Thank you for watching. Are you getting Scarlet Nexus?
goku>
when i can afford shinobi striker i'll get back to you
yes.
Thanks for the hardwork as always Globku - I just think Anime style games need to improve drastically on a whole.
also globku do you have a ps5 or xbox series refrigirator xseries telsa plus
You know what's nice? The fact the other characters actually do something with a gift you give them instead of it just vanishing forever and being forgotten about. It's such a small thing, but damn, I appreciate it so much.
It's a first for me to see this in a game for sure.
I really do love how animated they are outside of combat. From seeing Gemma lifting weights in the gym to Kyoka popping up a duplicate of herself to give her a shoulder massage. It definitely makes the characters seem more alive than your standard game companion just standing around waiting for you to call on them.
Reviews are all over the place with this one. Some love the story and hate the combat and others the opposite.
Which means there’s a chance that you could agree with one of those opinions or hate both aspects or love them both. Really depends on the person but I think it’s at the end of the day worth checking out if you like Astral Chain and Code Vein.
@@Dream-li1gi I thought code vein was dark soulsy?
@@LadyRamkinFP it is, except without any of the satisfying weight or cool gear to unlock. It's like a souls-like that missed the most important things that made dark souls good.
@@MakoHazard and it was really easy to boot. Which is a huge no no for a souls game.
@@LadyRamkinFP I was mainly referencing Code Vein b/c it’s one of the most notable anime fighting games that’s come out over recent years. I wasn’t comparing the gameplay and overall genre. Just the 2 baseline aspects of them.
i love your honest and well structured reviews so much thanks for all the great content
I bought it just to support an anime game where we don't have a silent protagonist. Hopefully that gets the message across
I like that the customization actually changes the way the items in the character looks because a lot of games like this let you customize for actual combat but don’t let you change the way it looks
If nothing else, the game at least is very visually appealing. Both graphics and aesthetics
The enviroments are boring
Gameplay was fun for me in the demo, thought the story was going to be a generic cliche anime plot but your review sold me to pick it up day one
I played the game on hard, and I believe it pays of... it's the first time I did so but every fight even on the demo was so much more challenging since I had to think a lot and do everything on the right time so I wouldn't waste my abilities and die. I recommend it if you wanna try it or is scared about felling that the game will get boring after some time
@@RonaldoVODS can you tell me something about the quality of the story? Like, is it really good or just like not bad, and at what game would you compare it to?
@@chrisraffaello3191 I don't know much about the story though, I've only played the demo/watched 1 ep of the anime. But it seens like it's all about uncovering the mystery by playing with the two characters.
The base of the universe right now seens really cliche, but who knows, if they do it right...
Because it's clearly the selling point of the game, if the story is bad, no one is going to remember it after 2 weeks or so...
@@RonaldoVODS yeah you're right on that
@@chrisraffaello3191 been playing for a week, and all i can say is that its got a "tenet" feel to it. If you didn't like that movies story, chances are you won't like this one.
Like AoT, there's tons of twists throughout the story that completely changes what you've seen/done previously. However, unlike AoT, it's specifically limited to the characters perspective. I've only played yuitos story so far (which is recommended for your first playthrough), and it very much feels like you're just an outsider looking in. You're important to the world, integral for saving it, but the world (and most people) don't revolve around you. I assume it's the same for Kasane. It's really complicated, but i think it's a great story
Ive been looking forward to this game for sure and I'm happy to hear good things about it. Thanks for the review globku might pick this up friday 🤙🏾
I'm very amused by the fact that I watched 2 other reviews that stated that the combat is the reason to play and not the story and here it's the opposite. Personally, based on the demo, I would tend to agree that combat might not be the reason to play alone, but it does open up later on which was my biggest issue with the demo.
