    This game is awesome, I don't get why some people are saying it is bad. You wont find a game like this, ever! I give a 9 because it is really short, but the gameplay is unique. Some people don't like Raiden, but I don't find it important. I liked metal gear II with Raiden´s episode too. If you played Metal Gear 4 and thought: "I want to play like Raiden", then this is that game. IncredibleThis game is awesome, I don't get why some people are saying it is bad.

    I had never heard of Platinum Games before this game was changed from MGS Rising into MGR Revengeance. I was so sad that MGS Rising got **** because it looked so cool.

Thankfully Revengeance turned out to be an awesome game in its own right. Platinum payed a tribute to MGS with how faithful this game was to the style and feel of MGS and threw in a little (a lot actually) of their own over-the-top flair. I wondered going into the game who the boss could possibly be and how could he possibly be stronger than 4 super cool evil cyborg ninjas? How? NANOMACHINES SON! Sorry I had to say it. Anyway this game also had really great music that fit the game perfectly, and Raiden's transformation from whiny self-pitying loser in MGS4 who seriously says "it even rained on the day I was born" LOL (I still liked MGS4 Raiden) into a psycho cyborg killing obsessed maniac is great. I only hope that Raiden returns one day to slay new hopefully even cooler evil cyborgs and nanomachined up war mongers. Expand

    While short, this game accomplishes everything it seeks to do, and perfects it. Flawless gameplay, unique and fitting soundtrack, and a wacky yet interesting story make MGR a great grab for anyone looking for a short, but satisfying experience of cutting everything up.

It's also one of the few games in which you're able to CUT YOUR WAY THROUGH-OUT the playable areas and not looking for a path to go wherever you wanna go. The only boring mission the game (in my opinion) is when you face the Metal Gear EXCELSUS (mission before the final boss). Another "negative" are the long cinematics (but you have to see them if you wanna understand the story) but you can just skip them and kick some cyborg ass !!! Last of all I'd like the gameplay to be longer because it's realy awsome but the plot is complete and you gonna enjoy it realy much. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came here to slap those negative reviews "not agile character" well yeah,he isn't agile but if you are like at stage 2 of the game,he will be..don't judge the game on the prologue and write a review here oh God that review is so hilarious for it's lack of logic.Anyway,here are the ACTUAL points of the game,and not those negative reviewers telling the game is bad without pin-pointing why is it...in short,useless statements without substance.

    Pros:
    -Good action,frantic,engaging.
    -Boss fights are like you've never seen before,comparable,or even greater for some,to many famous hack and slash titles
    -Bosses are fun to fight,fun to listen to,and are poetic.
    -Bosses have personalities,substance,character build-up,so fighting them feels a lot more better due to that build-up.
    -Enemies are cut where you cut them,not just random generated gore,where your blade lands,your cut appears...even when not in blade mode,or even more so with the fox blade.
    -Optimization is good,anyone saying the PC port isn't optimized is totally fooling you around,with all the details,enemies,objects,can even be cut to hundred pieces or more with you god damned HF Blade,that's a lot of optimization right here.And when I say everything,I mean everything,from ceiling,windows,chairs,tables,anything your blade touches except well,walls of course,because that'd be an open world game if that happened.
    -Raiden's in it.
    -Because ninja.
    -Fun,no seriously if you master the combos and can combo while dodging or parrying it's so fun and engaging,especially the block mechanic..though I know why some people get put off by it,because it has a high skill-ceiling to even block something..you can block a hundred missiles coming at you in a span of 3 seconds if you can press a hundred times in that 3 seconds...especially with the battle with Monsoon blocking and dodging takes a lot of skill,not for CASUALS.
    -Casuals might have a hard time especially if their reflexes or timing is crap even at medium difficulty,and nigh impossible at hard for someone who doesn't have good reflex or timing.

    Cons:
    -Not for casuals.
    -Not a stealth based game,though there are some stealth levels.
    -So many people **** how hard it is,when it isn't.It's just they haven't put much time into the learning curve.
    -If you don't have a good imagination,you might find it absurd(the story and ways of executing it).So not for someone too grounded in the real world,go play something else like real life simulator or something if a game which isn't all too real bothers you.

