Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom — PRE-OWNED - PlayStation 3

great game with puzzles and battles, for most ages, games were getting stale for me but this mixed it up a bit. great tale. fantastical. nice and lengthy but not repetitive IMHO.

Good action adventure game unique compared to most games on the market.

It's a buddy adventure in the Metroidvania style (new abilities grant you access to new places). There is a lot to like here. The world is large and varied, with visually distinctive regions filled with lava, ice, pirate ships, etc. The combat is adequate, although highly repetitive. The rate of progression which you gain new abilities is much too low, and even then it doesn't really alter combat that much. Your character also moves way too slow through the environment, an annoyance when the game has you backtrack a lot. The collectible system is both great and horrible. Great because the map tells you exactly what you got and what you missed, so you know which locations to focus on if you are trying get 100%. Horrible because many of the items are only present at night. Since there is no way to manually advance the game clock, if you want to get that collectible, you have no choice but to walk away from your controller for x minutes while the time ticks away. Needlessly irritating. This review probably seems a bit negative, but I enjoyed my playthrough of Majin. It's not a good game, but it's worth a play if you seem interested in the concept.
