    Shantae and the Seven Sirens stays true to classic entries but pushes the series forward with the inclusion of unique abilities and new characters. Thankfully the game’s smartphone roots don’t appear to hold back the console experience, and we are left with one of the best Shantae games to date. The load times and lack of direction might cause a few points of frustration, but not enough to make this experience any less enjoyable.

    Shantae and the Seven Sirens is another enjoyable game in the Shantae franchise. The open world and exploration could be streamlined a little but the characters and gameplay are as enjoyable as ever with great animations and abilities.

    Shantae and the Seven Sirens is a game meant to be enjoyed. We understand some fans won’t like it’s lack of challenge, but we’ve certainly had a great time with it.

    Shantae and the Seven Sirens returns with the fifth chapter of the franchise: a few new things and all of them work properly on PlayStation 4.

    Even though Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is still the gold standard for the franchise, I enjoyed my time with Shantae and the Seven Sirens a great deal. Here's hoping the next adventure captures more of that classic half-genie magic.

    Still playful and dynamic, this Shantae is the lest challenging of the series, despite its formula keeps its magic.

A partire dalle sezioniShantae and the Seven Sirens è un gioco accattivante in particolare per chi apprezza questa tipologia di gioco. A partire dalle sezioni iniziali, il videogioco saprà catturare il giocatore grazie alla sua estetica, all’umorismo di fondo e alla sua struttura di gioco. Quest’ultima, sebbene non presenti molte differenze rispetto a quella dei capitoli precedenti e non offra un gran livello di sfida, può soddisfare ampiamente chi sia disposto a cimentarsi in un’avventura che scorre piacevolmente. Infine, anche il carisma della sua protagonista e degli altri personaggi contribuisce a consolidare un prodotto che nel complesso risulta più che buono.
