Sep 12, 2019A fantastic game. I really enjoyed it from beginning till the end. A must have for action game fans.
-
Sep 11, 2019Astral Chain overall is a great game with only a problem here and there. The game play is fun and rewarding. The bosses are epic but when the soundtrack kicks in, its just the cherry on top. The story is where it falls short. It become very predictable very quickly. I hope Nintendo let's Platinum make a sequel so they can build off this great foundation.

Sep 10, 2019After I finished 28 hours of this game in digital version, I run as quick as possible to search the Collector's Edition. This game has the best gameplay and amazing soundtracks, this is the rare case of the great gameplay which can support the story to have the better meaning. You're the hero, the savior of human kind, but you're the police also, so you must not be arrogant of civilian life.

Sep 10, 2019Nier Automata es sin duda el mejor juego programado por PLATINUM GAMES pero Astral Chain es posiblemente el segundo mejor juego de esta compañia

Sep 10, 2019Once again a game doesn't live up to the hype, or at least my own expectations. This game is dragged down hard by the slow sidequests and investigations. The more I play the more I don't care about collecting thinks or even attempting a lame sidequests. I wanted to like this. But it feels like work not fun.

Sep 3, 2019Очень бодрый слешер-экшн с отличным стилем, прекрасными шортиками, шикарнейшей музыкой и пафосным сюжетом. Одна из лучших игр в этом году, которой совсем чуть-чуть не хватило до 10 и лучшая игра Platinum.
-
Sep 10, 2019One of the best soundtracks of any game ever made. Easily one of the best looking games on the Switch. Solid action gameplay but also mixes in investigation parts that are an excellent way to giva a bit of a breather between the action heavy parts.
Would say this is a must buy for any Switch owner. -

Sep 9, 2019This game is fantastic, and has quickly become my favorite game of the year (so far) . If you have enjoyed past platinum games, I'd be surprised to hear you didn't love this.
-
Sep 9, 2019Graphics: 9.0
Soundtrack: 10 (is a fcking masterpiece)
Gameplay: 9.5
Plot: 7.0 (yep is a pretty generic story but it works) -
Sep 9, 2019This game is fire! Everything is top notch. The only negatvie is that the lip syncing is a little bit off, but since the voice acting is top notch it isn't enough to take any point off. A must buy for anyone owning a switch!!
-
Sep 9, 2019An all-round excellent and charming-as-hell action game. Packed full of not only awesome combat moments but also a surprising number of fun and often hilarious side activities. If you have a Switch it's a must-buy.

Sep 9, 2019The best switch game released to date.ignore the haters who are review bombing this masterpiece there just a bunch of twelve year olds.
-
Sep 9, 2019Astral Chain is a very good Action game, with great combat and I'm enjoying the story as well. Worst part of the game are the platforming section which there aren't too many so far.
It's also great fun doing side quests, or picking up cans to throw into the bin, for some reason. If you enjoy action games, this is the game for you. -
Sep 9, 2019I picked my copy up on saturday. And I spent hours enjoying the game. Just everything is so well made for the switch. Even the 30fps are no problem for a action game like this (they really made it work!).
And the soundtrack is just amazing! Hope it keeps me motivated to revisit it! -

Sep 9, 2019Не умею писать по чурбански, поэтому все просто. Игра, драйвовая, стильная. Если хотите такой необычный слешерчик, добро пожаловать.
-
Sep 9, 2019Outstanding action game , more consumable for the audiences than Bayonetta.

Sep 8, 2019I really enjoyed the game with an amazing story, the duration of the game is reasonable and I really liked the game. Unfortunately it is an exclusive game of Nintendo Switch. I would like other platforms to have this title to play on the preferred platform
-
Sep 8, 2019Not a bad game, but i expected a litle more, the batlles are good and very visuals but i feel kind a repetitive and not satisfacing it all.
-
Sep 8, 2019Just finished the game. I love everything about it. The only gripe I have is the camera control - especially the lack there of when controlling the legion. The control scheme need some getting use to, but after that, I like this more than using the face buttons for attack. I play less Bayonetta 1 and 2 because my thumb feels hurt when playing it for a longer sitting.

