GOD EATER 3

The game is really short and barely has content compared to its predecessors, though having gone back to it recently after replaying the previous ones I do appreciate some stuff it has going for it. + Obviously it's easier on the eyes graphically, both character and aragami movements flow better than before. Funnily enough you can kinda see how stiff the old monster movements were when you fight them next to the new GE3 monsters. + The two new weapon types are pretty fun to use too, in addition to the old weapon types. + The addition of Diving to quickly navigate the map is a GODSEND. It feels like the natural next step for a fast-paced game like this. + I appreciate how they make the story more "dynamic" even though it's still confined to the usual hub-to-mission cycle. It does feel like an adventure at times with the moving base. The story is also quite the reboot so I guess it could serve as a good entry point to the series for those unfamiliar. - Really short campaign, I think even Resurrection had more than this? - This is more a complaint for the series overall, but the skills you find are mostly pretty useless. The general-use skills like Burst attack up or Stamina up is nice, of course. I'm talking about the weirdly specific stuff like entering full burst when a male teammate dies. Or the interesting stuff like getting a boost to your step move when your skill level reaches 5, but the skill level also caps at 5. Like what is the point? Never mind the amount of RNG slop you have to go through to actually get the decent skills... - Basically, don't expect MH-level of fun skillbuilding like adding iframes to your dodges, raising attack when you're inflicted with something, more crits, more attack against enraged monsters, etc. Just get the generic skills you need, the rest of the fun comes from the weapon types, BAs, ATs, and Engages. 7/10, it's a neat action game that probably won't hold up to other games of its kind nowadays, but the gameplay still feels snappy and the story setting interesting enough to keep you going. I'm personally enjoying it now that I'm replaying it after quite some time. Worth a try on a sale.
