Miraculous - Paris Under Siege

If you are a fan of the series, I think many of you will enjoy this game! It is by no means perfect and could definitely use some polishing, but I didn't personally experience anything that made me Not want to play. As other reviews also stated, it is a major improvement from the previous game. That being said, there are definitely some "bugs" (lol) that I came across, but they really didn't start happening until a little later in the game. There were times where the game wouldn't allow my character to go to a certain area (even if it looks like you can and there are experience pips there), times where my character got stuck in something and I had to restart my checkpoint (at least thankfully I didn't have to restart whole levels), and times where I had to work around the route that was laid out because I straight up could NOT get my character to make the jumps the game wanted me to at times. I also experienced enemies taking FOREVER to spawn in between the last few waves in the Tower Battle Arena; they did eventually spawn in, it just took way longer than necessary. Besides that, there are only a few quality of life changes I would make that I can think of off the top of my head. 1.) The fixed camera angles that happen at random points weren't too detrimental to my gameplay, but it is kind of annoying at times; I prefer how the game is the majority of the time where I can move the camera freely. The fixed camera angles aren't really necessary. 2.) I would definitely add the ability to change keybinds. I was mostly comfortable with how they were set, but having the option to change some of them is always nice. 3.) Adding some more customization would be cool! They're on the right track at least. 4.) The team ups with the other heroes could really use some improvements; I hardly used them at all because they didn't do much and didn't feel necessary in combat. 5.) I'd love to see more building on the open world; you can somewhat explore, but not really. You're pretty limited to Mari's house and the immediate surroundings. I also wanna see more from CN's point of view! 6.) Last thing I'd adjust would be being able to switch between LB and CN quicker. There were a couple of times where one of them was dangerously low on health and I needed to switch, but nothing would happen for several seconds when holding down to switch and I'd get clapped in combat. Overall though, I had a lot of fun playing this! It was a nice break from some of the other games I'd been playing. I really enjoyed the combat move sets and being able to leap around Paris. The story was interesting and featured many of the characters that we know and love. I'm so glad they were able to use most (if not all) of the original cast. The levels were unique and so much fun to explore! I particularly enjoyed the Bubbler and Lady WiFi levels. I liked the challenge of the final areas in the game (even if I about cried trying to get through all of those rotating platforms worried I was gonna keep falling off over and over again lol). I'm sure the co-op in this game is fun, but there are very few people that I think I could convince to play this with me to test it out. I'm just personally glad to experience this content while we're on basically another mini hiatus for the series. I agree with the other reviews that say not to pay $50 - $60 for the game. It's no Elden Ring, that's for sure! But it is a fun and relatively quick game that I feel is worth playing through at least once if you enjoy Miraculous content! Just do what I did and keep an eye out for when it goes on sale.