    The only thing why I'm not giving it a 10 is the consideration for those who have sentiments on a pure stealth metal gear game.Other than that I would've gave it a 10.Also,the price...the price isn't just right,it's like you just ripped off Konami,a game like this should've been 60-100 bucks for a master hack and slasher.

    GOOD DAY.

    It's a little sad that there are a few minor flaws but there all pretty much nonexisting due to just how fun the game is. Since the price has considerable dropped from last year, you must get this game, right now. Its fun, challenging, fun to replay, and is down to its core epic.

Эта игра с одной из самых лучших и драйвовых саундтреков боссфайтов, если не самая лучшая. Серьезно, в течении полугода я почти каждый день запускал боссфайты, чтобы послушать великолепный саундтрек этой игры. Чего только стоит вокал в конце битвы с боссом. Все тело на драйве и каждая клетка твоего тела отзывается на эту музыку. В то время как в том же DMC5 запоминается только 2 саундтрека: главная тема девил тригера и музыкальная тема Вергилия. Из боссфайтов запоминается только сам Вергилий в конце игры. Я не хейтер DMC5 и игра более чем достойная, а боевка, графика и анимации на голову выше чем в MGRR. Тем не менее DMC5 не запоминается и не откладывается в твоем сердце так как это делает MGGR. Expand

    A medida vas jugando te das cuenta de que muchos fallos estaban apropósito, NO ESTAMOS HABLANDO DE UN JUEGO FÁCIL.

    Este juego es dificil de comprender y de jugar, por lo que solo y únicamente una vez que logras comprenderlo (a mi me tomó 6 horas) recién ahí comienzas a aprender a jugar y a mejorar. Primero te parecerá una jugabilidad patética y estúpida, exagerada... Una vez comprendas el por que de todo, te darás cuenta de todo lo que hacias mal (como me pasó a mi, que incluso a inicio en steam le puse "no recomendado" y ahora hace poco modifiqué mi comentario y puse "Recomendado").

    Estamos ante un gran juego con 1 SOLO FALLO IRREFUTABLE... Y este fallo es la cámara. Dios... La cámara de mierda aveces se va para donde quiere y otras tantas no mueve cuando se lo indica con el movimiento de cámara. Este error me ha hecho morir varias veces, pero por suerte no es tan recurrente... He muerto más por fallos de mi habilidad que por la cámara.

    Recomiendo este juego!. No es perfecto, es dificil comprenderlo y aprender a jugarlo... Pero una vez que lo consigues, te das cuenta de lo espectacular que es en su jugabilidad.

    What I liked
    The gameplay - if you played any Platinum game you know what I'm talking about. Its fast,
    responsive and just fun overall OST - The OST is pretty damn good, one of the best I've ever listened to in a game Story - Its.. well dumb, but in a good way. I liked it Bossfights - Bossfights are very well done, I've enjoyed every one of them The DLCs - There were 2 free DLCs

    Bossfights - Bossfights are very well done, I've enjoyed every one of them
    The DLCs - There were 2 free DLCs where you play as different characters, its short but they
    are free, so no problem with that
    The meme material - NANOMACHINES, SON

    What I didn't like
    The camera - It's fixed to your back, so when you try to look up it's quite difficult to do so.
    The lock-on system - It doesn't work well, it moves your camera to weird angles where it's hard
    to see the enemy.

    Bugs - I've encountered one. In a boss fight, you have to cut through stuff the boss throws at
    you 4 times in a row. On the last one, Raiden turned his back on the boss making it
    hard to cut through it.

    9/10 - Give me a sequel or atleast a remaster god damnit

    Actually, one of the best game i have ever played. Almost all game design elements strive for perfectness. Characters, soundtracks, fightings, weapons, level design. But there is a small porblem - parrying. Its quite difficult to understand at first time how to do such stuff, but when you have realized how to implement it, it will be an easy and satisfying game for you.

    The only good not-kojima's Metal Gear game. An excellent slasher with unique ingame physics approach. This part absolutely fits in the canon of the series (no matter what fans say) and brings some new depth and colors to it. Boss fights, music, dialogs,characters — everything was made with soul.