Thank you for dropping a review before the release. Wanted to watch one before I put in my order (still want to get the preorder bonuses if the reviews are good)
Imo the combat is so good and dont get me started on the brain field ability and the feels when your friends are like" you dont have to suffer alone"😭😭
This is the only review video I've watched on this game that's worth a shit lol
I think most reviewers are so quick to to dismiss the narrative of a game like this because "anime story bad" is their default setting. And while I had some issues with some of the story beats and one of the characters ( Kasane through the majority of her route ) it's generally very enjoyable and has some seriously rad plot twists and the cast actually have some very meaningful and introspective conversations with each other at times ( Shout out to the giga chad Kagero )
Story has definitely made me absolutely love games before, so while I'm not buying it right away I'm definitely excited to play the game someday!
Have you got it yet?
@@Logansplayhouse7 Sadly no, don't have the money to afford any games right now
Same, it sucks
@@Logansplayhouse7 I’m gonna buy it today! Been wanting this game for a while!
I tried the demo, didn’t like it cause I picked the girl and the combat feel werid cause of her, cause am used to Neir Automata sword, I got the game today, I picked the boy this time, oh boy the games was hella good, I played it for the whole day non stop (I stop about 5 hour through the game) today, the game was a masterpiece I never seen anything like this, you should get it
Funny enough the first episode of the anime got me hooked and now I'll buy the game
So I'm doing an odd thing for this game in my first playthrough. I'm actually playing both characters in tandem by switching between them each chapters. Which is filling the gaps that would be usually missed just playing one story. It seems tedious at first, but the amount of ground you cover as you progress is well worth it. Plus it keeps it challenging switching between playstyles so you don't get too linear.
Globku bro😁 Thank you for the honest review as I'll DEFINITELY be picking up this game on release. My question, to get the BEST storytelling experience, should you play with Yuito first or does it really matter??? I wanted to play with Kasane first but if the story fits better playing with Yuito first than that's fine
2:20
Was the story good.
No spoiler please 🙏
@@imadkhristo6422 absolutely, for an anime game the story was REALLY good
Great vid man! Loving it so far!
Congrats on 200K Globku
If you’ve finished both campaigns which order makes more narrative sense? From your review it kind of sounds like Yuito first is the way to go?
There is alot of skills and combat mix matching once both teams joined together, you can equip 8 sas at once and each companion has 1 combo vision + 1 assault vision(you can manually perform assault with specific accessory) aside from their normal sas skill, so you can do alot of varied combos and moves if you utilized all of them
Solid review. The price is much more invinting by now. It´s a bit different of what i was expecting , but surely worth it. Thanks!!
Someone on twitter definitely recommended playing Kisane's story first and then Yuito's. Will definitely be checking this out this week.
Was going to do that anyway because Kisane's look is so much more interesting to me than Yuito's.
What a shocker. People play the waifu first..:D
I played yuito’s story first and then played kasane’s story. Yuito story made kasane story 5x better
Finished yuito's path on hard. The problem with the combat is you dont have enough enemy types to use different strategies with esp. on the later half when you can use all 9 powers and even up to 4 simultaneously
Sorry if I missed it in the video. What difficulty were you playing at? You said the enemies didn't really challenge you, which may not be a bad thing if it's like DMC and you are styling on them.
Both normal and hard. The option can be changed anytime mid playthrough
This gives a very similar vibe to Astral Chain for me, which I quite enjoyed, so I might pick this up
this kinda reminds me of Astral Chain when that released on the switch but that gameplay was SO much fun.
this is basically astral chain just for consoles who couldn’t get the experience
Wow that’s crazy, the gameplay is what kept me going, you always feel powerful with the TK moves
Oh man, I was hoping combat would feel better in the full release, but after this video I think ill pick it up later discounted
The combat for this game on PS5 is awesome! It works so well with the haptic feedback!
I didn’t start kasane story with new game plus after I beat yuito story so it’s still fun for me. I personally love this game it’s rights after code vein in my top 5 favorite games
Does it or does it not have denuvo ?
