Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

Slant Bot
Top Pro

Impressive, flowing combat system 

•••
The game has a visceral, impactful free-flow fighting system that emphasizes counter-attacks, dodges and stringing combos with a variety of weapons and moves.

Top Pro

Grand boss fights 

•••
The game has interesting, multi-part boss battles. A lot of character to the fights is added by the impressive, grotesque boss monster designs.
Slant Bot
Top Con

Stealth sections feel out of place 

•••
The game has stealth sections that involve turning into a rat and getting from one place to another while avoiding detection, but the stealth gameplay is very barebones and feels very out of place in a Castlevania game.
Slant Bot
Top Con

A departure from Castlevania series in key areas 

•••
Some aspects of the game are considerably different from the previous Shadow game. For example, combat is a lot more God of War than Castlevania and boss fights are a lot more Shadow of Colossus than Castlevania.

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition

Slant Bot
Top Pro

Hardcore difficulty mode

•••
New to the series is a hardcore difficulty mode that is meant for only the most extreme players. This adds a level of difficulty to the game for those that are interested.
Slant Bot
Top Pro

New character with new gameplay mechanics

•••
DMC 3 focuses on a new character, Dante's brother Vergil. Vergil offers a whole new moveset when compared to previous games, which makes the gameplay fresh for those that are familiar with the series.
Slant Bot
Top Con

Practically impossible to play with mouse and keyboard

•••
A keyboard binding exists, but it is impossibly complicated for anyone to use.
Slant Bot
Top Con

Terrible controller support

•••
The default controls for the game with a controller do not work that well and will most likely require a third party fix.
Slant Bot
Top Con

Lacks widescreen support

•••
The game only plays in 4:3, there is no widescreen support.

Dragon Ball FighterZ

Top Pro

Characters work well together in combat and in cutscenes

•••
The three-on-three battles have you play one character at a time, with the ability to switch in another team member with the press of a button, or bring one in to combo your special attack with their flashy meteor attack. Characters typically work well together for these Ultimate Z Change combos, a...

Combat is easy to learn and difficult to master

•••
The control scheme among combatants is universal enough to work well for players who are new to the fighting genre, while veterans have access to more specialized combos and timings to perfect with individual fighters. Beginners can get away with starting off with auto-combos by pressing the face b...

The game looks just like the anime

•••
Character models are recreated faithfully from the show, their expressions and animations all unique and reminiscent of their hand-drawn anime versions. They also have their arsenal of super dashes that surrounds their fighter with their ki aura as they zip forward, the dragon rush that throws out...

Healthy roster of characters

•••
With classic characters like Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Frieza, Captain Ginyu, Cell, and several more, as well as a new addition with Android 21, fans of the series will find at least a few of their favorites to play with. More powerful characters are unlockable through completing the story and arcade mo...

No honor in online matches

•••
This is more of an issue among the playerbase than in the game itself, but don't be surprised if you're about to win a ranked World match and your opponent suddenly "disconnects". When that happens, you will also lose connection to your lobby, forcing you to connect to another on...
Yoshiyuki
Top Con

Story mode is padded and repetitive

•••
The three arcs in FighterZ's story mode feature campaigns from three different points of view: Goku and his allies, Frieza and the Ginyu Force, and the Androids and their struggles, but the story can be distilled down to the player "linking" with the fighters as well as battling endle...

Top Con

Online lobbies are a mess

•••
Unfortunately, the game automatically forces the player to connect to a lobby right from the start. This can sometimes take a while if lobbies are full, or if the connection drops for whatever reason. Sometimes, even after successfully entering a lobby, there will be frustrating disconnects, forci...

Gore galore

Hideo Kojima's touch is present

•••
The humor of the game is perfectly fit to it's ridiculousness.

Top Pro

It is a great standalone title

•••
While bearing the name Metal Gear, the game itself is a completely different experience in a positive way!

Top Con

It can get really ridiculous at times

•••
It definitely is a more humorous title, so if you want something that takes itself seriously then better choose a different game.
