    Man, as an Indian I was excited to try this out. Extremely disappointing. The only thing they got right was the aesthetic and Hindu culture. This games’ outer shell is fantastic. It’s the inner core which is Meh at best. I can’t think of another word other than Meh.

    Raji is a decent game to play - whilst nothing groundbreaking in it's mechanics, it plays well. The art style is unique and it runs on a storyline theme that you don't see all that often, based on Indian mythology and culture.

    There are a few minor issues - camera angles for one can give a lack of accuracy when performing jumps (especially between hanging down branches / trees), and    Raji is a decent game to play - whilst nothing groundbreaking in it's mechanics, it plays well.

    That aside though, it's a game worth picking up and playing - still fun and worth the 4 hours or so it takes to play through.    … Expand

    Raji was a decent experience. While it never stood out from the combat focused platformer crowd, it never buried itself in the crowd either. It’s fine game that I think fans of this style of game will enjoy even with the issues I had. If only the loading screen wasn’t so long, I wouldn’t have had as many issues with failing at my jumps and at the combat with several enemies. In the end, this is a different take on a familiar style of game that is just fine, but doesn’t stand out.

    Raji: An Ancient Epic is a unique game that reminds me of the great Prince of Persia, her journey following a similar arc of learning God-given powers to help her people. Platforming can be a bit off a times, the forced perspective camera not helping here, though across the board Raji is more forgiving than most, letting us pick back up where we left off quickly. It’s a shame that we can’t level select to mop up collectibles/achievements as otherwise replaying can be a bit of a drag. Some great audio visual work eases this pain, but as it is I’d suggest that waiting for a sale down the line might make the journey feel more worth your while.

    Raji: An Ancient Epic on Xbox One is a game I wanted to love from the off. From the moment I picked it up, right through to the telling end, I have to say I haven’t been left disappointed. It is a beautiful, epic journey with some fabulous storytelling and amazing visuals. Yes, occasionally the combat drags a bit, the waves of enemies grow dull as you progress to the latter stages, and the price is a tad high for the six-hour or so experience, but I think it's worth it for the quality on show here.
