ThatGuyIsWill VR: "Two years ago a trailer was shown off for a PSVR game called Reborn: A Samurai Awakens. The trailer showed fast paced VR combat and a variety of enemies. Since that trailer was first shown we hadn’t seen much from the game until recently, when another trailer was shown and the release date was revealed. So now that it’s out, is Reborn: A Samurai Awakens any good?"
This week Danthol and Ryan chat about Audica, Last Labrynth, Ping Pong Pro, Groundhog Day: Like Father, Like Son, Contagion, Dr. Who: Edge of Time, Reborn: A Samurai Awakens, Prey Typhon Hunter VR, and Golem!
"2019 is coming to an end so I figured now would be a good time to discuss another batch of intriguing PlayStation VR games." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
Pure PlayStation: Reborn: A Samurai Awakens is a bad game that misses every mark it was trying to hit. The enemies are boring and the combat is so bad, I couldn't wait for it to be over. It is to be avoided at all cost.
I feel like there were a few things he forgot to mention, like the gravity attack, the QTEs, lack of actual options like modifying difficulty, no actual replay value aside from finding collectables that only exist to give an actual reason to explore, the dialogue that actually looks like it was translated through Google translator, etc.
Also, does the game actually have 6 stages? Cause so far, from what I have seen, only 5 are available. And even after getting S ranks (which isn't hard to do), you get nothing aside from a few trophies. Really makes you wonder what actually happened during the development of the game, and will Geronimo continue to make games after this?
This has to be a really trash game. I've not seen any score of six and above. In truth I haven't seen a score above two. There seems to be no redeeming quality to this game, that would give someone a reason to play. Maybe the people that hunt trophies can collect a few, haven't checked the game out myself so I don't know if there's even a platinum.
On a positive note, Espire1 just downloaded and should unlock in a few hours.
Sad to see a game like this in such a bad state. As far as wave shooters go, even The Walker had some polish. I'm hoping for a patch or update but given the game's development history, I have my doubts.
Never heard of this game until the release trailer came out a few weeks ago. From the little bit seen in that trailer the game did not look good. Seemed like it was very similar in look to Sairento but no where as polished.
Will invest my money on Contagion instead, as that game in my eyes looks better and seemingly has better atmosphere and gameplay.
Ultimately I will have to look at each games trailers a few times before I finally make a decision.