Sep 8, 2019This game is a masterpiece, I m amazed how fun and beautiful Astral chain is, there’s no doubt about the potential for this game to be game of the year in 2019.
-
Sep 8, 2019Franchement l'un des pires jeux de chez Platinium Games, tout dedans est très mauvais voir nul.
-
Sep 7, 2019Overall very cool game, innovative and fun fighting system, compelling character designs and immersive story, Good graphics, been playing it ever since I got it without any complaints, as a fan off many diverse games I truly think this game is one of or top 3 best in the switch system as of today. I recommend it, and thank me later.

Sep 8, 2019The game has pretty solid and innonative combat, but the platforming elements and the weird, riddiculous side quests extremely slows the pace. If there were no platformer levels and those side quests (carrying boxes, ice cream, injured people etc) the game would have been the best action game in years.
-
Sep 8, 2019Character design di personaggi favoloso, stile artistico fantastico, il gameplay peculiare e sempre più spettacolare e profondo col passare delle ore si discosta dai precedenti lavori di platinum games risultando un action adventure che alterna combattimenti a fasi esplorative (impreziosite da enigmi ambientali)e di indagine con tanto di subquest.

Sep 8, 2019Buenísimo juego con un aspecto visual muy chulo. Pequeños detalles para no darle un 10, no verse el reflejo en los espejos del baño por ejemplo. Sé que para algunos serán tonterías pero creo q cosas así son las q dan ese punto a los juegos

Sep 8, 2019El mejor hack and slash de nintendo switch agosto 2019, su sistema de combate es fácil de adaptar y su apartado gráfico se ve súper genial. Es mi humilde opinión.
-
Sep 7, 2019Jogaço, obrigatório aos portadores de um Nintendo Switch, recomendadissimo.
-
Sep 7, 2019Platinum games doesn’t make bad games, and Astral Chains is an example of hard work, inspiration and reinnovation. This games hits the feels good in so many places and doesn’t let your switch down. Good Job Platinum, good job
-
Sep 7, 2019Amazing game with diffferant playing style and mini games, the idea of legion is fantastic.
-
Sep 7, 2019I really love this game. Glad that we've got something like that. I can't stop playing that
-
Sep 7, 2019The best game in history pity for those who have a Playstation and will not be able to play
-
Sep 7, 2019Juego muy adictivo, los mejores graficos y efectos que he visto hasta ahora en switch, jugablemente es una delicia, muy recomendado, yo personalmente recomiendo a quien tenga una switch que lo juegue, a nada que te guste el genero lo vas a disfrutar.
-
Sep 7, 2019A culmination of everything Platinum has been working towards. Awesome gameplay and beautiful aesthetics.
-
Sep 7, 2019exelent combat, exelent story, exelent customization exelent sidequest, the only flaw in this game is the buggy platforming sections where you're landing is wierdly messed up and you ramdomly fall out of a pi, besidres that there is nothing to complaim about.
you feal only enjoyment while playing this game i don't regreat buying it. -

Not great - lack of voice acting. -
Sep 7, 2019excelente juego, lleno de pura acción, buenos gráficos y un gameplay espectacular.
-
Sep 7, 2019After finishing the game and giving it a chance, I can give an appropriate opinion with knowledge about this game. For my taste it has been long, heavy, boring and repetitive, I have not liked the graphics and the game mechanics very thick. With all this I do not recommend it at all and I give it a 1 of total note. Dont Buy this game people.

Sep 6, 2019This game exceeded my expectations and really proved to be something unique among as a sea of other awesome actions games. Really fills a niche that there isn't much of on the switch yet as well. Highly recommend for anyone with a taste for style.
-
Sep 6, 2019I have started playing the game, and absolutely amazing gameplay!
It's some of best games on switch nowadays -
Sep 6, 2019Great game. Masterpiece with the best of nier+bayonetta adding a police environment
-
Sep 6, 2019-Bad story
-Too easy
-Bad optimization
-Bad graphics
-Goes at 30 fps
-In short it is a mediocre game -

Sep 6, 2019One of the best games I had ever played on Nintendo switch.It's an excellent addition to the switch
-
Sep 6, 2019Astral Chain is one of those rare games that you come across and enjoy every single stage of the experience from start to finish. Platinum Games are top-notch when it comes to creating a masterful piece of art in the Action RPG genre. Following up on Nier Automata's 4+ million sales, Astral Chain does not dissapoint.
-
Sep 6, 2019Platinum games goodness. How to put this, I enjoyed it more than the DMC, Bayonetta games, but not quite as much as Nier Automata. Excellent game, interesting new combat mechanics with the legions, one of the best games you will play this year.

