The Wonderful 101 Remastered Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

The Wonderful 101 released on the Wii U back in August 2013 and was a great original game from Platinum games. This latest remaster also available on Switch and Steam plays well and runs smoother. While the original was a dual screen 720p experience, this game runs at 1080p on both PS4 and Switch, and up to 4K on Steam. The resolution boost is great and if you have a PS4 Pro or PS5 you'll get a fairly smooth 60fps experience. While it would have been nice to see this game run at 1440p or even 4K 30 on PS4 Pro (or better with backwards compatibility on the PS5), this game is incredibly fast paced and a great experience on any modern console (Switch included). The gameplay has you controlling a group of characters with typically one as a team leader (Wonder Red). You'll pick up additional characters as you play, up to 100, yourself controlling them being the 101. This remastered edition also features a few bonus characters including unlockable through codes characters like Platinum's own, Bayonetta. Abilities were controlled through wipe patterns on the Wii U GamePad's touchscreen, but are not a series of movements with the joystick. While different they are intuitive and work well. All around if you haven't (or have) played this game and are fan of Platinum or fast paced fighters, with puzzle elements, then I can easily recommend picking it up. There should also be a demo on Playstation Store, Switch eShop, and Steam if you want to give it a try before you buy, or just see which you prefer it on.

Platinum Games is popular for properties like Bayonetta and their work on games such as Transformers Devastation. This is a weird game to say to least but worth playing.....definitely for fans of Super Hero or Japanese Sentai (Power Rangers) type shows. Here you control dozens of heroes and have to use a combat by commitee to take down enemies and large creatures as well as advance the story in the game. You can create giant fists, weapons and paths using all of your heroes to combine. Sometimes the controls can be weird which is why I knock it down a star. Sometimes, it felt better on the Wii U but whether for Switch or WiiU, it can feel weird to pull off certain moves as you fight some of the controls in the heat of battle. Still, it is worth a pick up for the price and with practice, you do get better. Recommended for fans of Super Hero shows and looking for something different to play.

This game is a remaster of a Wii U exclusive title. It’s definitely worth the purchase. Controls take some getting used to but the game is really comical and has some great action in it. It’s made by the studio that did Viewtiful Joe.

Great game, very flashy but some things contribute to not getting a 5 star. Game its not for everyone, its very fast paced & not everyone likes that. But the worst aspect are the horrible controls & camera angles. Great funny game that could have been perfect.

This game is a lot of fun, but was clearly made for the wii u. I haven’t played more than an hour into the game, however I have been having a bit of trouble using the touch pad or the right analog stick for the formation mechanic that is better suited for a large touch screen.
