WTMG's Leo Faria: "In the grand echelon of modern bullet hell shooters, R-Type Final 3 Evolved is still one of the most advanced and featured-filled games available right now, but as a game only available on the PS5, supposedly taking advantage of what that hardware has to offer? Yeah, I don’t see the point. It’s barely better performing than its predecessor, sometimes featuring framerate hiccups not even R-Type Final 2 had. I don’t see why this wasn’t a cross-gen title, since its exclusivity will do nothing but hinder its sales. It’s still a good shooter, don’t get me wrong, but I expected more from it. This isn’t what I expect from the next generation of the genre."
R-Type Final 3 Evolved is an exciting sidescrolling SHMUP title, but it is quesitonable as to whether this PS5 exclusive is worthy of a full sequel name or should have stayed an expansion. Fans of the genre need look no further for quality gameplay, but just make sure you know what you are buying in
“April was a busy month for indie games and if you're looking to catch up on the very best titles, don't worry; I have you covered.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
R-Type Final returns yet again with a quasi-sequel filled with a number of worthwhile improvements.
The Last great r-type was on ps1. I think it was called r-type delta. That game was amazing and still holds up today.
