I've been playing Devil May Cry 3 (again apparently, I had forgotten I have beaten this before). It's a very different experience for me for some reason. Bit of a grind, but I'm sticking with it.

Amazing how much God of War stole from DMC.

Astral Chain is at once the most Platinum game to date and also the studio's biggest departure yet; it's where the outlandish combat of Bayonetta is lavishly embellished before it rubs up against puzzle-solving, dungeon traversal and environmental interrogation. There's nothing quite like it, in either the studio's back catalogue or elsewhere, though you can draw a clear line between Astral Chain and Nier: Automata, another variety box that was shares the same director, Takahisa Taura. For my money, Astral Chain is a much more refined, focussed experience.


Astral Chain review - a Platinum-plated masterpiece

Destructoid: 9/10

Whatever criticism you can throw at Astral Chain, you can't say it isn't unique. In the first few hours, I was all over the place when it came to an assessment, as it can take some time to really turn it up. But when it does it just clicks, and I don't want to stop playing it.

COG connected: 91/100

Astral Chain is an excellent action game that uses the Switch’s unique hardware in creative ways. It fits handsomely in PlatinumGames’ excellent catalog and should satisfy anyone who likes Japanese action RPGs, or third-person action games. It is a wholly satisfying experience.

Game Informer: 9/10

Astral Chain is fun from start to finish, and gives the player plenty to chew on in terms of side missions and post-game content

GameSpot: 8/10

Nintendo Switch exclusive Astral Chain elevates the stylish action genre with an inventive, gratifying combat system and an unrelenting sense of style

Twinfinite: 4.5/5

Astral Chain could is one of the best games on Nintendo Switch, period. PlatinumGames has proved, once again, that no one does stylish action games better, and I sincerely hope we get to return to the Ark again someday.

USgamer: 4/5

Astral Chain is the directorial debut of Nier Automata designer Takahisa Taura, and it proves that he's a creator worth paying attention to. Part melodramatic anime, part overly complicated Tamagotchi, it's an eminently playable action role-playing game that delivers the pleasure of good teamwork in a way few singleplayer games accomplish. Building on action design ideas seeded in Nier, Astral Chain encourages you to bond with your beloved pet cybermonster both on and off the battlefield. Then, it teaches you how to fight as one.

TheSixthAxis: 8/10

Astral Chain boasts the same winning elements of Platinum's finest work – exhilarating combat, characterful visuals, and a compelling story – but it loses a bit of personality. Where Bayonetta and 2B provided an emotional centre point for the fantastical storytelling, Astral Chain's unnecessarily silent protagonist is a charmless creation saved by an utterly charming world.

IGN: 9/10

Astral Chain is every bit as awesome as it looks in motion, which is to say it's downright incredible.

EuroGamer: Essential

Sprawling, varied and constantly stylish, Astral Chain is a very different breed of action game that ranks with Platinum's best.

Awesome reviews for Astral Chain. I’ll definitely be picking it up a bit later on as there’s just so much else that I’ll be getting in the next month. September is jammed packed. Yikes.

Change scares me!!!!

It's actually long overdue. EPCOT is my favorite park but it's tough to argue that the city of tomorrow still has a strong 80's vibe to it.

I'll fight the urge to buy prety easily since I have not opened the two Mega Man collections I have already. But I like that Capcom is making them available as a collection.

We just got word from the daycare our youngest is attending during summer break that they have an outbreak of herpes.

...

It's a sad day when your son gets an STD before you do.
