    Mato Anamolies is an appropriate name, as the game is something of an anomaly itself. I want to rate it higher than I have here regarding its overall presentation and solid first and middle narrative portions. Yet the final segments and how they contrast everything that happened beforehand hold me back. It’s frustrating, as I genuinely enjoyed my time with the game in its first two-thirds and could easily see it being a good fit for those looking for a compelling cyberpunk plot or an RPG with a similar tone to Persona. I wouldn’t mind revisiting Mato one day. I hope the next visit’s outcome isn’t so bizarre an unraveled experience.

    Mato Anomalies is a good game that fails for trying to include, unnecessarily, too many elements in its formula. Despite this, its good characters and interesting plot manage to sustain it for its entire duration and the combat brings enough new elements to remain challenging.

    We’ve still got some time to spend with Mato Anomalies, but we’ve enjoyed what we’ve played of it so far. It’s not the most polished RPG, which may disappoint some, but its streamlined nature is a breath of fresh air, and it has a neat premise and some cool ideas. Fans of the likes of Persona are most likely to resonate with it, but it’s perhaps worth a look for any RPG fan looking for something new to sink their teeth into. [Provisional Score = 70]

    "Mato Anomalies" tries to be good in many aspects of the gameplay, but the title just doesn't manage that. The plot seems exciting at the"Mato Anomalies" tries to be good in many aspects of the gameplay, but the title just doesn't manage that. The plot seems exciting at the beginning, but can't hold the tension for long and the presentation of the game also seems rather outdated and this is where the developers of the game could have started. Because the fights and the hacks have good ideas and with more possibilities also become really good. So we can address "Mato Anomalies" only fans of the genre, because it was not enough for only an average rating. Too bad!!!… Full Review »

    This is a soulless persona clone. This game takes the best parts of that series and makes them worse in almost every way. Story is generic,This is a soulless persona clone. This game takes the best parts of that series and makes them worse in almost every way. Story is generic, enemies lack flair, battles are incredibly lackluster. I can't recommend this game to anyone, spend what precious time you have left on earth elsewhere. You might get something out of it, but not without a mind numbing slog through mounds of text and mediocre gameplay.… Full Review »
