FAN ART

Story is interesting and fun.

Skills are cool as alot of them and all have own look and uses.

Controls are easy to pick up and easy to learn.

Humor is very funny and made me laugh especially the commercials so wacky and weird.

World is fun to explore and full of own stuff to find and find such as some plants attack you and much more.

Creatures that you meet on the planets all have own look and behavior to them and even own uses to them.

Combat is basic and feels dull as not as exciting as would of liked.

Humor may not land for everyone I found it funny but playing with friend he found the humor very cheezy and not funny.

Not alot of replayability unless you are trying to get the 100% on all scans and stuff.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall story is interesting and the skills are cool and all have own uses and the controls are easy to pick up and learn and has alot of humor made me laugh often and the world is fun to explore and feels alive and the creatures you meet all have own look and behavior and uses to them. However for £34.99, the combat is basic and feels abit dull and the humor might not land with everyone while I found it funny my friend it didn’t land with him he found it cheezy and no reason to replay if you are not bothered by trying to get 100% of scans and stuff.

Enemies are great as huge amount of them and all have own look and own attacks to learn to actively dodge or counter and all have own weak points that can exploited and much more.

Weapons are impressive as all have own look and own stats to them such as electric attacks and many more and all have own feel to them and can be upgraded aswell.

Attributes are great as easy to understand and can adjust them to make own build to suit own playstyle and much more.

Difficulty options are great as can adjust to suit everyone and still challenging even on easy and nice touch turn on auto attacks so in combat if cant get timing for attacks you don’t have to.

Combat is very fun and fast paced especially you actually have to dodge attacks and more.

Luminas are great as so many and all have own bonuses and own stats and can be swapped out to make new builds or try new tactics.

Alot of content and easy loose hours exploring and trying new stuff.

Can be daunting as alot of mechanics to learn.
