Strider review - XB1

Games like Strider live or die by their pacing; sadly Double Helix has struggled to find an appropriate balance between style and substance.

Yahdaree3719d ago

This game is not a 5! It's no 10 but it's definitely fun, I would give it between 7.5 and 8.

GusBricker3719d ago (Edited 3719d ago )

Did you play and like Shadow Complex? If so, yes.

SteamPowered3719d ago

@Gus,
Yes I did. I really enjoyed Shadow Complex actually. Thanks for the analogy. Makes it an easy sale.

RiPPn3719d ago (Edited 3719d ago )

So is it metroidvania like Shadow Complex also? If so I godda buy this on PS4!

GusBricker3719d ago

No problem.

Different kind of combat, but the same type of platforming and exploring, etc.

So everywhere else gives this a 8/10, 9/10 but for XB1 it's a 5/10 ?

5/10 = crap game that is broken and doesn't work.

Necro_5593719d ago

This game is a 8/10. No 5/10, thats bullshit. This is one of the most fun games i have played in awhile, including Resogun.

Retroman3719d ago

agree necro

STRIDER AN RESOGUN fun games.

HaVoK3083719d ago

Strider is an Excellent game. I'm loving it.

Never heard of this outlet before. Looks like someone is just trolling. Probably linked by the guy that actually wrote the review. Which should be against N4G policy. Should be, that is, in my opinion.

Jsoc3719d ago

Agree this game is not a 5.... I'm having fun with it I give it a 7.5 or 8...

Dante's inferno... an excellent GoW inspired game. So sad the sequels will never be.

LoveSpuds553d ago (Edited 553d ago )

I recall enjoying it well enough at the time, but it wasn't a patch on God of War 3 which came out around the same time I think.

I own it and fired it up on my PS3 about 6 months ago and time hadn't been particularly kind to it although it still very much nailed the atmosphere and it is a cool as he'll setting and universe.

Inverno553d ago

Dante's Inferno needs the GOW treatment. No cut camera, with a real hellish depiction of the 9 circles and a story as dark and as serious would be amazing.

Yui_Suzumiya552d ago

Still pretty amazing there was a PSP version that was actually pretty good. I remember playing it 10 years ago. I had the PS3 version when it first came out and loved it.

Hellcat2020552d ago

Ahh the memories of playing Heavenly Sword
Such a amazing experience

LoveSpuds552d ago

Yup, I remember being blown away with Heavenly Sword. I remember holding out hope that they would go back and add trophy support as a incentive to go back and replay the game, but I don't think they ever did?

Yui_Suzumiya552d ago

I couldn't beat the final boss though! Spent several days trying but eventually gave up, lol. Still enjoyed it though.

refocusedman552d ago

heavenly sword was such a short, but amazing game. that game should be prime material to be made into a download only remaster.

YoungKingDoran552d ago

I really enjoyed Castlevania, but struggled to get into it again reattempting it a few years back. I still think it does another of things well; story, presentation, level varietily and art style at least. Gameplay maybe has not stood test of time unfortunately which makes it a chore to get through.

Love the newest Strider! Definitely underrated.

Love these lists as i now want to check out Momodora (on PS extra) and Ender Lillies.

INMATEofARKHAM581d ago

It's a very solid list and the best part is that I think all of them are on other platforms so more people can play them.
