    My time with Babylon's Fall was a strange one. I don't recall ever disliking a game so heavily, only to fall in love with it moments later. The satisfaction driven nature of the experience is a road worth taking, but the slow burn isn't for everyone.

    Babylon’s Fall falters with its implementation of a live-service model. While it contains a compelling, multi-faceted combat system, its brilliance is lost in a crowd of unnecessary features. The art direction, although interesting, doesn’t capture the notion of an oil painting. Instead, it looks bland and at times, downright ugly. Unfortunately, it seems that a troubled development period has marred the game, resulting in a directionless, cluttered and convoluted adventure.

    Babylon’s Fall seems like it needed a lot more development time. The core combat feels stiffer than my left wrist, which is currently recovering from a broken bone. Combining that with lackluster graphics and limited multiplayer options would be bad enough, but locking out key features of the game behind ten or so hours of gameplay makes Babylon’s Fall a very tough sell. Stacking microtransactions on top of it all leaves a nasty aftertaste that Platinum Games is going to have to wash out for a long time to come. Babylon’s Fall is good for some mindless, repetitive dungeon crawling, but certainly not for the launch MSRP of $59.99.

    The murky visuals, bland dungeon design, boring gameplay overshadow the excellent boss design and a killer soundtrack, making this more of a chore to play and dampening the experience tremendously. There is no way in good faith that this could be recommended as a full-priced title, however in the future, if they improve upon the many mistakes that are currently in the game, it could be made into what it originally looked to be.

    Babylon Fall is a game that can entertain you for a couple of hours but quickly becomes quite monotonous. It has a history that is not very inspired with combat that lacks depth.

    It may have a few interesting mechanics up its sleeve, but Babylon’s Fall manages to be one of the least interesting titles we have played as of late. And if you add astoundingly bad visual presentation on top of bland gameplay, you get a mixture that is hard to believe came from such a renowned developer and publisher. Not many will enjoy this one.

    There is no one that we would recommend Babylon’s Fall to. It’s visually dated, consistently dull and features the most average PlatinumGames combat we can remember. On paper, the concept of a game like this bathed in the studio’s signature style is an appealing one, but sadly there’s nothing about the Platinum shine that’s evident in Babylon’s Fall.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ha del potenziale che lo rende un gameplay bello non acquisterò mai perché non è presente una lingua italiana. Comunque mi dispiace ritrovo scorretto un prezzo alto senza lingua italiana e altre lingue per questo passa con la sufficienza perché le idee ci sono ritrovo scorretto che non sono presenti diverse lingue mondiali non è giusto nei confronti di chi lo gioca che non è portato per le lingue elencate.… Expand

    Графика размазана еще и фон дополнительно типа краска или что, не знаю но глаза сильно напрягаются и быстро устают от такого ужаса. МиссииГрафика размазана еще и фон дополнительно типа краска или что, не знаю но глаза сильно напрягаются и быстро устают от такого ужаса. Миссии рассчитаны на мультиплеер, но игроков нету и по сути одному играть не возможно, а добавить ботов или ослаблять врагов при отсутствии группы разработчикам ума не хватило. Управление ужасное, приходится использовать сразу 4 пальца на шифтах так как 2 шифта постоянно надо держать зажатыми. Подписка в игре, серьезно??? Такие игры бесплатно раздают, за фулл прайс о каких подписках может идти речь. Вобщем эта игра разочарование года… Expand
