Short Game Description
You play as YoRHa Androids, supposed to fight Machine lifeforms, but during the story line you get to know a lot of about the in-game universe, full playthrough consists of 5 main endings (A-E).
Positives
Awesome OST, starting from ambient ending with battles
Enormous in-game universe, a lot of lore and amazing details (notes and etc)
Smooth and cinematic fighting animations
Fishing. One-click fishing in cinematic locations is brilliant.
Negatives
All combat skills must be found blindly yourself, no skill list granted
Grind. A lot of grind. The archives entries of the machines are a pain in the ass
Sometimes the game turns from 3D into a kind of 2D platformer, looks very weird
Conclusion
The game is a pretty good slasher with outstanding locations in appearance, perfect OST and good story line. Going platinum allows you to discover the game from a different perspective, definitely recommend it. Overall, one of the best games I ever played. Glory to mankind!
Overall rating: 9/10
