For a sonic title embracing a new formula it surprisingly did well, although it has many shortcomings that make certain elements of the Sonic game-play feel lacking in certain areas especially in Cyber Space. As an adventure era fan not having momentum was pretty annoying, but its bearable, sonic titles don't NEED it but including it would only make it better. Combat was nothing to write home about, was fun to rack up big combos and I feel having a bigger move set might of been better. I would rate this game no higher than 7, I initially thought the open world would be lacking but surprisingly enough there was enough to do that kept me occupied. The inclusion of the drop dash made the open world feel a little better, but by the Chaos Island I already had momentum mods and mods that would fix leveling up speed and rings from elder Kuco installed.

The game is at its peak with the Titan boss fights, from the amazing soundtrack, quicktime events and just the feeling you get when defeating one of them. Im also excited to see the direction Kishimoto is taking for the series, I can see how the lore of this game references previous titles such as Unleashed, the Adventure series especially.

In conclusion, great step forward, may not of been greatly executed but we got something better than forces and a little improvement on the open-zone game-play will make the sequel one of the best in the series.

Great game so far! Net-code is not perfect but its way better than Nick-All Stars! Amazing roster and going f2p will definently make this a much more successful title than other platform fighters on the market.

I know the game is in its early stages but be sure to add in content as much as possible otherwise your golden

[Day 4 Review] Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is truly a fighter for Smash and Non-smash fans alike to give a try.

Wave-dashing is made easy and only requires to push the two buttons at the same time, not tricky timings or anything that is proportional to the weight of a character. There are plenty of new mechanics that the fighting game community are trying to discover and master. The rollback net-code is its main selling point, however the online as of right now is a little bit clunky.

Facing opponents online whether it be in competitive or quick-play is jittery and the movement can be hard to read many of the times. This sort of thing is doable for many beginner players, but when your trying to hit at least 500 rating in competitive mode it becomes a mess because the movement of the game is so fast that many of the times the connection itself cannot really handle it. If you want to get around this I recommend just making a lobby with your friends that you know have solid connections and the game is quite enjoyable.

20 playable fighters for a fighting game at base really is not terrible, if anything its okay since in most fighting games you only really see the top tier fighters in competitive modes (Smash Melee as an example). Sure the lack of sound and voice acting is a little disappointing but they will add it in the future, the developers are very open about there plans for the future apart from releasing information on new characters.

This game has a ton of potential and I know the developers are well aware of this and will continue to surpass our expectations. Keep at it and continue to keep the game refreshing and hyped as much as possible!

Excellent easy to learn beginner weeb rythmn game. Must buy DLC as the soundtracks are OUTSTANDING. Brain power is probs the best.

When it comes to ARK, I believe the game needs some massive performance fixes as it is not fully optimized for most standard mid-end PCs. I have a GTX 1050 TI with a mid-end processor and I had to tone the game down a bit to get a solid 50-60 fps. Even so, ARK itself is composed of different maps like Islands, Ragnnarok and Scorched Earth which gives the game a ton of replayability. You aren't quite sure what to do when you first start besides survive which definetly makes this a good survival game as the game is based on surviving through the consistent ARKs. The gameplay never gets boring as this game always presents you with challenge and you are not completely done until you have done all the bosses and have achieved all the tek armor you can get. The main reason why the reviews remain mixed is because many people have fps issues and I do not blame them, however I do reccomend this game to survival-dino heads and those with MONSTER PCs.

Ok, so before I start I want to get this out of the way, I am not a pro at this game, however I am a veteran when it comes to MMOrpgs, I have played GW2, Vindictus, Aura Kingdom, Mabinogi, TERA, ArcheBlade if that even counts, Runescape and more. And each and everyone one of those games have a market system that uses real life currency and can give players an advantage to get overpowered faster, but what do you expect? Your paying your hard earned cash so of course your gonna be busted, however I probably cant say the same for this game.

------------------------------------------------- The Review ----------------------------------------------

:Brief Summary:
If your able to run this game on high settings it looks stunning, the combat system is amazing and the PvE system is fun and enticing, but is somewhat complicated at least to me as I started doing nodes later on meaning I had no idea what i was doing. You can ride horses, carriages, boats, get slaves to work on nodes for money, making nodes a somewhat requirement to dominate in the BDO market.

