    Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is not only a bad game, but a clear reminder that not every game needs a sequel. We didn’t need a new Bubsy and we certainly don’t need a new Shaq Fu. The combat is constantly draining, the humour is poorly delivered and occasionally insulting to your intelligence, and the six stages do nothing to incite any kind of replay ability whatsoever.

    The only positive thing I have to say about this game is that the animated cutscenes, the music, and the humor are well done. The gameplay itself is unfun, unsatisfying, boring, repetitive, and frustrating. It's like they analyzed what made classic beat 'em ups fun and made the complete opposite. Also, there is a random bug that freezes everyone in their place and forces you to restart theThe only positive thing I have to say about this game is that the animated cutscenes, the music, and the humor are well done.

So, if you bought it digitally like me and you want to give them money in exchange for their DLC, "Tough luck. Buy the physical version or get lost, buddy". No, sorry. Awful job.… Expand

    Trying to play the nostalgia chord is risky, because it has its own limits. It shows, in Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn. Despite its hilarious scenario, the game is repetitive and devoid of any attempt to create something new.

    A poorly written game with gameplay that feels stiff and archaic, along with endless waves of enemies that take far too long to beat.

    Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn manages to do things at such a basic level that it numbs us to the idea of anything entertaining happening ever. A product from the past that lacks in every department, one has to wonder why they even bothered?
