    Ya quisieran muchos de los AAA del mercado siquiera estar la mitad de cuidados que este título.
    Jugando al título enseguida se nos vendrán a la mente grandes sleepers de su generación, como fueron NieR o El Shaddai, sin duda grandes fuentes de inspiración que encajan perfectamente en el mundo de Anima.

    The game starts slow and then it pick up the pace a bit.

    Pros: +Story keeps you going (even though can be predictable sometimes) and having short stories is fun. +Combat is fun and do it nicely (Not DMC but isn't boring). +Exploration in game also it explores the lore more. +Most areas are unique. +Most bosses are fun to fight against and has unique theme. +Puzzles (nothing fancy    The game starts slow and then it pick up the pace a bit.

    Pros:
    +Story keeps you going (even though can be predictable sometimes) and having short stories is fun.
    +Combat is fun and do it nicely (Not DMC but isn't boring).
    +Exploration in game also it explores the lore more.
    +Most areas are unique.
    +Most bosses are fun to fight against and has unique theme.
    +Puzzles (nothing fancy but they are not boring either).
    Cons:
    -Some areas feels empty.
    -Sometimes while trying to do some platform stuff, you hope that the camera could be better.

    So, overall good game; If you want to explore while getting into lore with some combat here and there. This game is a nice pick.    … Expand

    The game art style is unique and the story is intriguing. The characters are charimsatics and well portrayed. The gameplay has flaws but its a very enjoyable game.

    It was a refreshing and incredible adventure, the best indie game I have played in a lot of time. 5 finals, a lot of secrets, incredible ost, playability...

    It is not awful, but there is better hack n slash and action-adventure games to play. Reminds me a lot of Forspoken.

    Мир красивый, боёвка вполне на уровне.. но история и перекосы это что-то. То босс попадается которого 40 попыток надо чтоб убить, то паркур какой-нибудь по 3 дня не пройти.. Подача сюжета и истории как-то слабо сделано, не сильно цепляют. Плюс мир построен так, что приходится долго искать проходы .

    Mostly great bosses and some nice narrative flourishes do a lot to make up for the fairly repetitive combat and generic story. [Issue#253, p.63]

    Designed as a Devil May Cry clone but based on a card game, Anima barely balances on its playability, with constant problems with the camera and more than wonky platforming sections. Terribly dated graphics are just a final nail in this mediocre coffin.

    Anima: Gate of Memories is a game filled with potential that it generally fails to execute.
