feature, but it's not **** it wasn't for the cinematics, I'd give this game a 4. The potential is there, but it's buried under a pile of gameplay issues. The developers need to step out of their comfort zone and try something new. Otherwise, they might wanna consider a career change to moviemaking.Final score: 7/10.

This game is very cool. Some people don't like it just because SBI company participated in this project, it is a company that helps diversity and inclusion. Having a NON-sexualized female character is very appreciated, thank you for that. Visually it's a very beautiful game.

J'ai joué à ce jeu gratuitement via une offre AMD et j'ai détesté.
Rien ne vas, gameplay nul, IA buggee qui glisse sur le sol, graphisme de PS2, Stutter en jeu, Chara-design des persos horrible, etc.
Je ne vous recommande pas ce jeu.
On notera aussi la collaboration avec SBI !

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les sociétés de jeux et leurs dirigeants insistent toujours pour s'associer à des sociétés de conseil parasites comme SBI et d'autres. Vous n'avez même pas besoin de mener une analyse approfondie du marché ou de repérer les tendances pour comprendre à quel point un partenariat avec ces entreprises est mauvais pour votre produit. Quant au jeu, il n'a rien de spécial et n'apporte rien de nouveau. Il est insultant, générique, sans âme et avec des graphismes ps3 inacceptables, la cerise sur le gâteau est son prix de 50 $. Je ne serai pas surpris de voir le studio se faire complètement licencier dans les mois à venir. Bandai Namco, que faites-vous ? Rendez-nous Soul Calibur ffs et arrêtez de brûler l'argent et la bonne volonté de vos fans

Okay so I played this game about 1 hour and honestly I don’t know why everyone hates it. I listened to the story and I play on hard difficulty. The combat is fun and immersive.

Huge disappointment. Awakening was supposed to be Uncharted style adventure, with equal amount of exploration, puzzle solving and combat. But what we get is basically just tedious and dull combat thru samey levels, and that's it. Similarly, the game was supposed to contain awe inspiring vistas on diverse landscapes. but what we get is samey stages with nothing interesting in sight. On top of that, the setting, story and characters are very bland indeed. So, 3/10. Easily the worst game this year for me. There is already talk of sequel, but even if they did give it to a studio that can actually make adventure games, the bland setting and uninteresting characters would still make it no seller, so I advice just burying the whole franchise and not waste anyone's time or money on it in the future.

Absolutely appalling that Bandai Namco would publish and support such an underwhelming pseudo-product. Poor performance, shameful bugs and glitches that show evidence of incompetent developers and an unfinished product along with a disastrously written story all combine into one of the worst video games of this year.

An unispired, unoriginal mess ****. clunky mechanics, very dated graphics, poor writing and forgetable characters. It's yet another game that feels like the devs just gave up on it because they knew it was going to fail.
