Blast from the past! If you like controlling parties, pausing and employing tactical strategies to overcome difficult encounters then this game is for you. There is a variety of classes that you can choose, most classes are quite interesting, a great cast of AI companions and also you can fully customise your own mercenaries to accompany you on your quest. The perfect game to scratch that old CRPG itch you may occasionally have. PoE has a mixture of great voice acting and great written dialogue that combines together and actually complements each other perfectly. It has descriptive writing, almost feels like reading a book, whilst you make all the choices in that book. The game has improved in some aspects of the old greats - mainly in the graphical department. It has all been done before and doesn't reinvent the genre, but PoE simply offers the gaming community a modernised Baldur's gate. I enjoyed Divinity Sin, but I found PoE immediately more interesting and more akin to neverwinter nights 2 and the baldurs gate series. This game is a well deserved 9.5 out of 10, it's not perfect, the main storyline is cliché so far... but the interactions, the combat system and the writing is superb and carries the game through. Don't miss this one, unless Rpg's aren't your thing :)

It's the only PS4 hunter game out, and very hard to put down! Although it does suffer from being too easy. 10/10 for me personally. I'm happy that something like this has found its way to the PS4, but this genre isn't for everyone. I believe for the average gamer Toukiden would probably deserve a 7/10. The graphics are mediocre, whilst the game play - very addicting. Overall the game has a charm to it that can keep you hooked. Japanese voiced with English subs, this aids the mediocre storyline as they are voiced very well in their native language. Compared to Monster Hunter, Toukiden holds its own very well. Monster Hunter offers much more interesting combat though. MH is still king of the Hunter games, but if you lack the console to play the Monster Hunter series, Toukiden is a fantastic alternative. As for the future, if the Toukiden series could ramp up the difficulty, work on making the story more engaging and create more diverse game play then they could be king.... Toukiden definitely has the potential, Pros: Mimata grinding, accessible multiplayer, crafting, decent music and decent story, with tons of missions, giving the player lots of hours in gameplay. Cons: Repetitive monsters (some of the Oni are amazing but gets too many re-skins), easy gameplay (can be a good thing or a negative depending on the person playing), grindy (again - perspective), better alternative out there with MH if you have the right console.
