They essentially stole Roiland’s creation and tried to continue it without him. Nothing here works. The humor is bad. The story is lame. It runs poorly. Pale imitation of the first game. Squanch games without Roiland might as well hang up it’s hat.
Presentation and Character designs are ok but other than that I have some issues with the game. Most of the music is royalty free, most of the moves are copied from Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, MVC, Samurai Showdown without combos as a focus. I thought that I’d be able to turn off the screen effects but those are baked in - I’m really not a fan of those. Feels like stages should’ve been set up more like a smash bros environment than a traditional 1 v 1 fighter. The game required out of the box development ideas to really make it work - as a final product it’s interesting visually but it’s not fun to play.
I’ve played and beat almost all of the Yakuza games (other than 3 & 4). I couldn’t finish Judgement - I don’t like any of the characters movesets, the game drags on without an engaging story in my opinion, I really dislike the way they implemented the detective mechanics with hide and go seek sections. Not for me, seems like it was a rush job.
It’s ok, but I didn’t like how the majority of the characters played. Somehow Spiderman is one of the worst characters. The level up system that was tacked on was unnecessary, the bosses were all pretty much the same, three separate stages used Galactus as a background placeholder. No real variation in gameplay throughout the stages. Nothing funny or goofy or standout, it’s all boilerplate beat em up and other than the switching system and (bad) airborne flying combat, it doesn’t do anything new that hasn’t been done before. The airborne fighting was annoying but they forced it on the player since there are several enemy types that only fly. I got bored of fighting bug creatures. Sentinels with worms in them was Dumb. You only fought against sentinels a couple times, all the other stages were just fighting against bugs. Lastly AAA companies should not be invading indie spaces - they have the money to do whatever they want to, leave the indies alone. Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Silent Hill is a physical location in the lore. This is a different unrelated game with the title Silent Hill tacked on. If it were named differently it would be about a 6/10 but as a Silent Hill title it’s at best a 2.
I really don’t like what they did to the story. They reversed all of Ichibans achievements and progress he made in LAD1 and turned him into more of a reactive character instead of someone with agency. The story is very bad. Not to mention how they butchered my boy Kiryu. Game is fun to play if you ignore the glaring story issues. In my headcanon, Yakuza 0-5 are canon and LAD1 is the epilogue. All the other Yakuza game stories are non-canon.
It’s beyond me how anyone could think positively about this “game” there’s nothing to it. You herd monster sheep and walk slowly around largely empty environments… every now and then there’s a baby brained puzzle anddd that’s it.
I think we all expected more from this. I’m very underwhelmed by the experience. The tracks are a joke with huge straights and very wide roadswith nothing going on. This isn’t a fun game and no one should support their video game $ price hike. Not to mention the completely bland open game world where, again nothing happens - weird gimmick with 0 payoff.
Dragon Age in name only. Has barely anything to do with the story developed in Origins through Inquisition. The tone is really weird and off. I don’t care about gay/trans options, that’s fine, I love all people - but pushing that so hard just feels off and doesn’t fit the setting. Maybe it’s because the writing is so poor. Honestly the truth is that these Devs simply co-opted the Dragon Age franchise instead of making their own unique franchise and that’s what has people so heated. Dragon Age is dead.
Love that they included so many characters and the environments being destructible is cool. Animations are great… but the game just isn’t very fun. It’s super flashy and impressive looking but it is very basic in the gameplay department.
This is one of the most boring brawlers in existence. They gave the player characters a stamina bar for some reason which depletes anytime you use a combo. When it’s gone all you can do is one hit until it replenishes. Seriously poor game design that just lazily copies comix zone.
The original is a masterpiece, but this is missing a lot of small details from the original & they censored a lot of stuff here for no reason. I’m not buying censored video games ever again. Gameplay is a complete joke, zombies don’t pose much of a threat at all. There’s significantly fewer zombies in the mall as well. Really changes the atmosphere for the worse. More weird changes: The male zombies aren’t supposed to bite Frank in the belly/crotch.
I love the original game. This one tries to be too serious and the guns are so weak. The story changes and character model updates aren’t very well thought out. The game is boring, sound design is terrible, va work ****, I could go on. The remake is a pale imitation of it’s far superior predecessor.
Why not just make a movie? I’ve always thought this franchise was overrated. This completely fails as a game, and as a movie it’s very long and boring.
Wayyyy overhyped for a basic pixel art puzzle game. It’s fine, but 10/10? Absolutely not. It’s a just a blob jumping around a bunch of caves looking for (way too many) collectables. Who has time for that or finds that fun & why?
They have 95% returning characters and hardly anything new. The core of TEKKEN has always been solid and will continue to be, but there’s just no point in buying this. The story made has you fight kazuya over and over for over 50% of the run time, and it gets tedious and boring. Tekken force is in the story for like 30 mins which is ok, but I would’ve liked for it to have been a full mode. TEKKEN peaked at 6 and this is just riding coattails for an easy payday.
They went about the game all wrong. It should have been single player… The characters are grating, the humor is lacking, the nickel and diming is atrocious, the deaths/kills aren’t fun, the world is bland, the boss fights are stupid, the enemy types are uninspired, I could go on easily. It’s a stinker all the way around. If you must play this, rent it. Do not buy this, you will regret it. Chalk up another massive L for Sweet Baby Inc.
