    A really fun game to play on the go,
    However,

    Cons:
    -Too much motion blurr
    -Bad Port
    -Glitches
    -Bad sound quality compare to other platforms
    -Drops under 30-20 fps

    Pros:
    -Bosses are challenging and each one can be approched how you want.
    -Each of your abilities allows you to play how you want (exemple range/melee)
    -Game is not repetitive but you will die and restart over.

    I love this game but I do recommend playing it on PC for stable 60 FPS.
    I bought it on Switch for the replay value after playing it on PC and I play only on handheld mode.
    It does have frequent FPS drops below 60, most of them don't drop below 30, but some do (final boss has noticeable moments) so be aware of that. Sound quality seems on par with PC version so IDK what the other    I love this game but I do recommend playing it on PC for stable 60 FPS.

    In my opinion the FPS drops don't ruin the game but you will probably notice them and they may throw you off at rare times. That's why I'm giving it a 7 instead of 8-9.    … Expand

    I tried this game after my brother bought and finished it, at the beginning I found it fun, but at the third boss it start getting more and more like a bullet hell rather than a 1v1 boss rush, and I dropped it, overall not an enjoyable experience.

    Furi is a boss rush game with elements from bullet hell shooters and arcade fighting games.
    It's overall a good game. Albeit a game with some issues.
    The boss fights are challenging and interesting. The controls are quick to learn and hard to master. The music is amazing. So far so good. But then there are also weird design decisions.

    The boss fights are challenging and interesting. The controls are quick to learn and hard to master. The music is amazing. So far so good.

    But then there are also weird design decisions. For example you have to literally play a walking simulator between boss fights which is very boring and unskippable. It's mostly there to provide some downtime and present the story. But the story is just meh in my opinion.
    Another issue for me was the "easy mode" of the game. Furi is a very hard game, which is perfectly fine. However this means that a number of players will need to play the easy mode to complete the game. And quite frankly the easy mode sucks. They basically just made the game easier by cutting out large parts of content and giving you a bunch of extra lives. The result just feels terrible to play. I'd much rather have seen an easy mode where maybe the enemies were a little slower so you have more time to react.
    And last but not least the performance of the game is great in handheld mode but not so much in TV mode. I could really see the framerate drop once the screen got more busy.
    All in all Furi is a good game that lacks a little bit of polish.
    If they fixed the easy mode and performance issues and made the walking simulator parts skippable it would propably be a 9/10.
    I should also note that the game is rather short (anywhere between 1 and 7 hours depending on your skill level). But that's ok in my opinion since the game is cheap and has a lot of replay value    … Expand

    At some times, Furi seems to cross the line of what you consider a fun and fair challenge. Even so, it creates a restless atmosphere with its intriguing narrative, electrified soundtrack and mixture of hack n’ slash and bullet hell boss-rush gameplay.

    The gameplay was kept interesting and entertaining throughout, with every boss fight feeling fresh and none of them feeling like repeats.

    Furi is a great mix of hack and slash with a bullet hell. Where the game performs really great on the action level, the game misses the mark when things get quiet. Still it is a very enjoyable game, but it has its flaws.