This game reminds me a lot of Astral Chain and I love and still play that game. This would be a long shot but would love to have Scarlet Nexus ported to the Switch.
hey globku, are you gonna do some GG strive content? Character guides, ranked matches etc.?
he definitely should
like how he does for DBFZ
Especially character guides
i feel like so many other people do that already that Globku's videos would just be lost in the abyss of TH-cam's algorithm
@@meister4597 i totally understand what you mean. But i reall like globs style when doing guides/breakdowns. even though we have got plenty of creators riding the strive content train right now, i definitely miss some very high quality stuff. not downplaying anybody but globs production quality is just top notch for me.
@@xxkonshixx8041 very true. I like Globku's character breakdowns because I find them more in depth than most other guides because I feel like Globku actually takes time and experiments rather than trying to find things out as fast as possible to put out a video first.
I trust your reviews so i will keep an eye on this
Scarlet Nexus really reminds me of Tales of Xillia. I loved both Xillia games, I'm just starting Scarlet Nexus and actually enjoying it.
How does it compare to Astral Chain if you played it? Funny enough I loved the combat in the demo and the style of this is great so I'm probably really going to enjoy this game.
BETTER THAN IGN
I loved The Demo, so I really think this is now on my radar from your Review, stay Amazing bro!
Salute from UK
many reviewers didn't like the story, first positive i've seen. i'm hyped about this. how many hours is the campaign?
I just noticed a potential spoiler while looking at some text at 4:09 and i don't know how to feel, hopefully it is not what i think it is
Rurikhan brought me here, glad he did. I enjoyed this review more than others because it covers the good and bad of every category instead of deciding which categories are good and which are bad. I'm sold on this game even if it isn't perfect
50 hours later, finally finished one story XD. Also, dunno if it was added on release or not, but you can actually do a 2nd playthrough at lvl 1 while carrying over stuff, just gotta say "no" when it asks to keep levels. If ya wanna go through again without curbstombing haha
But otherwise, yeah pretty much agree with this in entirety. Story is brilliant and i love the cast. And definitely once combat opened up, was pretty epic. And yeah, definitely would want more enemy types and unique mechanics with bosses, maybe. Overall tho, still a blast
11:45 background song sounds like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 title screen song
I know I’m a year late on buying this but I got it literally a few mins ago because after watching this review I watch “[MAD] combo” videos and MY GOD. Im sure globku has seen those videos by now but the combat is definitely nutty towards the middle-end of the game.
I PLAYED THE DEMO A WEEK AGO AND MANN. I CANT WAIT TO BUY
I have a question, are you able to switch between the two storys? As in, if I play with Yuito for like 2 hours, then I decide to play Kasane's story. Will my progress be erased for Yuito? I would try myself, but I'm too afraid I might erase my progress with Yuito.
Since there are save slots, you can play both of the story's at the same time.
@@vrajpatel9860 Thanks😀
I really Had no expectations storywise But right After i started it and Realized how Great the Story really is i was hooked .
Games often Lack Good Stories but this one is like the NieR franchise a exception. Love it.
I think I'd buy it, and I'm glad I watched your review. It was very informative as always and I think the anime will be sick. I'm looking for to it.
Dude you have no idea how many times I have said wtf throughout the story of this game lol completely agree with ur beautiful 3 word summarization
I always hate when the game locks most of your move set at the start of the game. Astral chain for assistance felt like the most bare bones game platinum games ever made till you reach chapter 3.
Already pre-ordered!
Waited for this video like a madman. Hope its good just about to dive in
I thought the combat in the demo was A1. If you think it’s pretty mid what are some examples of top combat for you in this genre? I’ve been looking for top combat options.
Id say code vein had better combat since it has alot of variety and options
@@seniorsterling1064 code vein is trash, the combat system is pretty barebones. It’s literally only 3 slashes over and over, no combos or nothing
@@gustavoroque8830 It's a Souls-like, what were you expecting?
I think the complaint is more that the enemies aren't very difficult to fight, so it gets a bit same-y
@@cordyceps182 even as a souls-like it still wasnt that good. it was pretty barebones as a souls-like game was missing elements that are what make souls-like games fun
I can always count on you to review the anime games.