    Прекрасный слэшер! Реально! Правда, есть несколько минусов, и самый значительный недостаток игры - стелс. Он максимально отвратный и уровень в канализации это подтверждает. И боёвка мне не очень понравилась. Она слишком простая, а именно: поворачиваешься к врагу, нажимаешь дохрена раз на "W + LBM" и всё. Механика "Зандацу" это дело разбавляет но всё же... игра не тянет на 10 балов, хотя во время игры, нарезая всех под эту прекрасную музыку, ты всерьёз сомневаешься в этом суждении.

I’ll do my little nitpicks here: the Jetstream Sam DLC feels a bit rushed to me, the stealth could use a bit of work as well (or they could just remove it), and the D-pad menu could be a bit better. My solution to these issues is use the d-pad for certain menu sections, (up D-pad you use for a support items section, right for Alt weapons, and left for main weapons. You use a joystick to navigate it, and press a button to select it and another to use it.) Stealth is mostly optional, so it’s a bit restricted because of that. The Jetstream Sam DLC is a bit rushed, but you get it for free for the pc port and it’s still good fun. The camera might not be the best, but I don’t think it’s a huge issue, just a smaller one. While I think that wall running would be a fun move; as it was used in demos for the game, what’s there is pretty good. The overall movement feels fine, combat is fun, and it contains my favorite parrying in games, despite it being a bit weird at first. This game might not have the best graphics, but they are still pretty good, which I kinda don’t care about. However, the OST… The OST can be described by one word: phenomenal. Especially the vocal tracks. The only level I thought was the weakest was well… the tutorial. That is because you are forced to play it the same way it was, you don’t get all of the mechanics there, and it’s weakest in terms of the design— it’s a pretty good way to introduce somebody to this game, but replaying it might be a bit limiting. Despite this, all the bosses are top notch. They are some of my favorite bosses in video games. The final one is a really good final boss, as it tests your skills you’ve acquired throughout the game. Plus, it is replayable as well! Which is a plus. The game has a story full of memes, which is a good thing, however: this does have messages about politics. If you use the actual definition of “memes”, then it’s a huge eye opener. This game is fast paced too, as you are mostly in a lot of combat and running. You can skip the slower bits of the game, mostly. This game is overall good fun. I’m a newbie to Metal Gear games, as this is my first one; however it does make me want to play the other ones too. Considering the fact that this is a spin-off too makes it even more impressive. Expand

    i love this game and this review may be a bit biased due to that, the game is very flawed, the camera is usually your worst enemy and some mechanics are a bit frustrating in the worst way possible, this game trying to take it's story seriously is usually just comical and makes the game extremely memable, i think that the difficulties are fairly lacking, i wish REVENGEANCE difficulty wouldi love this game and this review may be a bit biased due to that, the game is very flawed, the camera is usually your worst enemy and some mechanics are a bit frustrating in the worst way possible, this game trying to take it's story seriously is usually just comical and makes the game extremely memable, i think that the difficulties are fairly lacking, i wish REVENGEANCE difficulty would be extremely difficult but it just makes the npc extremely strong but doesn't change bosses otherwise, overlooking that the voice acting is over exaggerated in the best way possible and every character has so much soul, it unintentionally makes the enemies 10 times more likeable than the main character, the PC version is the best way to play this game due to the 360 and ps3 not handling the game the best and also some new features in the PC version. the soundtrack is 10/10 and gives the game much more character, the gameplay is a bit frustrating but most of the bosses have very good gameplay, after about 100 hours of gameplay mastering the swordplay is extremely satisfying and i feel like this game has a lot replay value. although very flawed, i cannot stop loving this game Expand

A bit short (~7 hours), and there's not a lot of room for character personalization. Raiden only has two weapons with full sets of combos, and another two that only have a couple of 1-hit attacks that are not particularly useful. The camera is also a bit annoying and difficult to control, which is desperate in an action game, and the "katana mode" is impossible to perform with a keyboard and a mouse. The "normal" difficulty level is ridiculously easy, with the "hard" level being a bit more of a challenge. The "very hard" mode unlocked when finishing the first playtrough, is the one I really enjoyed. Still with all those errors, the sense of playing like a samurai is very well captured.

