    I really wanted this game to be good but at the end of the day, it was a big disappointment. I watched the trailer and it looked good. Why? just wished it was good.

    Game and it's devs are crooks. Game hasn't been out for long and it's already being shut down including the servers so those who spent over hundreds of dollars won't be compensated at all. Anthem at its worst chose to keep servers up for the fans of that game to play. I will not be buying another platinum or square game going forward.

    wtf this game
    I expected an action like bayonetta, but it was a boring action
    Its an unfinished game and it ’s very boring
    I don't understand why it was released?
    You shouldn't buy this game

    One of the worst game I have played on PS5.

    Babylon's Fail is a Masterclass on what not to do to make a good game. I have never seen so much micro-transactions and F2P mechanics on a fully priced game, it is a shame. Except the weird atmosphere and the beautiful soundtrack, everything else is trash. Even the NieR Automata event can't save it... Sad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is in my opinion a game that keeps giving. At first the games fells simple and The story is the only thing that keept my intresset up. But after finished the main questline, and The 2nd main questline the games does a 180 and pours game technic after game technic at you. And The endgame grind has begun, the only negativ i can see here are The lack of people. But i quess people never gave the game a chanse. With a large community this game had been on my goty list for sure. For me it took about 80 hours to reach the endgame but i hade no rush but it can be done quicker.… Expand

    Square Enix needs to apologise to all gamers. This is the pinnacle of terrible, I mean we thought Marvel Avengers was the worst, that this pitiful company could accomplish. When they were Square, and Enix they were known for brilliant, excellent RPGs. Those days are far behind, if it wasn't for the resurgence of FF14 I'd view them as the worst games developer/publisher we have ever seen.Square Enix needs to apologise to all gamers. This is the pinnacle of terrible, I mean we thought Marvel Avengers was the worst, that this pitiful company could accomplish. When they were Square, and Enix they were known for brilliant, excellent RPGs. Those days are far behind, if it wasn't for the resurgence of FF14 I'd view them as the worst games developer/publisher we have ever seen. I'm kind of glad platinum games didn't finish Scale bound, it'd have just been more of this... what happened? pressure, time constraints, or did they sack everybody and got some college kids to finish it?

    If you have bought the game, and are reading this. Do yourself a massive favour. Go back to the store and demand a refund. It's just easier to get that right off the bat. This is the worst game of the decade.

    To start with signing in, you know your square enix account. I mean most of us have one (or if you have played FF14 you know you have at least 3 of them on different sites and different variations of the same account). You know Square Enix, Square Enix management, Mog station. You know they have more account choices than gods.

    I think for this game they mean the basic one, the square enix management. Do you know your username? i know if you log on in a browser you can use your email address but not, not for this game no. Gotta be the username. doesn't allow (for some reason) to put in your email address.

    You in? no. Of course not, You gotta bind it to your account 3 times. Wait you remember doing this before with FF14 and a few other games. Well of course you do, but unlike other companies don't expect anything to remember that with square enix.

    Did you rebind it 3 times, with the 3 screens hitting okay each time. Well you're not nearly anywhere near finished. Wait for it connecting, and...... wow some sort of store announcement type page. Hit cancel... you there, i swear you're almost playing (just kidding).

    Ahh you're at the 4 character screen, look at those graphics on show, yes this is the PS5 you're playing it on. Not a PS3. don't let those character models fool you. As a warning DO NOT stop doing something. If you go to the toilet now. That's it, it'll lose connection if you stop doing anything just for a second. You'll get an error code. Then you gotta start all over again.

    If it doesn't accept your password relogging in. Keep trying sometimes the square enix server just messes with you because it was built with string and silly putty.

    Have you chosen your sentinel yet? via the worst character creation screen you've ever seen since the PS2 era. You are almost there. I bet you can't wait to play. Yep. We're almost playing, cutscene time, no those aren't PS1 textures. See you're on deck, look at those.. uhh shadows. It's so high tech.

