Anima: Gate of Memories

Moderatly fun, good to spend a few hours and test some combos. Mostly for Anima fans

Good action and I like the plot elements that are very anime and PS2 style. But also what comes with that is pretty dated edgy/sexy/condesending humor. Which isn't really a bother even as a female gamer, but it is super annoying to me when the same smarmy character occasionally breaks into song. That, I don't think anyone enjoys O___O

One of the most boring, annoying and unimaginative games I've ever played. Very repetitive, unoriginal enemies, amazingly bad visual and sound effects. The character control is stiff and clunky. The music is good, somewhat. Only get it if it's free, otherwise it's not worth it.

Other than that really souring the mood, most of this game was pretty good. It looked really bad at first, but I stuck with it and it grew on me. But yeah, bosses have way too much health. Way too much. They should literally be cut by 50%. If there's a mod that does that then this might be worth playing. Otherwise, just watch a Let's Play of it.

I geuinely disliked this game past the first boss. I was having a decent time until the next area, then the third. Stun lock attacks, attacks that will multi-hit, drill your character, and run you off ledges, poor platforming sections, pretty useless dodge mechanic. The story - and prospect that you will only get the true ending through multiple playthroughs - just don't carry this one enough for me to want to finish it. I get it, you're trying to be Nier. You're not, moving on.
