Eurogamer: Vanquish Review

Vanquish is a game of astounding creativity and polish, exhilarating on the ground in the moment-to-moment thrills of high-speed-to-slow-motion combat, as well as in its wider, twisting trajectory. Doubtless the best third-person shooter ever to come out of Japan, Vanquish builds on Western developers' triumphs to push the genre in new, interesting directions, shifting the balance of power, and cementing Shinji Mikami's position as one of the best directors working in videogames today.

I don't even heard Quantum Theory anymore, lol.

erathaol4989d ago (Edited 4989d ago )

Literally my jaw dropped when I saw this Eurogamer review. I don't always agree with them and I have been very vocal about that in the past, just at least they do write just cause for their reviews. That's more than I can say for Jim Sterling's "look over hear" reviews.

Edit - I still don't get the term too much variety though, maybe it has to do with variety being a spice of life and some people just eat things that are too spicy.

:P

No multiplayer, no buy.. simple as that for me

gillri4989d ago (Edited 4989d ago )

well i buy this for £28....play it, have an amazing experience, then sell it on ebay soon after for pretty much the same price

problem sorted

I do this with lots of games if I know I wont play it again

zatrox4989d ago (Edited 4989d ago )

This is what I hate about "gamers" this generation.

"OH NO IT DOESN'T HAS A MULTIPLAYER THAT WOULD COMPLETLY STRIP THE GAME FROM WHAT MADE IT AN AWESOME SINGLE-PLAYER AND ONLY WASTES MONEY AND TIME THAT COULD GO ONTO POLISHING THE GAME."

Oh, and before you say something, it does turns out that way. You wouldn't have the "bullet-time" mechanic, and the sliding would make battles so fast your internet (And well, aiming as a whole..) would have time struggling to keep track on what's happening.

Seriously, what the hell.

kaveti66164989d ago

well it's also a very short game. Fallout 3 also doesn't have MP but I bought it because it can take hundreds of hours to complete. Vanquish is a very fun, but very short game. This is something developers should think about when making a game that they're going to sell at 65 dollars at retail.

Lifendz4989d ago

no multiplayer no buy? That's why so many devs are forcing multiplayer into games that should be single player only.

lastdual4989d ago (Edited 4989d ago )

Vanquish, Castlevania, Enslaved.....lots of games with scores all over the place this season.

ocnkng4989d ago

Eurogamer's reviews way more then IGN now. So ya this is a big plus for me.

blusoops4989d ago

ign gave this an 8.5

pretty close in my opinion

ocnkng4989d ago

but can't help the niggling feeling that the only reason IGN didn't give this a 9(AAA) is because its not a well established prublisher/studio behind it. (Shinji Mikami is a legend but Plat games is still a new kid on the block). Just my opinion though.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake64d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX64d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer64d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils64d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg64d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Titan fall 2 was chefs kiss. For those of you who haven't played it go ahead. Brilliant. With each level being creatively different.

Yui_Suzumiya378d ago

Island, Steins;Gate Elite and Soma.

MadLad377d ago

Soma is an epic experience.

jznrpg377d ago (Edited 377d ago )

Does ISLAND have English subs ? I can’t find a copy that says it has English subs for PS only the Switch version which I rather not buy .

Love Steins Gate and Soma

shinoff2183377d ago (Edited 377d ago )

FRom what i could find. Nothing with English subs.

Yui_Suzumiya376d ago

I own a physical copy on Switch and it does have English subtitles so it's all good on Switch and Playstation.

Yui_Suzumiya376d ago (Edited 376d ago )

My bad. Steam and Switch have English but PS4 and Vita only have Japanese. Sony doesn't mess with many visual novels which is why I only own a Switch OLED and laptop for all my games.

Actually great list TBH I agree with all 10

I hope one day we get some remakes for the following

The saboteur(with a proper remake and quality of life features this game could be great)
Scarface world is yours
Binary domain ( such a great game with great story)
GUN(this needs a remake)
Space marine 40k(such fun time)

Would also like to suggest adding the mercenary series even the 2nd game which is disliked by many is a fun time

cthulhucultist412d ago

I recently finished Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and found it to be very enjoyable.

The game respected the lore and the gameplay was quite decent.

The color palette was a bit underwhelming (backdrops and setting) and recycled but I think that it deserved better.

Here's hoping for an amazing sequel

Vengeance1138412d ago

Space Marine II !! My most anticipated game of 2023! Woot