    Honest it's just an artistic way of this universe. They spent a lot of time with those cheers and that barrel you see... listen to that voice work. The squeaky guy in the armour. I mean ... wow.. i'm in tranced. I bet you wish you had stopped and just went back to the store now right.

    Look at the crowd cheer, see if you can spot the one whose arm doesn't connect to the shoulder. Sentinels sentinels. Welcome to Babylon.

    No. you can't skip the cutscene. i know you tried. but no, you gotta watch the whole thing. Isn't this the best. Yes you have weird glowing weapons around you, isn't it magical. Now be like sonic or mario collect those golden things along the pier.

    Prepare to dodge. you didn't dodge did you. Oh noes. Oh you did that time, oh look now you have a trophy, everyone will know you've played this now. You've gone too far.

    And no the game doesn't look any better. the gameplay doesn't evolve past this. and i bet you wish you never spent your money on it.

    Sony believe, that live service games like this and anthem are the future. As gamers, please... fight that idea for all it's worth or we're going to end up with games, exactly like this.

    And that's not what anyone wants.    … Expand

    Graphics:1/10,it looks like a PS2 title , the gameplay is so stiff and wooden ,the voice acting is atrocious, the music is annoying, the class system is archaic and messy , how did this game get a seal of approval, the systems are super complicated too, like menu navigation is ugly , this definitely has to be one of the worst games of the past few years

    Visualmente no se siente que le hayan puesto cariño a una premisa que da para más, con los cambios adecuados. Las propuestas de juego como servicio no son malas en sí, hay títulos que han triunfado con esa fórmula. Es una lástima que hayan preferido mermar su base jugable con microtransacciones que reflejan la idea de pagar para ganar. A pesar de sus problemas, es disfrutable y quizás con el tiempo puedan tener una redención como No Man Sky.

    This game was supposed to the beacon of revival for Platinum Games but it flopped massively, the gameplay & story is poorly managed, Bayonetta sets the standards for a wonderful genre while Babylons fall is just a comedy joke.

It has issues, several of them namely graphically it’s not PS5, the story, cutscenes and voice acting is quite poor BUT at it’s core there is a satisfying gameplay loop during which you chase loot and make builds to take on higher level endgame content.

    Square Enix, yet again, tortures their devs to make games they definitely don't want to make just so they can monetize their customers. This isn't the devs fault, it's squares fault for telling them to make a game they wouldn't be passionate about.

    Played the demo, uninstalled after about 3 minutes. Definitely the worst looking game I’ve ever seen on a PlayStation since PS2 era.

The opening cutscene and the graphical presentation was enough to never touch the game again. I feel bad for the developers and people who bought this game. Obviously this was a cash grab project from the get go from everything I’ve read about micro transactions.

    This game currently has a steam chart active user base of under 300 people per day in the whole world. So apparently many people either don’t know about this game, which is good because you should avoid it, or hate it so they never play. Probably hard to find people to play this with. I’d call this game dead on arrival.

    I get that they wanted to make the game look like a painting, but when it literally makes the game look terrible, why would you keep it this way? The dialogue and graphics were too bad to even want to move forward. Skip it. 0/10    … Expand

    Bare minimum does even describe the effort they must have put into developing this. It is like something you would put on the old Steam greenlight program.

    Our expectations for Babylon's fall were sky high. A collaboration between legendary publisher Square Enix and developer PlatinumGames, a few years ago responsible for the masterful 'NieR: automata', that could only produce fireworks, right? Unfortunately, fireworks that end with a whimper.

    Babylon's Fall is a game that impresses by the fact that nothing in it works as it should. It's a boring title and marked by a series of problems. It ends up standing out as one of the worst games in a year full of great releases.

    In its current state after a few updates, Babylon’s Fall is worth trying through the demo before you should consider picking it up on a discount. Until the team can overhaul the progression system to ensure most things aren't unlocked after a dozen hours of playing, Babylon's Fall likely will continue to lose players early on. There is definitely potential here and a lot of the bosses and areas are worth experiencing, but it is hard to recommend at even half price right now unless you click with the combat in the demo and want to see more.
