    Game play wise, Raiden V is awful but you probably already know that from other reviews. Technically is also awful, on the top right corner of the actual screen (where the action takes place) there is always a flickering diagonal shadow when the stage is bright, the worst part is that the game crashes randomly with error CE-34878 on PS4 and after all these wears it hasn't been fixed yetGame play wise, Raiden V is awful but you probably already know that from other reviews.

Luckily, I bought it on sale and I only lost 9€, you have been warned, avoid like the plague!!!… Expand

    Raiden V: Director's Cut is a fine shooter. While it introduces some things to keep rookies engaged, it also has enough to keep veterans playing thanks to multiple routes and plane configurations. There's a limited selection of shooters for the bullet hell crowd to enjoy, and despite its issues with bullet visibility, Raiden V deserves a place in that library.

    In the end, Raiden V felt like a game that ticks all the right boxes for a Solid Shoot’em Up. It is not trying to be the most innovative game of the genre. It is only there to give you a solid gaming experience that you expect from a vertical scrolling, retro-flavored, bullet-hell game. Everything Raiden V has to offer is something you have already seen elsewhere, with some minor changes here and there. Overall, Raiden V is just another game in the long evolutionary process of Shoot’em Ups. If you’re looking for a casual and good vertical shooter to spend your time with, Raiden V is a good choice.

    Whether you are a serious fan of bullet hell games or new to the genre, Raiden V: Director’s Cut is a great place to start. It offers easy to play, but hard to master gameplay and some great moments throughout and lives up to the series name!
