Fresh Coat of Paint
Game is a remake/remaster of the first Senran Kagura that released on 3DS years back. The changes include shifting from a 2D side scrolling perspective to fully 3D realized world as well as some extras to more or less justify the re-release. Though be warned, if you are into for the fan-service, the main feature was stripped at the request of Sony and you'd be better off with the Steam Edition. That said, my real overall score is 3.5 stars because of this. Its what made Senran Senran in the first place and considering all the other things allowed on the platform, it just feels like censorship than actual quality control but I digress. I still decided to buy it and support the devs as this was not their fault and I much prefer to keep the collection together on console and I'll wait for a sale on PC.

Great game for any fan of the series.
Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal although a remake of the original Nintendo 3DS game, is a fun with plenty of fan-service if that's what you're into, but sadly this version has been censored with the removal of one particular mode. But if you're willing to look past that and enjoy it for the fast-paced fighting action and cute girls, then you can't go wrong with this title.

Good, but Censored in Western Release
SONYs new game dev policies are going to have alot of western games censored. This game is such the case. The Japanese version was left untouched but its had some areas removed. Still a great game but I wont be purchasing a next Gen SONY system. I prefer to choose the content of my games like the adult I am.

Due to Sony new policy the localization team had to remove intimacy mode had been removed while I never cared for this mode it still SHOULDN'T have been removed. Game is still fun and enjoyable.

Solid Remake of the First Game
Yes, the PS4 version removed the intimacy mode. But, looking at the game for what it is, it's a good way for people who never played the first Senran game to experience the origins of the story. Gameplay is fast paced and the graphics, though running on the same engine as Estival Versus, look like a slight step up the previous games. The visual novel cutscenes can go on for a bit too long, however, and the story focuses on a few characters too much, leaving the others a little neglected. Other than that, a very fun hack and slash game.