    About the graphics and music, I only have to say that they aren't particularly bright. The story is OK, and the ending does not disappoint, but Raiden is not very well written, and you will find him going from being too superficial, to pedantically deep and very overacted. Other characters of the story, like Sam Rodrigues, are much better handled.

    This is a good buy if it is at a reduced price.

    I have never played a Metal Gear game in my life until now but I heard good things about this game from my friend who had played it so I decided to pick it up and after playing through it I feel that I have formulated a sound opinion. Let me just start by saying that the game is incredibly gory so if that's a deal breaker for you then don't bother. However if you can get past the violenceI have never played a Metal Gear game in my life until now but I heard good things about this game from my friend who had played it so I decided to pick it up and after playing through it I feel that I have formulated a sound opinion. Let me just start by saying that the game is incredibly gory so if that's a deal breaker for you then don't bother. However if you can get past the violence than this can be a fun game for you. Graphically it's amazing the characters are all rendered well, the environments all look nice, and there is so much chaos and destruction that there will be bits and pieces of just about everything from enemies, to missiles, to vehicle parts flying all over the place. The game play has some issues though, to me the game felt like a beat 'em up so while chopping enemies to bits is fun it can get a little repetitive. There are some stealth elements to mix things up a bit, but there are several sections where I feel it's impossible to get through without being detected on your first try. There's a very strict learning curve throughout this game, you will have to think on the spot and master skills as quickly as you possibly can and there is little room for error. While this offers some challenge, I can safely say that this game is not nice to beginners. Not to mention the difficulty is all over the place I was killed three times by one by only to defeat the boss that came after it in one try. The soundtrack is full of kick ass hard rock and it greatly compliments all the action on screen, especially when fighting a boss. Finally, I like is the story, amidst all the hacking and slashing, there is a story that brings up many different perspectives on war philosophy and ethics in this case it's mainly centered around the subject of child soldiers. It's something that really makes you think long after you put down your controller. I like it when games do this because I think it really enhances your experience, it makes you feel like your actions have weight behind them. Just to clarify, I think this is a good game and if you want to buy it for yourself then go ahead, just be prepared for what lies ahead of you when you do. Expand

    CONS: Frame-rate limit drops by 1 fps every hour or so, until a full restart (e.g. 3 hours of play = 57 fps limit). Game

    CONS: Frame-rate limit drops by 1 fps every hour or so, until a full restart (e.g. 3 hours of play = 57 fps limit). Game ignores my chosen refresh rate (60hz) and instead uses my highest (75hz), resulting in consistent jitters (fixed via 3rd party app that forces 60hz). Mouse pointer comes in during random cutscenes. Crashed once (hardly worth mentioning). Crappy keyboard + mouse support (not really a con for me). No support above 1080p (also not my con. I use 720p).

    Conclusion: It's a lot of fun and not a terrible port, optimized for the most part. I think I paid $15... no regrets. I don't get why anyone would need over 1080p. It's not like the textures will look any better on 1440p, 4K or whatever. The graphics aren't ground-breaking, and still wouldn't be if you managed to take a time-machine to 4 years ago and showed it to everyone in 2010, but that's totally okay.

Uma boa variedade de ataques e combos. Os combates são muito bons, com uma variedade boa de inimigos com táticas diferentes para derrotar cada um.

    Os gráficos do jogo são bons, ainda mais se levado em consideração que o jogo foi feito para console e daí lançado no PC (geralmente quando isso ocorre os gráficos não ficam bons no PC). No meu caso não houve quedas bruscas de FPS, rodando a 60 FPS na resolução em Full HD (1080p) e com a configuração no máximo. Os filtros presentes no jogo são bons, com um bom antialising, a filtragem de textura deixa o jogo ainda mais bonito e com boas sombras durante o jogo.

    A história do jogo também é interessante, confesso que não muito empolgante, mas inda sim boa. A história ocorre de forma linear, e à medida que avançamos na histórias novos elementos vão aparecendo explicando um pouco das coisas.

