    Guts & Glory is a game that’s far too bare for its own good, consisting of little other than a range of challenges across a variety of uninspiring maps. The game’s most defining aspect is that it’s brutally gory, and although it is indeed fun to begin with, repetition swiftly rears its head soon after. Furthermore, performance issues, dated visuals and a lack of content diversity mars this already bland experience.

    I would say if you’re looking for a trial and error game with high difficulty, but rewarding game play, go for Trials over Guts and Glory. You’ll get a few laughs seeing how characters die, but in the end, it becomes frustrating far too quickly.

As you can imagine then I did have some interest in the Xbox One version and after playing it for a while it’s clear that it does have some enjoyable moments present, but unfortunately it also has a few problems present as well which in the end stop the game from reaching its full potential. That being said at first the game can be really fun and the easy to pick up and play style that’s been implemented means you can jump into the action straight away. At first I did become a little bit addicted but after a short while it’s clear that this game is best enjoyed when played in short bursts because it can get repetetive quite quickly when played for long periods. Another problem the game delivers to you when played for long periods is technical issues. Granted most of the technical issues are quite small and only happen every now and then but when they all combine together it can harm the fun factor quite considerably. Thankfully though I was just about able to look past these issues and when I did I realised that the physics that have been implemented in the game are actually pretty decent. Unfortunately the controls that accompany these physics are not as good. Throughout my time with the game I never really felt truly comfortable with the controls because they never seemed to do what I wanted them to do which did cause me to have quite a few frustrating moments. When the controls did perform well though I did have quite a bit of fun and you’ll be pleased to know that there are a decent amount of maps for you to race and ultimately have an horrific death on. Despite there being quite a few maps available to you as far as content is concerned the game doesn’t have a huge amount for you to get to grips with which means in terms of replayability there isn’t a great deal, which is a shame. One of my favourite things about the game was its presentation. Don’t get me wrong it does lack polish in some areas but in a way I think this made both the visuals and sound design have quite a bit of charm packed into them. At the end of the day Guts and Glory is game that’s perfect to play for a quick 30 minutes here and there because if played for longer the game’s shortcomings become a lot more noticeable. That being said despite its shortcomings it probably just does enough to get a very small recommendation from me.… Full Review »
