    The action feels fun on a fundamental level; A decent moveset that encourages racking up combos.
    Bad- Bland, uninteresting story; Overly simplistic gameplay; You can't fire your guns by holding down the trigger; Clunky and sluggish movement; Extremely linear levels; Repetitive. Thoughts- It’s a shame that Gungrave G.O.R.E has so much working against it. If not for the    Good-

    Thoughts-
    It’s a shame that Gungrave G.O.R.E has so much working against it. If not for the developers’ misguided attempt at making a game that’s too old school for its own good, it could have been a solid enough action experience in its own right, but unfortunately, there’s just too much holding it back, and in ways that are far from easy to forgive. Whether its the bland story, the repetitive and straightforward gameplay, or some of its baffling design decisions, Gungave G.O.R.E keeps finding ways to keep tripping over itself. If you have a hankering for an old school action game that evokes the gameplay style of PS2 era titles, you’ll be far better served looking into something like Evil West.    … Expand

    I decided to give Gungrave G.O.R.E. a try. I liked it a lot. I never tried a Gungrave game before, so I decided to play on Easy. Some levels were pure pain to play but otherwise I really loved Grave, he's a badass. The cutscenes were top, the graphics are not the best but you can ignore that. Some levels were a little repetitive

    this game have some issues when it comes to the controls in the game. The movement is a bit slow, but the storyline in the game is decent.

    Gungrave G.O.R.E seems 20 years out of date.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.

    Gungrave G.O.R.E. is a game that feels stuck in the past. The design is excellent, the characters are fun, but the game just gets so repetitive and boring far too quickly. It isn’t a long game either and it feels like it is. That is not a good sign. I wanted to love it more than I did as I love the universe and have fond memories of those older PS2 games. This just feels like a continuation of those without the modern design and control scheme, and that drags down the fun factor over time.

    Gungrave G.O.R.E is a clever-dumb game that finds ways to turn mindless shooting into an alternative character action model. Sadly, it is brought down by trying to be too smart and muddying its objectives. When it sticks to what makes it enjoyable, it excels.