    No entanto o jogo não é tudo maravilha, e umas das coisas que mais atrapalha são os combates, na verdade a frequência dos combates, que chega a enjoar um pouco.

    Por fim, levando em consideração o preço do jogo, é um ótimo custo benefício. Vale a pena ter esse jogo e recomendo ele para os usuários de PC.

    This is a big event for PC since both Konami and Platinum have never released a PC port to any of their games so far. Of course, since they design console games, playing this game with a controller is a must to get the full experience the developers wanted us to have. But it is still amazing that we can have this console experience without having to buy a console. If less people complainThis is a big event for PC since both Konami and Platinum have never released a PC port to any of their games so far. Of course, since they design console games, playing this game with a controller is a must to get the full experience the developers wanted us to have. But it is still amazing that we can have this console experience without having to buy a console. If less people complain and see how awesome this is, then we could get more PC ports in the future, like Metal Gear Solid V.

    Anyways, about the game itself, the combat is great. My favourite aspect is the balance of making you feel challeneged while also making you feel powerful. I would compare this a lot to the Batman games where you are given a set of basic maneuvers (more unlock with XP) which the player learns to master as the game continues while always upping the challenge. Replaying earlier levels after finishing the game makes you feel unstoppable. You never feel frustrated (aside from maybe the final boss battle) since you know you have the tools to defeat whatever obstacle comes your way.

    The combat is fluid, fast, smooth and tight. I have never experienced anything like this on PC and I really hope this is the start to more console exclusives coming our way. The pacing is also great. Everytime you feel actions are repetitive, a new enemy typ comes along, or better yet, you are treated to a boss fight. And these are METAL GEAR Boss Fights, so get ready for some epic stuff. The bosses remind me a bit of the ones in MGS 3 where they all have a particular ability and are a clan with a past that is never fully adressed, standing in your way one by one to stop you.

    Another aspect I like is that the game still retains it's Metal Gear charms, like the sound the codec makes, the radar and the alert system which functions like the other metal gear games, giving you the option to be stealthy on several occasions. You probably wont be becuase this is an action game where any enemy presented to you can be stopped (though you are told to run and avoid enemies a few times) but if you so choose to, you can play this game in stealth. Awesome stealth kill options are given to you too and I would recomend trying this style a few times just for fun and to see the extra work that was put into the game.

    For the cons, the camera does get in the way on several occasions. The story and how it relates to the metal gear lore is not great either. Also, there seem to be a few glitches here and there and the prompts during the final boss fight are downright unfair (unless it's another bug).

    In conclusion, this is a great achievement for PC gaming, making the gap between the console experience that much smaller. As long as you accept the fact that this was a console game and thus requires a controller, you will have a bunch of fun. Easily the best hack and slash action game on PC.

    - Мобы. Мобы-люди откровенно хуже рядовых мобов из Dmc, их мало и убиваются они слишком быстро, в таком случае я не успевал войти в раж, как это происходит со мной в серии Devil may cry например. где сложность и количество мобов к слову всегда поддерживается на таком уровне, что ты просто входишь в этот адреналиновый коридор, и забываешь про всё на свете. Здесь этого нет, более того, иногда даже приходилось скучать, и фишка с шинковкой врагов на фарш хоть и крута, но не спасает положение. Также есть мобы-роботы, с ними ситуация получше, но опять же, баланс плох, либо их мало, и интереса в боях с ними никакого нет, либо слишком много, что принуждает к стелсу, так как открытое противостояние равносильно смерти.

    Боссы. По этому пункту опять же Dmc предпочтительнее, там их больше, и что самое главное бои с ними интереснее. В метал гир райзинг действительно круты только Monsoon, который заставил попотеть и потраить, и финальный файт. Остальные боссы мало того, что лёгкие, так и ничего интересного в плане механик в боях с ними и стадий, то есть изменений их состояний по ходу боя, больше не было. И это очень мало, для слэшера с такой продолжительностью.

