BABYLON'S FALL

The visuals make this completely unplayable, it hurts the eyes and i dont mean some art crit way i mean they literally hurt the eyes real physical pain. the game play is uninspired and sloppy. i could forgive it for not being new or unique but it also just feels bad or off in every fight.

神ゲーです、みんな遊びましょう あれ？何でプレイできないんだろう・・・

I had a great time with this. I don't know why it got shafted by reviewers. Maybe it had more problems at launch but when I played during 1.3 I really enjoyed it. Its got a fun and unique combat system where you build your own moveset that keeps getting deeper, especially after you beat the game. There's also a good amount of varied content and a lot of unique bosses and minibosses. There was no grind at all, I just went from story mission to story mission almost entirely solo. Some bosses in the beginning were really drawn out and took about half an hour but I found it was an engaging endurance test. The visuals are hit or miss for some people but I really liked them and the filter makes the game look so much worse on stream than it is in game, on top of it going away after the simulation of the world is shattered as if you could see clearly again (no one could possibly care about spoilers anymore, right?). The story is interesting enough and has that classic platinum flare. Scenes like the boss growing wings from his back and using a rocket spear to fly into the sky and chuck it at a point in the sky that cracks and turns out to be television screens fueling the illusion we're all in will definitely stick with me. I will never understand why this was the worst game of 2022 for some reviewers. I liked everything I played. It would have been great for this to go free to play to show people how much had changed or at least allow an offline mode. Better yet, this shouldn't have been a live service in the first place. It should have been a coop spectacle fighter. We don't really get those anyway. Lastly, I want to thank the developers at Platinum for making such an excellent game despite the management and criticism. I'll miss it.