Sep 6, 2019Great game. Maybe my game of the year so far. Definitely on my top 7 games on the Switch atleast.

Platinum games clearly put alot of effort into this, and it shows. Simply amazing. -
Sep 6, 2019Simply wonderful, Platinum Games always surprising us, this game keeps you on the go with a frantic and very fun gameplay!
-
Sep 6, 2019The combat system is unique and addicting. The music and art style is good. The story is cliche though.

Sep 6, 2019Astral chain is a great game it has beautiful graphics I’m not too far in but this game is great seems to have a great story so far the fights are exciting runs great no performance issues
-
Sep 6, 2019Beautiful art and graphics, amazingly high octane combat, and a deep story! I definitely can't wait for the sequel.
-
Sep 6, 2019It really is an amazing game. The the play style is really fun and the storyline is good. It runs smoothly and the graphics look good.

Sep 6, 2019Es un buen juego, las gráficas no son las mejores, pero es parte del estilo del juego. Espero que en su próxima entrega mejoren ese apartado.

Sep 6, 2019Its is perfect? No but over 1k reviews had to be removed because of pissed off sony fanboys so that tells you how good it is
-
Sep 6, 2019Super game. Really love adventure fighting games since childhood. The cyberpunk world is perfect, combat system awesome. Really in last god of war game I like the combat less. The combat mechanics incredibly interesting Story is also good. Switch is perfect console returns me to my childhood of nes. I love ps4 games but switch last two years produce high quality exclusives
-
Sep 6, 2019Extremely engaging gameplay, splendid art direction / style, interesting worldbuilding, amazing pacing. Absolutely love this game

Sep 6, 2019Juegazo. Batallas increibles, jugabilidad super original con las legiones, luce bastante bien tanto en tv como en portatil. Ningun tiron que yo alla percibido, se mantienen estables los fps. Candidato a GOTY y seguramente a mejor juego en su estilo.
-
Sep 6, 2019One of the best games I have played on the nintendo switch, a definitive 9 game, although in my opinion it still does not exceed xenoblade 2, but it was very close, if the game had not been so linear I would have given it 10 sure, What I liked most was the original battle system.
-
Sep 6, 2019I don’t like the colors of this game. The gameplay is not very appealing. I am very disappointed, maybe I would give it better score if it was much cheaper. I don’t understand why many were excited about this.
-
Sep 6, 2019Best platinum games title yet. Incredible world, varied gameplay, gorgeous graphics.

Sep 6, 2019Platinum games is really good at hack and slash videogames and this one is not an exception!
-
Sep 6, 2019Tiene todo lo que esperaba y mucho mas, es un un juego increíble en todos los aspectos
-
Sep 6, 2019El juego es monotono y muy molesto, los colores pastel dan una apariencia extrana y tratan de ocultar la baja capacidad gráfica de la consola con movimientos de cámara extraños, es un intento desesperado por aparentar variedad en este sistema
-
Sep 6, 2019One of the best Switch games out there so far. Load of fun and action with "just one more mission" syndrome.
-
Sep 6, 2019Este juego sin duda es uno de los mejores que han salido para la Nintendo Switch, muy recomendable para sus usuarios. Para colmo de la hipocresía, varios fanboys de ps4 critican el juego porque va a 30fps a pesar de que muchos de los juegos de la ps4 van también a esa velocidad de frames, incluyendo al god of war que también es un hack and slash y corre a 30fps.

Nov 7, 2019Despite the hardware limitations and a handful of odd design choices, Astral Chain is one of the best new IPs to hit in recent years and one deserving the attention of every Switch owner.
