Rock Paper Shotgun writes: "Filling a game based on dialogue trees with mythological musical numbers turns out to be an inspired idea in Stray Gods, as it has the quality of writing, composing and character design to pull it off. It bulges with both comedy and tragedy, and while some of the songs lack punch, overall Stray Gods puts on one hell of a show."
The latest EDGE review scores for August 2023 include Exoprimal, Pikmin 4, and more.
Surprised at the relatively high Exoprimal score tbh. It doesn't feel altogether there.
Buddy of mine swears it gets better after 7-9hrs, give or take (he’s at 12hrs). I just can’t do that. But I’ll check it out next time I go to his place.
Sure. I joined a buddy's lobby recently and had some mindless fun with it. Even then, you can implicitly *feel* how it's not quite there with audio/visual feedback and polish. Plus, I'd be worse off by myself b/c you literally have to *grind* to unlock its better game modes - something I was forewarned about in some reviews.
Indeed, the reviews corroborate the grind needed to get to the goods. I’ll just piggyback off buddy’s save when the time comes. See how it looks and handles, at least. Then I’ll check out Remnant etc. He also picked up Atlas Fallen.
I picked up Atlas Fallen on a whim. I genuinely hope it's not a regrettable impulse buy.
Stray Gods is a musical RPG where the player gets to choose the direction of songs in real time, set in a world where gods live among us.
With a star studded cast and unique musical premise does Stray Gods live up to player expectations?
