Dan Stapleton from IGN says: "I have no idea who The Legend of Korra: The Game is for. It’s definitely not for young fans of Korra, as the combat is too unforgiving, the boss battles too tedious, the economy ridiculously punishing, and the story too weak and lacking any of the show’s charm. It’s not for older people who enjoy a good action game, because next to contemporaries like Batman: Arkham City, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor, and even Platinum’s own Bayonetta 2, Korra looks terrible with its simple two-button combos and poor combat scenario design. I can’t recommend it to anyone."
Carlos writes "There have been enough new releases these last few weeks to keep players occupied for a good old while. If you count backwards compatibility arrivals then we may just be spoilt for choice, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t keen to see what new deals will be arriving with the weekly Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale bargains.
Today brings a fresh new batch to choose from, but which discounts available between the 25th April and 1st May 2017 should you be looking to splash the cash on this week...and which should you be ignoring?"
Korra is worth a look at its current price, especially if you're a fan of the series
After the cancellation of Scalebound, Platinum Games seems doomed to collapse. But can they find retribution on the horizon?
Absolutely agreed even though I really like Platinum Games I always felt they were hit or miss don't get me wrong Bayonetta and Vanquish are amazing titles the same with wonderful 101 but anything other than that has always been very questionable by them and I believe they had a huge consistency problem.
I'm happy that Nier feels like one of those amazing top games by this team, but I also worry because to my understanding that games development was literally split from the team that was creating the specific story and RPG elements to platinumgames Joseph physically creating the gameplay so it definitely makes me wonder if their team is just drawn too thin.
Right now I'm literally questioning how Nier would have turned out if just Platinum Games was simply working on it and none of the staff from Square Enix
Maybe them simply focused on creating 1 aspect of that game is why it was able to turn out so well in terms of how it feels.
Even though it's pretty easy to blame Microsoft in regards to the cancellation of scalebound if you consider they could have simply put in another team to assist them through the development but at the end of the day they still also contracted this team to do something in the first place.
That's basically like getting mad at a team for struggling to build your kitchen yet paying more money to another team to help the other team to build your kitchen.
I mean the way I see it is Microsoft really shouldn't have to do that if they had a very clear and honest deal with Platinum Games for them to create something for them.
I worry about this company's future because of all the bad releases they've had in the past as of right now the last great game I even remember from this team is probably Bayonetta 2.
I think they need to work on less projects and focus on better and more quality products

'Doomed to collapse'.
Haha. Much drama... they expect people to read this s***?
True, Epic Games #EPICFAIL #UE4RETAREDSLOW #EPICCEOLOVESMOBILE. KH0.2 can't even run 1080p60 on PS4PRO.
Jamie from the Xbox Enthusiast Team Reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants In Manhattan for Xbox One.
I hate that this isn't the perfect 10 I wanted it to be, but I'm glad that there is still some positives worth mentioning. Great review Jamie.
It's far from a perfect 10. It's enjoyable if you're a fan of Ninja Turtles and Platinum games, but it definitely leaves something to be desired.
After Transformers: Devastation did a Transformers action game so well, giving transformations, combat, freedom, and a Transformers story and telling that felt straight from the old cartoons, it's disappointing that TMNT couldn't turn out to have the same magic. I was looking forward to this one considering it seemed like Platinum had the chops to do it some justice, but it looks like they couldn't quite figure out how to balance more allies consistently battling at the same time and the same level of exploration.
I feel like at this point, TMNT would be done more justice with a throwback 2D title like the SNES days. It's a series that just has had a hard time finding its way in the modern age of film and gaming.
I agree. I think this game would have worked much better as a 2-hour $20 downloadable game.
Not that it matters but why is this tagged for Wii U when it didn't (but should have) come out for it.
Sucks you didn't like it.
I'm going to get it, I'm a fan of the show. Glad to know the combat isn't easy like the games you've mentioned.
gamespot 3/10 destructiod 7/10 its just the reviewers preference :3
That's harsh and if you liked the series at all you would not have given it that rating.
wasn't this game praised for being good only recently? Im confused.
Edit: IGN politics? is the game on xbox as well? if not, then the score makes perfect sense.
This was expected. This game had an extremely small budget and spent less than a year in development. You can tell Activision rushed PG in order to get this out quick.
Sadly, this is the fate of many licensed games. I wish PG had more to work with.
I'll still buy it, though.
