    Nobody Saves the World offers an interesting shapeshifting mechanic that is instrumental to the gameplay; however, the drawn-out reliance on repetitive quests holds it back from metamorphosising into its true potential.

    A fascinating ARPG with high doses of dungeon crawler that manages to surprise with its curious gameplay and interesting artwork.

    Nobody Saves the World could have been exceptional, but there are certain aspects that are lacking. The expected Drinkbox Studios humor isn’t pervasive enough to keep people playing to see what’s next, the story is negligible and seems like something tossed in to give players a half-hearted sense of purpose, and the repetitiveness of quests gets tiresome very quickly. The positives of the game – the appealing art style, variety of skills and dungeons, and perhaps multiplayer — might not be enough to keep players interested either. That being said, the gameplay and presentation of Nobody Saves the World will undoubtedly win over many people, and it may capture the attention of others for a solid chunk of time.

    Despite the huge variety of moves and characters, this disappointing follow-up to Guacamelee is let down by mindless combat and bland dungeon design.

    Nobody Saves the World is a unique Action RPG with tons of possibilities of gameplay and a strong sense of progression. [Recommended]

    Where Nobody Saves the World finds its sweet spot is when a dungeon rolls up a stout but understandable challenge, requiring a couple minutes of considerate loadout tinkering and then enough fast-twitch gamepad skills to make every shot and strike count. The white-knuckle finishes to these boss fights aren’t a sign your idea barely worked; they’re proof that great video game design, in the hands of an interested and entertained player, can take a happy menagerie of rejects and salvaged parts and make them work together brilliantly. [Recommended]

    I thought this was really addicting and fun at first, but now I'm halfway through and the constant grinding really gets to you.

    it's a good game, fun to play with friends with online co op, and it's butter smooth

    we were playing rainbow six extraction, then felt    it's a good game, fun to play with friends with online co op, and it's butter smooth

    we were playing rainbow six extraction, then felt bored after 1hour, we then tried to play this new game using xbox game pass

    and as an Asian, we don't understand the humour of the story, but we like the settings and battle system, level system, with multiple characters to use

    it's fast pace and leveling up is a little bit fast as well, but I guess it's good for us who just want to play around and have fun

    if it has a good and compelling story telling, and slightly tweak the pace abit with bigger dungeon and map, this will be a perfect game

    but please try this game yourself, it's totally worth your time    … Full Review »
