Vanquish review (BeefJack.com)

BeefJack: "It’s so fast. It sounds simple, but it changes everything. Platinum have made an excellent shooter, then added a single feature that – even taking Vanquish’ flaws into account – still makes all other excellent shooters seem redundant on some level. Play anything else afterwards and you’ll be reaching for that left trigger, wondering why it’s not working."

Just finished this great game, rented it initially but bought it in the end, first game since Uncharted2 and GOW3 that made me replay it repeatedly.

AKS5307d ago

The replay value reminds me a lot of Mirror's Edge. I keep going back for more trying to cut a few seconds off of my time. It's weird, but Mirror's Edge and Vanquish appeal to the same part of my personality and tastes that lets me enjoy racing games like Gran Turismo.

People just playing to the end and quitting or using mostly slow paced duck and cover are missing out. There's an art to weaving through enemies and landing melee attacks. Vanquish is a really exciting and enjoyable game.

BTW, that junkpile thing freaked me out a bit, which seemed very odd for this type of game. You could see lots of Mikami's Resident Evil style in that nasty thing. I usually don't think of mechs as being creepy, but that thing definitely was.

MGRogue20175308d ago

It's an awesome game.. I'll buy it when it gets alot cheaper :)

Greek God5308d ago

if it gets down to 30Euros ill buy it

DigitalAnalog5308d ago (Edited 5308d ago )

I wasn't able to buy ANY game for the past 2 months. I really hope they're still selling it here by next month.

-End statement

Vanquish is without a doubt the best 3RD person shooter of the year I havnt had this much fun in one since uncharted 2 , not that they play in a similar manner mind u. Btw to all of the haters out there who said that this game is super easy if u just stick to cover , maybe its cause its not ment to be played as a cover shooter , I know that I for one get the most fun out of it when I'm zipping across the screen slowing time for kills or launching into an awesome melee attack ;p btw this actually my first post on n4g although I've actually followed the site for like a year now ;phope ur all having an awesome day ;p add me on psn neil21 ;D

darkstaff5308d ago

Ok let's just pretend I said something funny ,witty and charming and that u all totally love and adore me XD

Game-ur5308d ago

Hunting for Trophies is rely fun in this game, even if yor not going for platinum give it a try.

AKS5307d ago

I ignore most trophies and achievements (I'll usually just pick out a few that look interesting, such as the no weapons on hard trophies in Mirror's Edge), but I loved the way they were implemented in Vanquish.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder411d ago (Edited 411d 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.

FreeckyCake411d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX411d 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.

Friendlygamer411d ago

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

YourMommySpoils411d ago

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

Friendlygamer411d ago (Edited 411d 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 )

jznrpg411d 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_Suzumiya724d ago

Island, Steins;Gate Elite and Soma.

MadLad724d ago

Soma is an epic experience.

jznrpg724d ago (Edited 724d 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

shinoff2183724d ago (Edited 724d ago )

FRom what i could find. Nothing with English subs.

Yui_Suzumiya723d ago

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

Yui_Suzumiya723d ago (Edited 723d 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

cthulhucultist759d 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

Vengeance1138759d ago

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