Complex: "Anarchy Reigns' intro, with its static, single image background, no music, and no voiceover to match the text, is a proper indicator of the game's low budget design. It's somewhat uncharacteristic of Anarchy's developer, Platinum Games, a company that is also due to release Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Bayonetta 2 this year."
A recent wave of modern brawlers have exploded onto the scene, and it feels like they owe Anarchy Reigns some gratitude.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "With Astral Chain coming out right around the corner for the Nintendo Switch, I couldn’t help but think about all the amazing games PlatinumGames has pumped out over the years. Some revered greatly, others panned by critics, but to me insane infatuation. These are my five favorite games from my favorite developer"
After Xbox's announcement that there won't be any more backwards compatible games until the release of Project Scarlett, here's a reflection of what could, or perhaps should have been.
Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.
Its not as backwards compatibity is dead its just been put on hold so all backwards compatibity game work on next xbox then when its released they will start up again, P.S I did finish Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth
Might get the chance when Scarlett comes out. I mean for all games Xbox 360 and Original Xbox. I can dream it happening.
I wouldn't call a guy with a revolver for a leg predictable in character design but to me the game felt like a better version of Spawn: In the Demon's Hand which was a weird design choice but I found the latter fun and at least it's refreshing to what we are offered now in gaming.
However I do agree with the score from what I have played with the demo, especially when it comes to replay value. I'm going to love it when I pick it up but I doubt many others will fell the same.
