    Obey Me is a thrilling brawler with excellent co-op and awesome action. The elegance of combat will make you feel like a supreme badass, and every weapon is brutally satisfying. While the narrative did not live up to its full potential, I would love to see another adventure starring the cool punky blonde Vanessa and the hilarious hellhound Monty. Overall, this is an auspicious debut from Error 404 Game Studios.

    The game tells a generic oh youre being duped into being used story, as you have the ability to absorb souls…
    Obey me looks really great, and on paper this game sounds amazing, this is a fairly linear game with tons of hidden paths that contain xp and collectables, experience used to you guessed it, upgrade your characters and hound… a hound that by the way can be controlled if you chose to play in coop.. so a cool looking beat em up with a heaven and hell story, rpg elelemnts, skill trees and different wapons being unlocked as the game progresses, different forms for your good boy to turn into… this all sounds great, but reality obey me is a chore to get through, and is plagued by performance issues, at least on the playstation 4… constant frame rate drops, which isn’t good for a game thts about defeating enemies that swarm you on the screen… the game also completely freezes and at one point corrupted and had to be updated when upgrading your character sometimes… these issues could be looked over if the fun is here.. and it just isn’t.. the combat does not feel good, its so unsatisfying that it hurts, and the gameplay overall is just super unintuitive as weapon switching feels like a juggling act… you get a great variety of weapons here, that all have different moves and abilities, but you have to sycle through to get to one rather than press a button on the direction pad for example… and uring battles..health drops essentially don’t exist.. leading to a game that’s too easy on easy but certain moments of the game, youd be torturing yourself if you weren’t playing on easy…
    The look of obey me had me excited, the great looking enemies and world, the boss fights, the potential for a good story.. bt ultimately there is nothing good here aside from its art.. there are some games that you do have to put a little time into until it gets good and obey me does the opposite.. it starts out with potential to be good, to a few hours in and its just kinda okay, but the sum of all its parts is a mediocre bore of an unfun game…    … Full Review »