    - Сюжет. Этот компонент конечно в слэшерах не главное, но в данном случае он не затянул ни на минуту. Это банальная история про амбициозных людей, стемящихся к власти и я был бы только рад, если бы диалогов и кат-сцен было меньше. Их количество превышало все разумные нормы для данного жанра и здорово портило динамику. Но раз кодзима учавствовал в разработке, то по другому наверно быть и не могло.

    - Дизайн локаций, графика. Здесь всё очень плохо, по графике это как-будто 2009 год. По дизайну локаций, сплошная серость и одинаковые улочки, закончил игру буквально час назад, а памяти даже зацепиться не за что, когда речь идёт о интересных локациях и красивых визуальных решениях.

    - Механика боёв, их зрелищность. Здесь игра выступает достойно, есть различные комбо, есть интересная механика, базирующаяся на травмировании тел врагов и последующей расчленёнке.

    Итог: METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE - крутой слэшер с потрясающей механикой боёв, которому не хватает интенсивности геймплея и красоты, а также разнообразия локаций. То есть, это такой F.E.A.R. от мира слэшеров, тому тоже не хватало интенсивности экшна, из-за регулярных хоррор-эпизодов, и интересных решений в гейм-дизайне - вся игра была сплошным серым коридором. В основе этих двух игр заложена потрясающая механика, которая страдает от неудачных решений гейм-дизайна. Хотел поставить 7, но финальный босс файт дал жару, поэтому...

    Boss fights are awesome especially with the music blasting your ear drums! Combat is satisfying and fun! Only problem I have with MGR is that it's too short. But there are 60 achievements so I would recommend everyone unlocking those (I have already 65 % of them) I recommend!

И я вам советую, просто открыть ютуб, поставить его на паузу, и чисто в паузе одним глазком запомнить как выглядит ласт фаза. Если у вас там неожиданно не будет хотя бы 5 хилок, то вы рискуете просто никогда не закончить эту игру или вы сломаете джойстик, или джойстик сломает вас. А пекарям на клаве я вообще хз что делать.

    Но вы просто обязаны попробовать этот слешер=) Он необычный и своим управлением он заставит вас вспомнить, как это изучать игры с нуля.

    Awesome combat, fun story, fine enemy designs, okayish visuals, mostly forgettable sound and level design. It's a game that does what it focuses on extremely well, but lacks in more in-between aspects that could have glued the whole thing into a perfect experience.

    I remember playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance when I was younger but I wasn't good at it and I couldn't play it properly.
    Few years later, after hearing about all the ridiculous memes on the internet, I was interested in giving it another try, however, I felt like the game lived off from its memes and not because it's actually a good game.
    After playing it though, I can definitely say

    After playing it though, I can definitely say that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a really enjoyable Hack 'n' Slash game! The camera is awkward at times but the combat system is very fun and it has some cool mechanics.
    The highlight of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance isn't the gameplay though, it's the bosses; they're just epic!
    Also, the music is awesome and the visuals hold up well, even though the environments look uninteresting for the most part.
    Unfortunately, the narrative is not on par with the rest of the game in my opinion. Thankfully, the characters are likable and the dialogue is funny at times, but the story is quite bad overall and very short; it could've been longer.

    Pros:
    + Great gameplay
    + Interesting mechanics
    + Amazing bosses
    + Fantastic music
    + Charming characters

    Cons:
    - Camera issues
    - Bland environments
    - Weak & short story

    Narrative: 3/10
    Gameplay: 8/10
    Characters: 6/10
    Music: 9/10
    Graphics/Audio: 6/10

    Final Rating: 8/10
    - Great -
    Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a very enjoyable Hack 'n' Slash game that aged well.

    Do I recommend it?:
    It's worth playing this game solely for the memes but I'd recommend it mostly to fans of the genre because the narrative is lacking.

