    There was a lot of hype building up to the Astral Chain release. In my opinion, it lives up to it. Introduces an original gameplay mechanic during the action sequences that thoroughly impressed me. Great story line, There are times where the battles can get a bit repetitive, but the side missions and character interactions in between them are extremely refreshing. Has the makings of a long running series. I recommend.

    Year again another Switch Exclusive and must own title. Set on with this one with an open mind and play style unique in itself. I don't want to run the story but it's worth the price of admission. Highly recommended! 9.5/10

    Very nice game overall. The combat is fun and the graphics are pretty good. The story was pretty good as well, although it was a bit predictable at some point. Still, would recommend this game.

    Only scratching the surface here with about 7 hours logged, but this game is a must for any fans of Bayonetta or Nier: Automata. Lots of action. A pretty decent storytelling effort. And it looks incredible for a Switch game.

    I didn’t have high hopes for this game but I actually had a great time with it. I finished the story a while back but there’s still more to do. I definitely recommend it for those who likes action adventure games.

    I've never played any of the other games made by this developer, but this game makes me wanna try them all. Very fun combat, and is full of small little side missions that mix things up. Also a cool art style and setting.

    If you're a fan of Platinum games, you already know you're in for a good time. For those that don't know the company, it's great frenetic action sequences with a fun story. Worth a pick up for any Switch owner.

    Great game - lots of challenge and an interesting setting. The story-line flows well and you never feel like you're running out of things to do. The combat is similarly challenging.

    This game is better than I expected, but it's not without its flaws. Great story, graphic style, music, battle mechanics, and characters. Sometimes, the missions can get a little redundant or stale. The Astral plane is a neat concept and fun to explore, but it all looks the same. I'm not a fan of being graded at the end of each mission either. A Platinum Games staple.

    This game is full of action just like Platinum Games other title, Bayonetta. It is a Switch exclusive and a ton of fun. I paid $50 on sale for this title but highly recommend it at any price.
