    I didn't know what to expect from God Eater 3. No one I know did play any of'em. All I know was: its somekind of a Monster Hunter Game. and yes - it is. But it has so much to offer than just copy MH. Its an amazing Game so far. And for the Nintendo Switch - its a perfect Match. The Missions are mostly short (2-10Min).

Weapon- and Gear design is really cool. I'm about 10h in and I still want to do some missions when I have time to. I'm really surprised by God Eater 3. I enjoyed it more then Monster Hunter World so far.… Expand

    Nice game. Nice graphics. Short burst missions. Could've been a little longer. Less than 10mins to complete a mission.

    A really solid, fun title if you're looking for a faster-paced, less strategy orientated Monster Hunter that's more geared towards action than the more methodical approach of MH (Monster Hunter).

It's also a much easier to approach game than MH for newcomers; every control and system is explained to you in a way that's easy to understand, making this a great game to get into if you're on the fence about the depth of these games.

    To go over all of the positive aspects about the game, I of course have to first mention the combat. The combat is, bar none, some of the greatest in any video game I've played in recent memory. The music can be hit or miss, but the majority of the time, i found myself either enjoying the score or forgetting it was there entirely as I focused on combat, but it was never intrusive or too much. The game also has an insane amount of customization allowed for your character with the amount of weapons you can choose from, as well as a decent cosmetic customization system. The Aragami design, the monsters in this game, is also very good, and I'd go as far to say even better than recent MH titles.

    While this game does have stellar combat and a few other great mechanics, I do want to touch on the flaws as well. The story isn't anything to write home about and the dialogue really isn't up to par with most modern games, but the characters are memorable and charming. Another small issue is the mission design; Every mission you go into is very straightforward, with a path akin to a corridor, a room, another corridor, another room, and copy and paste this formula for almost every map in the game, meaning exploration is out of the picture entirely for this title. All of the maps in the game are also reused multiple times, taking away from the immersion in the game, but considering most people won't be too terribly into the story and its continuity, it's an easy flaw to look past.

    The visuals are also nothing spectacular. Take any JRPG from the last few years and you'll see that God Eater 3 looks almost identical to other games that came out years before it. The landscapes and design of some areas is interesting and cool to look at, but overall, it's just a small step below of what we should be expecting at this point, even for a switch title, but that also doesn't necessarily mean the visuals are bad either. I personally think it's a complete non-issue, I never really care about graphics in video games, but for the select few, I think it's worth mentioning that it isn't anything grand.

    So to sum this all up, here are the pros and cons of the game so you can decide for yourself what will impact your enjoyment.
    Pros:
    - Fun, fast-paced action.
    - Memorable characters.
    - Lots of customization and great weapon design.
    - Amazing and unique monster design.
    - Good, non-intrusive music.

    Cons:
    - Bad dialogue.
    - A forgettable story.
    - Reused mission locations.
    - Straightforward mission design.    … Expand

    Huge fan of the previous games and this game definitely pushes the graphics and gameplay to the next level. It works well on Switch whether in handheld or in docked mode. Well worth playing and better imho than Monster Hunter.

    Отличный порт, мыла нет, в портативе огонь. Игра лучше версии пс4 по одной простой причине - в ней можно играть в дороге, на работе и прочих экстремальных местах. Не понимаю, чем недовольны другие рецензенты. Я ожидал худшего, но учитывая что первые две части выходили на портативе, то и формат третьей не стал исключениемОтличный порт, мыла нет, в портативе огонь.

    Excelente juego si te gusta monster hunter seguro te encantará y si eres de los que les gusta más que todo la acción y la exploración no tanto definitivamente es tu juego, gran cantidad de misiones una historia tipo anime bien narrada y sus dos son totalmente estables,eso sinmencionar que es portátil. 100% recomendado

    It's a huge upgrade visually and the combat system is friendly to people generally not good at action games. The story is plain and characters are not that impressive compared to God Eater 1&2 but still a good game.

    This game is just my cup of tea. Franctic anime action on Monster Hunter series template. Do not expect the same level of challenge though. God Eater 3 has a more fast-paced, button-mashing playstyle.

    Adding portability to God Eater mix, this is the version of the game with most added value IMO.    … Expand

    Потрясающая игра! Одна из лучших на Switch. Шикарные бои и боевая система, отличный гринд, замечательный сюжет, качественная локализация (что большая редкость для Nintendo), великолепный саундтрек.

Создание персонажа - отдельная песня, столько крутых вариантов!
    Если сравнивать с другими похожими играми, то я дважды скачивал и дважды удалял Monster Hunter Rise Demo потому что в это просто невозможно играть… но God Eater 3 просто покорил моё сердце!
    Единственное что меня расстроило это то что в игре мало аниме вставок/роликов, после такого крутого вступительного ролика надеешься что дальше тебе покажут чуть ли не аниме сериал, но к сожалению бюджета на это видимо не хватило, поэтому -1 балл…
    Отдельно хотел бы похвалить DLC которые отлично продолжают и раскрывают сюжет. «Алые пепельные земли» это настоящий ад! (В хорошем смысле естественно)    … Expand

    La mecaninca de misiones para poder avanzar en la historia creo que le quita esa capacidad de enganche en el mismo, adicional me parecio inentendible como crear armas nuevas nunca pude entenderlo bien(no jugue los anteriores), aunque alcance a crear algunas pero me hubiese gustado poder elaborar mas y mejores. tambien es muy limitado el progreso de las armas.

    God Eater 3 isn’t a substitute for the lack of Monster Hunter on the Nintendo Switch. It is its own thing and should be treated as such. God Eater 3 has an interesting world to explore and the post-apocalyptic setting suits the tone of the game well. The fast-paced and intense combat is fun but is best enjoyed in shorts bursts.

    God Eater 3 was already a great game and the Switch version actually feels like the best way to play it. It runs smooth whether handheld or docked, and the extra content is a bonus. I’d probably go so far as to recommend this over the PS4 version, though if you already own it I wouldn’t implore you to buy it a second time unless Switch is your main console or you want something awesome to play on the commute. Either way, God Eater 3 is a prime example of a Switch port done right.