:Combat:
Gotta be honest, this game has the coolest looking combat I have ever seen, its very fluid and since I play the ninja it seems to be VERY fast. There is skills to learn, you get an awakening at lvl 56 giving you a new weapon and new skills. Overall I give the combat an 9/10.

:Questing:
Questing in this game is not competely different from other RPGs but for a beginner its a bit strange. At first you'll just be doing quests for your Black Spirit where he usually asks you to kill monsters or summoned demons giving you more AP and XP, or you can choose to do side quests that give contribution points which is required for houses, lodging for workers and getting nodes. So overall questing is 7/10.

:Graphics/Look/Design:
Sometimes i find myself just looking at the world around me in game as its a very graphically intense game so i give it a 9/10.

:Story:
I honestly dont care for the in game story about the NPC's and cities but the game has cutscenes and the black spirits story surrounding you is actually worth paying attention too. I give the story 7/10.

:Final Verdict:
In regards to people whining about p2w, just ignore it, there are mmorpgs that have this problem really bad like maplestory, but in BDO if you really want something you can just grind for it even though it could take forever. And if your doing PvP and you know people are OP just wait till you grind up and get your proper gear yourselves. Honestly if you want a hardcore MMOrpg that has housing, mounts, fishing PvE for most of the game and a somewhat decent PvP system, ignore the p2w negative reviews and purchase this game. And if you dont like it, just refund it, no big deal.

Before I get started with the review, I just want to start out by stating that YES, the games servers have been fixed and ive been playing this game for over 20 + hours and I have experienced no network problems at all.

Is it good or bad?

Well honestly, im guessing this game has mixed reviews because most of you probably bought it when the game was still relatively new and the servers were still horrible as they were peer to peer, ever since they got their dedicated servers its a perfect game.

But what about the gameplay?

Well gameplay wise, I beat the story and I have to say, if your gonna play this game, completing the story is a requirement as you get to participate in faction war for free loot and the story is actually really well done. The fighting mechanics are really fun in my opinion as the classes have their own moves once you learn what each and every character is capable of it is possible to counter the characters you think are "Overpowered".

Should you play this game?

Well if you have a really GOOD PC definetely consider buying it, for 15 bucks its really worth it, in fact I got my first character on the second day (Orochi). If you put time and effort into this game you can learn the mechanics or just watch online videos of how to do your class. If you are a medieval nerd like me you will definetly end up loving this game like I did or if you just love sword fighting games I defintely reccomend it..

I personally reccomend this game to anyone who has at least 1 friend who will play the game through with you. This is a game where you need at least a friend or two to just play through the game, and trust me you wont regret it. I wouldnt call it a MMO, its more of a play with friend sort of thing although it does count as a MMO. Gameplay can get tedious in the first town (Rocco Town) but later on the game is quite enjoyable. I have 30 or so hours on the EN but played JP for around 200 Hours and their are massive changes, so heres my summary.

Gameplay:

8/10 Like any other MMORpg the gameplay does get boring after a while but this game refreshes it by when you hit a certain level your character gets a awakening or advancement that changes their appearances and changes their playstyle pretty well. For example my class the Solumn Sword, usually has 1 sword but gets 2 and plays faster.

Story:
10/10 Has a great solid story with a in the works anime coming to us in the near future.

Online Servers:
5/10 I would call this a closed beta so im letting them off on the srvers being bad, i try not to let servers make me hate a game because gameplay to me is all that matters. If you really hate the servers on EN try JP. But i have experiences quite a few server difficulties but they havent made my gameplay experience any worse.

Content:
10/10 This game has to much content honestly. Nuff said besides that they traded the companion system with the Akashaka card system. I dont know what happened to the housing system however when i played back in 2015-2016.

Conclusion:
I highly reccomend this game to anyone who has friends who love the MMORPG Anime genre. If your one of those people who hate Anime typed things then do not play this game. This is a game for those who want a nice long game that has a exciting ride for the players.
