    Gungrave G.O.R.E seems 20 years out of date. The gameplay is too restrictive and without ideas, the graphics lag behind current action games, and the story is very chaotic. There aren't many reasons why you should even consider buying the game.

    Those looking for more Gungrave or even that nostalgic wave of something similar to it will be most delighted – as I was. It pains me to criticize something that is clearly made with love and adoration, and I hope that Iggymob gets another chance in the future.

    Gungrave G.O.R.E looks like an uncomplicated and enjoyable arcade-style romp, but it's actually an unrepentantly dull and dated chore that will make you want to cry.

    The whole experience is outdated and poorly designed which leads to nothing but frustration and regret. To add icing to the terrible cake, the game lacks any sort of coherent story or even likeable characters to help get players through the rest of the problems. When the only nice thing you can say about a game is that it works, well things are rather bleak I am afraid. Gungrave G.O.R.E is, simply a bad experience and one I can’t recommend for anyone, even those with a deep love for the IP it is based upon.

    Gungrave G.O.R.E is a tribute to the first two installments of the franchise and a gift for the fans. The downside is that the game keeps its former weaknesses and struggles to find its place in the standards of today. Its numerous postponements are not without consequence on the production which is almost a generation late. However, the proposal remains rich in terms of gameplay and length. Let's hope that the presence of the title in the Xbox and PC Game Pass will allow it to find the success it deserves.

    The game rests on two iron pillars, the first thing you can see is how the developers loved Gungrave and tried to invest every cent in the game despite the average budget. The second is the gameplay itself and the combat system is a child's dream, because the Bible Epic is happening on the screen.
    The player seems to be dancing with weapons, two pistols, almost like Dante's, and his huge coffin on his back, allow the player to create complete chaos on the screen, because there are a lot of ranged attacks and it all looks mega spectacular and epic.
    The 2002 Gungrave anime is still remembered with warmth in my heart, as is the Ps2 game, and I was very surprised that G.O.R.E was associated with previous Gungrave works, thanks a lot to the developers for loving this iconic character and really looking forward to continuing the new one G.O.R.E, because the game is super and there are no direct analogues on the video game market right now.
    PS, I have already completed the game on XBOX Series X at 1000g ❤

    This game has broken level design.
    Instant death traps, tons of grenades, and a rain of missiles.
    Did the developers really think this was a good idea?
    Motion like PS2.
    Graphics like PS3.
    Gimmicks like Resident Evil 4.
    I can't believe it's a 2022 game.
    The character's face is also weird.
    I'm a Gungrave fan.
    However, I can only think of this as an indie game, not a sequel.
    The stylish part of Gungrave is missing.
    It seems to me that the character's personality has also changed.
    When I thought Gungrave was back, it was another piece of garbage.
    I will never buy anything from this developer again.
    Trust is gone.
    I am very angry that my favorite series was betrayed by this game.
