    What started off full of promise, has crashed & burned - leaving a bitter taste in this player's mouth. Visually pleasing, although no real variety in visuals and a good narrative sets the scene, only to be let down by marred controls, poor optimisation, horrendous loading times and graphical popup where it shouldn't.

    Combat feels unsatisfying and the navigation just feels convoluted and not really...interesting. A shame, this game could've been so much more.

    Ultimately, Red Goddess: Inner World fails to deliver. It feels like a rushed concept, like the developer ran out of money and decided to release an optimised, unpolished title.

    Having read some of the 10/10 reviews here, I purchased the game. Only for it to dawn on me that the developer has obviously penned a few of them.

    Whilst looking like eye candy, the game itself offers little variety in visuals, the controls are just gosh darn awful and there's no excuses for releasing the game so woefully underdeveloped. Dips in frame rates, scenery pop-up and awfully long loading times, this should not be in the store in its current state and Yanim Studio need to learn a lesson here. If I'd have backed their Kickstarter campaign, I'd honestly want my money back. After reading all of the hype around the campaign a year ago, it really did pique my interest, they obviously have a great PR company behind them, because this is not the game that was originally promised.

    It feels like a compromise has been made, to rush the game to store at a certain date without fear of repercussion. With a bit more love, care and attention, Red Goddess: Inner World would be a beautiful title; the strong narrative needs strong gameplay and as it stands, it's not delivered.

    Yanim Studio, you need to go back to the drawing board. Your first game fails to meet expectation.    … Expand

    Boggles the mind as to how this passed the Sony QA and I only wish that the PS Store had a refund policy, like Steam. Woefully underdeveloped and disgracefully rushed out to the store. To sum up in three words?

    DO NOT BUY.

    Red Goddess has beautiful visuals and an interesting rage and fear transformation system. It had potential, but sadly, a great game is buried under a pile of problems.

    Red Goddess: Inner World is a metroidvania with some nice ideas and a lot of glitches and game design problems.

    The later platforming sequences are frustratingly difficult, the load times are excruciatingly protracted, the combat is sloppy, and sometimes the game just breaks. Jumping up walls and across crevices can be fun, but that's not nearly enough when everything else is such a chore to play.
