PlayDevil: The Legend Of Korra Review

PlayDevil has reviewed The Legend of Korra.

Here is a snippet:

"Whilst the game seemed like an introduction to brawlers rather than a fully fledged one, I still enjoyed my five hour blast through the main campaign. Switching between elements for different situations - Earth for heavy attacks, Water for ranged and Air bending for crowd control - was really great and made me begin to feel like Korra. It's a shame that feeling never gets deeper than those initial promises, but for a TV adaptation it isn't a bad attempt."

Today brings a fresh new batch to choose from, but which discounts available between the 25th April and 1st May 2017 should you be looking to splash the cash on this week...and which should you be ignoring?"

Korra is worth a look at its current price, especially if you're a fan of the series

Is Platinum Games Losing its Sheen?

After the cancellation of Scalebound, Platinum Games seems doomed to collapse. But can they find retribution on the horizon?

It's what happens when you stretch yourself too thin.

Absolutely agreed even though I really like Platinum Games I always felt they were hit or miss don't get me wrong Bayonetta and Vanquish are amazing titles the same with wonderful 101 but anything other than that has always been very questionable by them and I believe they had a huge consistency problem.

I'm happy that Nier feels like one of those amazing top games by this team, but I also worry because to my understanding that games development was literally split from the team that was creating the specific story and RPG elements to platinumgames Joseph physically creating the gameplay so it definitely makes me wonder if their team is just drawn too thin.

Right now I'm literally questioning how Nier would have turned out if just Platinum Games was simply working on it and none of the staff from Square Enix

Maybe them simply focused on creating 1 aspect of that game is why it was able to turn out so well in terms of how it feels.

Even though it's pretty easy to blame Microsoft in regards to the cancellation of scalebound if you consider they could have simply put in another team to assist them through the development but at the end of the day they still also contracted this team to do something in the first place.

That's basically like getting mad at a team for struggling to build your kitchen yet paying more money to another team to help the other team to build your kitchen.

I mean the way I see it is Microsoft really shouldn't have to do that if they had a very clear and honest deal with Platinum Games for them to create something for them.

I worry about this company's future because of all the bad releases they've had in the past as of right now the last great game I even remember from this team is probably Bayonetta 2.

I think they need to work on less projects and focus on better and more quality products

I wouldn't want to develop for a company that treats me harshly

'Doomed to collapse'.

Haha. Much drama... they expect people to read this s***?

Depends on who they are working with.

I hate that this isn't the perfect 10 I wanted it to be, but I'm glad that there is still some positives worth mentioning. Great review Jamie.

Jamester07222880d ago

It's far from a perfect 10. It's enjoyable if you're a fan of Ninja Turtles and Platinum games, but it definitely leaves something to be desired.

Deathpreacher2880d ago

good i think the same way 10/10 for this game

luckytrouble2880d ago

After Transformers: Devastation did a Transformers action game so well, giving transformations, combat, freedom, and a Transformers story and telling that felt straight from the old cartoons, it's disappointing that TMNT couldn't turn out to have the same magic. I was looking forward to this one considering it seemed like Platinum had the chops to do it some justice, but it looks like they couldn't quite figure out how to balance more allies consistently battling at the same time and the same level of exploration.

I feel like at this point, TMNT would be done more justice with a throwback 2D title like the SNES days. It's a series that just has had a hard time finding its way in the modern age of film and gaming.

Jamester07222880d ago

I agree. I think this game would have worked much better as a 2-hour $20 downloadable game.

Not that it matters but why is this tagged for Wii U when it didn't (but should have) come out for it.
