Ross Hartley: "After games like Bayonetta and Vanquish, we have all been waiting to see what the folks at Platinum Games are going to give us next. Their games are usually fast, exciting and crazy; a combination for success if you ask me. Platinum Games' latest title, Anarchy Reigns, is a brawler that certainly has these elements and the core combat is well executed but the overall package surrounding the combat is extremely lacklustre. Even at an attractive budget price, Anarchy Reigns is still hard to recommend."
A recent wave of modern brawlers have exploded onto the scene, and it feels like they owe Anarchy Reigns some gratitude.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "With Astral Chain coming out right around the corner for the Nintendo Switch, I couldn’t help but think about all the amazing games PlatinumGames has pumped out over the years. Some revered greatly, others panned by critics, but to me insane infatuation. These are my five favorite games from my favorite developer"
After Xbox's announcement that there won't be any more backwards compatible games until the release of Project Scarlett, here's a reflection of what could, or perhaps should have been.
Not only would it have been great if Max Payne, Freedom Fighters, Nier, Blur and Lollipop Chainsaw got to become backwards compatible, it also would be great if those games got to have more games come out in their franchises.
Its not as backwards compatibity is dead its just been put on hold so all backwards compatibity game work on next xbox then when its released they will start up again, P.S I did finish Avatar: The Last Airbender – The Burning Earth
Might get the chance when Scarlett comes out. I mean for all games Xbox 360 and Original Xbox. I can dream it happening.
It's from Platinum Games so of course it's going to flop (much like Rising will).
