    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is good espically for the price the only problem I have is the aiming. It tends to move to far to fast causing me to aim beside my target. Bot a horrible problem when there is a horde or the infinate defult among but when trying to use fire ammo I tend to miss if there is not a hord.this is not ment to be a hard core serious game it's cheap for a reason. The ai pathing gets them stuck and exploitable easily. However the towers that magically summon orcs sometimes summon them at the entrance to the small section you cam in to or on the other side in the last small section causing you to back into them without warning. However they done hurt you as much as you would expect. So baically if there was a sensitivity control were I could slow the aim speed some it would be an amazing cheap little game.

    All in all i give it a 7 becuse the aiming is waaaaay to sensitive jumping with the slightest tap and even aimed in it jumps just as much. It would have a 9 for its price if that was fixed .... its playable but make sure you take advantage of the bad pathing of the orcs and keep a look out for those poison mages they can kill you becuse the poison lasts a long time otherwise amazing game.    … Expand

    If this game was on a Gamecube or a PS2, it would be a fine game. But it's not a PS2 game, It's a PS4 game from 2016!
    The trophies are really easy to get however, so if you want to flex your achievements, I guess this game is for you.

    Orc Slayer is an embarrassment. Aside from an absolute gimme of a platinum trophy, this is marginally less good than the Zika virus.

    Most damning, however, is that there’s nothing that actually saves Orc Slayer. There’s no real attempt to even do something interesting, different, or creative. This is a game that actively sets out to be a generic FPS with a medieval humans-vs-orcs theme. It doesn’t even try to be a good one. The developers know, surely, that the game isn’t remotely competitive with the better examples of the genre – even in the indie FPS space. That they clearly didn’t care enough about the player to try and do something even slightly different is an absolute insult, and the fact it can’t even get the basics of the genre down means that it deserves no respect from anyone.

    This game clearly wasn’t optimized for the PS4. Nothing about this game should be challenging the PS4’s hardware to this extent so I’m clueless as to why this game performs as badly as it does. Overall I would say this is one to avoid.