    Начнем с геймплея(проходил на среднем)
    Metal Gear Rising это такой добротный слэшер. От самого начала и до конца он держит тебя в тонусе, лично я не заметил мест где геймплей бы проседал или был душным. Ты можешь расслабленно играть 50% всех глав.Оставшиеся 50% это боссы. Все они в своей степени сложные. У них разные атаки и особенности.У одного это надоедливые роботы которые мешают тебе

Ты можешь расслабленно играть 50% всех глав.Оставшиеся 50% это боссы. Все они в своей степени сложные. У них разные атаки и особенности.У одного это надоедливые роботы которые мешают тебе двигаться у другого взрывной щит. Из за чего тактика боя тоже разная. Иногда приходится прям сильно попотеть. Благо разработчики расставили чекпоинты в правильных местах. Почти убил очень сложного босса и тебе осталось QTE чтобы его добить? Держи чекпоинт перед QTE. Но так не на каждом боссе. Где то нужно потратить больше или меньше времени. Бой со всеми боссами очень приятно ощущается и некоторые из них можно сравнить с прекрасным парным танцем. Что по поводу оружия? Его здесь не так много(пара самурайских мечей и 3 дополнительных). В основе лежит простая механика боя завязанная на слабых и сильных атаках а также выставлении блока на вражеские атаки. Есть множество комбинаций и игрок может изучать новые. Есть специальный режим когда ты можешь порезать врага на огромное количество мелких кусочков. Так же есть возможность прокачивать и изменять снаряжение. Это все оплачивается за отдельные поинты которые ты получаешь в битвах. И я считаю что этого достаточно для этой игры. Это не слишком напрягает и ты просто качаешь то что видишь особо не думая.
    Единственно в чем проседает эта игра так это в гейм дизайне уровней. Все уровни коридорные и особо ничем не заполнены. И не дают должной свободы передвижения из-за чего очень плохо работает стелс.
    Графика не берет звезд с небес. Может для ПС3 И коробки 360 она и норм. Но в наше время выглядит немного плоско. Но на нее ты будешь обращать меньше всего внимания во время битв. Единственное но так это то что в катсценах разрешение маленькое.(720p мб)
    Если коротко то графика удовлетворила меня.
    Теперь про аудио составляющую.
    Музыка она подобрана просто изумительно. У каждого босса своя песня которая очень хорошо подстраивается под происходящее в бою.Не уровень The Shaadow of Colossus, но она так же держит тебя в тонусе и морально помогает тебе в сражении.
    Озвучка тоже шикарна.Каждый персонаж озвучен отлично и имеет харизму. Особенно смешит когда американский персонаж специально говорит на великом русском с акцентом. В такие моменты у меня появлялась неподдельная улыбка.

    Сюжет.
    Начну с того что каждый персонаж очень хорошо запоминается и врезается в память. Сюжет написан хорошо и дает пищу для размышлений во время игры. Но это не делает его менее интересным. Ты пропитываешься симпатией к врагам и понимаешь их мотивацию. Это по настоящему взрослый сюжет на 10 часов.

But then there's the one thing this game has that no other (that I've played) has. The memes. Now, of course, there are other games that have memes, or references to internet culture in general, in them. There are games that have memes about them. But no other does this quite as well as Revengeance. In game, dialogue is downright insane because of how over the top it is, and makes meeting new bosses exciting just because of the insane exchanges. There's like, 10-15 minutes of basically straight cutscenes right before the final boss, and yet I didn't feel like it drag on a second simply due to how bonkers it all was. This game has it's fair share of flaws but the good is SO good that it ends up being amazing regardless. Expand

    Have you ever wanted to chop up a giant robot with your sword?

    Well, that will have to wait until you've taken its health down to a preset amount. After that you can deliver two or three cuts and the affected body part is destroyed for good. Every other cut after that is more or less for your own sadistic enjoyment. Revengeance is all about wanting to do something outrageous and

    Revengeance is all about wanting to do something outrageous and being consistently slapped on the wrist. You can't do great damage until you have blocked, dodged and jumped your way through a preset sequence of attacks from the enemy that will severely hurt you unless you block/dodge/jump. And if you've been a good dog you'll be allowed to engage in the iconic Blade Mode™. For a few seconds.

    Of course, that only applies to bosses. Slicing through the lesser enemies is quite easy. Slicing a VIP in two before you have the chance to cut off the Oh So Important Left Hand™ is quite easy too. Can't cut that hand off a corpse, obviously.

    Quite an enjoyable grindfest that keeps reminding you that you are merely a cyborg, not an Enemy Cyborg™
