GOD EATER 3 Reviews

I don't recommend this. It's very repetitive. After 2 hours we were fighting the same enemies in the same tutorial map over and over

Purchased and downloaded the game a while back and just fired it up for the first time today with great surprise. This game is somewhat racist. Upon creating a character, I found out that you can make your character as pale/white as a cloud but the darkest you can be is RED. As a gamer of rich colored skin, I was offended to see the disdain in having a dark brown/black skin tone selection. Bandai can do better.

Could just be a me thing... but i was getting insanely irritated being forced to do so many tutorial missions that last a grand total of 30-40 seconds... like just let me play and figure things out or make the mission take a few mins and it teaches you multiple things. I want to play your game but you won't let me just play and enjoy it, the NPC Companions kill the monsters for you and you don't even get to explore or learn button combos. Ugh

Refunded the game after few hours, was not for me, seems pretty badly made but i quess some might like this. however one really big question i have is who the hell wrote hugo as a character? didnt get far in the story in the short few hours i played, but holy hell how did you manage to write such an annoying and obnoxious character? most review say the story is good and it seemed pretty interesting, however i could not focus on the story while listening/reading hugos dialogue after you escape from the prison and get on the caravan. like my man spent about 15 years in a cell after being forcibly made a god eater, every non-god eater absolutely hates you, they barely feed you, dont give you medicine when ill and youre constantly reminded that you as a person do not matter, only the weapon matters so if you die make sure the weapon does not get scratched. and while a literal child god eater is dying from infection or something and they dont give medicine to "filthy god eaters" but he refuses to get mad or try to reason with them for some fucking reason??? something about getting mad does not fix their position or something. yet after managing to escape from your owners and tormentors due to storm, you meet the first person who is willing to hire you and does not treat you like human waste, actual person who gives 2 shits about you and treats you as equal? let me get asshole then, Hugo starts speaking really lowly to the only human who has given them any kind of reasonable empathy and dignity. you rather go back to the cell? because honestly i want you to go back there, dude was more friendly and behaved better while in the cell being hated by everyone, the second any non-god eater actually thinks of you as human you become hostile you were in a literal cell for 15 FUCKING YEARS AND THE FIRST PERSON WHO ACTUALLY TREATS YOU LIKE A HUMAN YOU START BEING AGGRESSIVE AND THREATENING? she gave you rooms, soft beds, money and food and you CONSTANTLY speak lowly to her, like who the fuck actually wrote this and approved this? never have i experienced more obnoxious main companion in any game, it honestly was one of the reasons why i refunded this game

I love the first 2 God Eater games, so this game is a massive disappointment for me. Lets get the pros out of the way. Its a great looking game with wonderful anime artstyle that still looks good compared to its contemporaries, showing that artstyle truly does trump realistic graphics when done right. And the combat is really fun, with the burst arts allowing players to truly create a fighting style that suits their own playstyle. The character designs and monsters designs are also very good. To this day, God Eater retain a style that distinguishes it from all other franchises, and this game continues that visual art perfectly. But that's all. Because there is just so much cons in this game that all the positives that it have is buried under the sheer weight of mediocrity. First and most important issue is the game is extremely short compared to the other two. And then the Aragamis... the older games have reuse assets and fights, but in God Eater 3, the roster of monster are so small and some of the Aragami fighting style are so boring, the fact that they keep repeatedly having the player fight the same small roster of Aragami again and again became very grating, very fast, regardless of how fun the combat is. And they once again failed to improve the battle area in the game, as there is no verticality or interactivity that could help alleviate from the boredom of fighting the same monster again and again. And the story, oh the story. The party in this is the least likeable out of the 3 games. What is the point in giving the protagonist dialogue choices when they mean nothing. This game make me understand why monster hunter sticking with the simple set up of just going out hunting for ecological purposes works so well. Because when you try to poorly introduce a JRPG, anime, apocalyptic, human is evil, revolution theme story into the mix and failed to deliver in everyone of the genre, you get this failure of a story. It takes a level of incompetence to make the monster you are hunting, in a game centred around hunting monsters, be reduced to mere roadblocks that is so insignificant in the story, they might as well not exist. If human conflict is the direction the game wanted to take the story, then that's fine, make the players able to fight the threats that have been established in the story, not resolve them in cutscenes. Because the right way to confront oppression, tyranny and genocide is running away with your people alone, accept that its bad luck for everyone else, love, friendship and hope for a miracle? And horrible actions and horrible people does not deserve to take accountability for their actions and need to be offered a helping hand at all times. The message, moral and theme of this story is incomprehensible. The constantly switching theme between crapsack world and primary school level anime ethics gives me whiplash. If newer games in the God Eater franchise means the expansion of how horrible the world and its people is, and the threats growing larger and more unmanageable, while your playable party become less and less likeable, then they should just stop here. And they have the gall to make the final cringey cutscene of the story unskippable. It's cringe. You can't write a good story. Let me skip it. Finally, this game also spat on everything the player and their party throughout the first two games, as all the progress that have been made there have been so reduced in this game, it is in the negatives. Though understandably done to raise the stakes in the story (a horribly bad story at that), its still annoying for players of the previous games in the franchise. It's a shame that such a storied franchise have to be reduced to this. And the fact that there have not been another God Eater game in so long is most likely owed to the failure that is this game. An undeserved trash and a stain in a franchise that still have so much going for it. Disappointing.

its like monster hunter but with faster gameplay

A really fun souls like / monster hunter game. Personally don't like monster hunter, but this aesthetic is very pleasing. The characters are engaging and well developed. The soundtrack is great. Story is interesting. Combat is very satisfying, although not particularly well explained. I had to look up how to use combos and burst arts etc. once you get the hang of them everything comes together. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoyed Code Vein or likes anime.

I play this game alone. It started very easy because AI is really good at the beginning and they shall be good partners through the end. However, they cannot do much damage, so you are still often be a front row because this game emphasize melee attack heavily, and you must still practice to survive anyway. The game will be more and more challenge, once you get alternative missions which you must do alone or just only 1 AI partner which will be more difficult. So you have a choice to challenge in many level as you like. The variety of weapons are really nice, and the skill/effect option make this game replayable (and you must do it for finding rare drop item for crafting). Recommend for 3rd perspective adventure beginner for practice the same genre or advance player who need hard core challenge (in after story mission).

A third in the series and the biggest with an almost open world feel. I do wish they did go open world and where we can explore each region ourselves meeting other people or group of people who seems to survive in the environment. The character are bit Anime esque...naw fully Anime biggest example is Hugo my dude if it were any other game would be the protagonist. But its us the player :) the combat has gotten way better and add new elements from the second game. Weapons system and ways to upgrade your Aragami slaying weapon giving the player the choice on which combat style they'd like or explore. Aragami have been expanded and even further with the introduction of certain Aragami types so there is no shortage of challenges. Multiplayer isn't bad as well and still easy to que up. Probably the second best after the first game in the series I hope in the future there would be another God eater game.

God Eater 3 is easier version of MH games. Formulaic its not that complicated and demanding like MH games and in some cases not that deep as you wished. It still has those details and weapons that you could use it but you don’t need to grind your life out just to reach end goal. In the same vibe the game will not hold back the punches and will put you down pretty fast if you are not careful with your skills. For everyone is different taste and prestige. Some of us like to grind and spend thousand of hours but some of us just want to beat a mission launch another one and be done with a day. Not a bad game and nice introduction to more heavy stuff later on if you willing to try MH series.
