   Hoping for a sequel – Amazing game! Looking forward to hopefully a sequel someday. My only issue is the pacing is a bit weird — you go between fast paced, super-engaging battles and long stretches of walking/investigations. Worth for the battle system though

   Amazing Hack n slash sci Fi game – Fantastic hack n slash story game. This game is a really fun adventure game. Their is a second character/beast that you control at the exact same time so the gameplay is fun and exciting. A little bit of a learning curve but satisfying. It’s a sci Fi story with great pacing. Definitely recommend this game, especially if you like Bayonetta style of games.

   Please Play This So We Can Have Astral Chain 2 – Seriously amazing and underrated game/movie thing… it’s a highly cinematic and curated roller coaster ride of complex and epic action, and basically sold me on Platinum Games.

   It takes some time to get used to controlling TWO characters at once, because you have your protag, and you can also hold a button to manually move your Legion with the other joystick- while also moving your protag if you want to, allowing you to do pincer attacks and wrap up enemies faster to slow them down.
   I like to describe this as “Pokemon Ranger on crack” because of that mechanic. Definitely seems like something that’s “not hard to pick up, difficult to master”

   If you’ve played other Platinum Games made prior to this one, you can definitely see that they took mechanics from here and there that they had before and incorporated them into this one for an even greater experience. Like one Legion has a slicing mode in slowed time just like in Metal Gear Rising, which is also one of the funnest games I’ve played.

   I also really like the other chars who are your friends/family. …Except your sibling is kind of a dick… they’re just super angry for some reason!

   The game looks beautiful too, I can’t believe it’s on Switch…

   Great action game, switch might not have enough horse power for the game to reach its full potential but I’m happy this is on the switch and I can play it on handheld.

    Action packed, meaty game with a side of humor. – Plantain I’m games came out with a hit. Don’t sleep on this game. It’s got some of the craziest combos and action I’ve seen in a game since the ninja garden series. It’s also got a similar vibe.

    You’re part of this task force tasked with killing these beings from another dimensions. You can control these robots that are supposed to be from that dimensions as well. They’re chained to you. You combo with them or unchain them for them to go on rampages to better support you.

    You can ride one of them around. You can armoire up by jumping inside one of them. It’s a great game.

    There’s also a hum out side to it with their amazing dog mascot!
    I highly recommend you play this game

    There’s so much to do that although I completed the game I did not do all the side mission like I usually do
