GUILTY GEAR 2 -OVERTURE- Reviews

Guilty Gear running away from the formal. What could go wrong!? So for some reason there are a lot of video game companies that want to take their IP’s and try to make them something their not. This is a fighting game series. I understand when they tried to make it into an arcade beat em up. However they took them and lied to people by making this Guilty Gear into a RTS. Idk why. I get Guilty gear takes big brain to play, but this is such a big departure that is a glitchy and uncomfortable mess. Battleborn lied to its player base about being an not RTS and so did Brutal legends. If your purposely trying to make an RTS or have experience making one that’s fine but this company does not. It does not help that Fan favorite Sin Kiske is the only good thing to come from this game. It also does not help that this spin off game has important information to the story and has the Kingdom Hearts treat ment to make you play the side offs to understand what’s going on. Just watch a YouTube video. This game is not worth your time to slug through boring RTS rounds with 6 different characters. Thankfully GG goes back to the formula after this because I don’t want to ever play this again. 2/10

Game crashed as I was popping off and about to win a really hard mission 0/10

So I only did the main Story so far and its honestly really amazing. It was story heavy and the game play was super enjoyable. I went into the game with 0 expectations of it being good but i was pleasantly surprised by how the game was. Of course a controller is easier to use when playing this game (at least it was for me) and despite being a little shorter than I would've wanted the 20 missions were very enjoyable especially the final boss! Nothing in the game is too complicated and its explained well through the rules and conditions of each mission I'm normally really bad at meeting requirements but the constant A to S ranks were easy to obtain due to its easy functionality. I also really enjoyed the way Sin got more story towards his character I love Sin already from XRD and Strive and other media ive seen from him but Overture gave me a brand new perspective to his character that I also really enjoyed. Learning about Sin before the events of XRD and Strive is so wonderful to me and it really does bring my opinion of Sin higher which makes me excited to see him in Duel Rulers when it comes out in April. His and Ky's relationship was also really nice to see develop during the game too I never expected the start of it to be like that and honestly it really puts into perspective how much has changed over the years/weeks which take place in the game. I like that part a lot in the game it really showed off a lot of character for both of them even if it was only for a short part of the game. Overall I think Overture is genuinely I really good instalment for the Guilty Gear series though it may not be in the conventional fighting game format we know and love Overture ventures out of that safe zone and tried something different which I really do think worked well for it as its a very story driven game. The models and the world map are different in design in comparison to the other games but I also think that works well for Overture and its pretty in its own nostalgic way I really do love this game and its sad that its so short. I briefly played the free mission mode and its basically just the Campaign missions but you can play as the relevant characters in the game (including valentine) and I loved it honestly. I love Valentine so being able to play as her is a real nice bonus! <3 So the main gist of this review is I LOVE GUILTY GEAR!!!!
