    The Wonderful 101 Remastered is one of the most unique games out there, with excellent gameplay good story and impressive level design.

The story is surprisingly good, with moments that are beyond amazing, plus the soundtrack is great. There is also cool bonuses like a gallery and a neat multiplayer mode. The Wonderful 101 Remastered is the definition of unique, it’s amazing gameplay and story supported by an excellent soundtrack, a must play indeed. (Amazing 4/5) Your Missing Out!… Expand

    60fps for the most part on ps4 with 1080p. It's definitely just a port but the game is fantastic. If you never owned a wii u and like games by Kamiya... this is him on overdrive. Give it a shot.

    First major issue it the camera, it constantly zooms in way to close and your constantly fighting with it just to explore..Then theres the broken combat with obscure timing making blocking and parrying a guessing game. Then there the fact 99% of the game is just trying to figure out wtf your meant to do..
    This games is incredibly frustrating and make Platinums other bad game " Star Fox" seem decent by comparison..
    I am a big fan of some of Platinums games, but they are a one trick pony.. 3rd person hack and slash is all they can do.    … Expand

    It seems like a game that you might love if you're really into that genre, but it can be frustrating to control and it is very spammy at graphics and sounds for little reason. It reminds of old arcade games that were mainly trying to impress the people watching them rather than the ones actually playing.

    One of the deepest combat systems in any arcade style action game ever made! The story and characters are likable and the set pieces are completely bonkers. It really is wonderful!

    A masterpiece with a brilliant ending. The game has troubles with puzzles being hard to understand and possibly requiring a walkthrough. I used Youtube several times to progress. But the action is top-of-the-class. One of the most epic endings I've played. If you're into PlatinumGames or Japanese action games in general, this is a must-play.

    ‪The Wonderful 101 has to be the most fun and wholesome singleplayer videogame there is. ‬
    ‪The absolute spirit of vgs distilled in a game, an authentic and super rewarding digital Disneyland on steroids.‬

    Wonderful 101 is truly something different. Still have my WiiU copy, but honestly it plays better on the PS5. Loads super fast, better resolution, sound and frame rate.

There is the puzzle element as the game dies t exactly tell you what to do, you have to experiment as you go. It’s more addictive on the PS5 and not as clunky as it was on using the WiiU touchscreen. Like playing a comic book or cartoon, which I apparently like as I liken this to Guardians of the Galaxy. I love the game and I’d recommend it if you are in to cartoon/comic franchise games.… Expand

    Perhaps gamespot would only appreciate a platinum game like bayonetta 2, which is all about making concessions to newbies. But no matter how many points are deducted from this game, it is impossible to get only 40. Although the game has bugs and is not very novice friendly, it's still a rare good game.

    I played this game seriously again on the PS4. I hope all the developers are brave enough to continue to develop excellent games that adhere to themselves in the future.    … Expand

    The Wonderful 101 is a fun and vibrant game that overstays its welcome. Its a game that really should've been 6-7 hours shorter than it was. This game is also far too lenient. Death basically means nothing in this game. If you die mid way in a boss battle, you respawn with full health but the boss's health is whereever it was when you last died.

    Wonderfull 101 Remastert ist an sich ein gutes spiel sehr witzig und durch die verschiedenen fähigkeiten sehr abwechslungsreich aber die umsetzung ist misarabel kamara des todes in vielen fällen und die verschiedenen zeichen um die Fähigkeiten zu wechseln funktioniert auf ps4 so gut wie nie

    Contras:
    - O jogo dura mais do que o ideal.
    - Um alto ponto negativo nesse game é sua jogabilidade tendo que moldar suas armas através do analógico que nem sempre funciona da maneira que se espera atrapalhando muito em vários momentos cruciais.
    - Dificuldade, assim como Dmc e Bayonetta ranks são dados conforme sua proeza durante as missões mas por conta da jogabilidade ser um ponto negativo acaba que a dificuldade só piora a experiência tornando tudo frustrante.
    - Excesso de Kick-time events, pensa num jogo com kick-time, esse jogo é o cúmulo do exagero nesse quesito nem se compara aos kick-times de God of war ou alguns jogos interativos, simplesmente o extremo do irritante

    Conclusão: The wonderful é um hack-slash com ótimas ideias porém com uma execução duvidosa, o jogo foi originalmente planejado para Wii u o que explica muita coisa sobre seus defeitos, toda questão de desenhar suas armas para combater seus inimigos com cenas épicas e quick-times empolgantes parece funcionar muito bem numa jogatina frenética utilizando o controle do Wii u mas no Ps4 simplesmente só me soa irritante e desengonçado.

    Eu fico na duvida se recomendo ou não esse game, sinceramente deixo por sua escolha, se esta interessado em algo único com ideias muito originais eu recomendaria...
    Porém saiba que poderá passar muita raiva se jogar o game em sua dificuldade padrão sem nenhum auxilio, para facilitar você pode usar um item chamado "automatic" que impede que suas construções de armas sejam desfeitas enquanto esta em processo de construção porém seu rank final é afetado.

    Enfim espero que minha review tenha lhe esclarecido um pouco sobre The wonderful 101, infelizmente sendo uma decepção pra mim porém não posso negar que esse game é bem criativo e original.    … Expand

    The game's main mechanics are incedibly original and really, really fun, easy to learn but hard to master.

    The levels are impressive, with a huge amount of different enemies to fight, each of them being it's own unique concept with it's own moveset and moves (some of them can do a LOT of attacks!).
    And the boss fights... are just incredible. Every single boss fight from this game is full of crazy action and over the top epicness, with unpredictable bosses that can use different attacks every time you play the battle.

    The Wonderful 101 gets better and better as long as you progress, with an excellent character development, orchestrated soundtrack, non-stoping action and a sense of epicness that you can't see in almost any game.

    And the hard mode? You'll love it.    … Expand

    The Wonderful 101: Remastered is indeed wonderful with its action-packed campaign and highly enjoyable gameplay. As if that's not enough, there's an underlying message that I'm sure we could all use right now.

    I’m sure those who loved The Wonderful 101 the first time around will get a kick out of playing this game again on modern day consoles with nicer visuals. For those that hadn’t experienced it before though, this remaster feels like an artifact from a bygone age that couldn’t adapt to a new set of input’s without the Wii U controller. The combat and concept are still sound 7 years on. Everything else needed to be reworked or tweaked further.

    Still one of the most unique character action games we’ve played, combined with a heartwarming story and retro-futuristic setting that is just pure feel-good. Simply… wonderful. [Issue#177, p.150]