The combat was the best part of the game for me. Don’t care for story or anything else other then actually playing. And the combat is so diverse and different. This game DOES stand out from other fighting games because of the abilities are so different and so many powers you can use. Some of the enemies were annoying but like I said the combat saves it for me. I just finished it with the guy I give this a 9/10. Btw all i play is fighting games so Ive played a lot, this one is awesome and unique
game informers review was literally the opposite of everything u said lol
What are your thoughts of season 4 Shinobi striker ??
I think I'll wait for a sale, but it still looks good to me.
7:23 Ugh... that impressive next-gen pop-in.
Wish you had reviewed devil may cry 5
Waiting for the Naruto To Boruto Shinobi Stricker Video on the new dlc Sakura Haruno Ninja War
Still till this has the most fun combat system I've seen in an anime game
Interesting to see a pretty much even split in reviewers opinions. Half say the story is really good, but the gameplay and combat aren't good enough.
The other half say the combat is exceptional and carries the game, but the story gets very iffy and falls apart with plot holes and bad pacing in a cool premise.
Guess I'll get it and judge it for myself. This is the first anime style game that I have been remotely interested in. This seems like it would be a solid introduction to the genre for me to play.
Truly appreciate your review on this one! Very well done. I was initially on the fence with this one, but now I think I’ll pick it up.
Looks amazing, However bandai namco has dissapointed me on too many occasions for me to buy this at full price.
same.
Don't know if it means anything coming from a random on TH-cam but it's absolutely worth full price imo really loving the game
@@Mrholysymbol the graphics are honestly amazing like it looks so good, I've bought so many bandai namco games tho and have been so disappointed ;(
Tales of berseria
Nino kuni 2
Dragob quest xi
God eater
Like those are just few, the reason I'm super sceptical is because it's 2 parts of their same story, I was honestly hoping for the create your hero type of story ;(
Ofcourse I'm not saying Its bad cause it look's amazing, is definitely on my radar with tales of arise :)
Need a sakura dlc review for SS!
Are you making video in vacation too ?
Thanks I don’t regret pre ordering the game
@@mjay6245 ?
@@Nero_Halcyon He is right. You just can't trust trailers. They make the game looks good, but many times games are turned out to be hot shit. Just don't give the developers and publishers until you read reviews. It is okay BTW to read negetive reviews and still buy the game- you should know what you buy if it is to your taste, and not based on (sometimes) misleading trailers.
He means Pre ordering games is not the best move. I agree.
Why the fuck now on days people care what other people do with their money?
@@DaakkuuYRS I played the demo that’s why I bought this game
That new Sakura dlc is out shinobi striker
This is an anime/comic book game with some occasional combat in between.
Depois de mais de dois a acompanhar este canal só hoje é que me apercebi que és tuga.
Tou parvo ahaha
I’m thinking of getting the game, it’s the type of game I would enjoy playing, but overall should I get it?
Did u decide to get it
@@zura1. yes I got it a while back and it’s really good
Is it really good? The graphics looks so old though
11/10 for me
It’s very unique for me
And very addictive
Loving the game so far. Your review was the first one I sA to really hype the story and i totally agree with you
It’s a game that focuses more on story than game play gotcha
Man. These reviews for this are super subjective and all over the place. I just watched another who said they loved the gameplay but found the story lacking.
Ngl, I wish most games did that or just give us the option. Idc if you're game is 200 hrs or 10, just because I'm in ng+ doesn't mean I remember how to play it. It discourages people from taking advantage of all the cool extra perks they earned. Half the time I give up & just delete the game & the other half I just end up starting fresh not getting to enjoy the new content 😭.
I'll admit I'm a sucker for eye candy and this game has plenty of it.
What console is this on and how much does it cost.
50 dollar pc or ps4
@@valentds welp, I'm gonna have wait a while
@@donovanhadley2209 it’s also on Xbox but idk if it’s on switch
You can’t telepathically throw stuff. If you’re throwing stuff it’s not telepathy. It’s telekineses
So... the storyline is like RE2 with Clair Leon A B route but with a twist on perspective?
Thts pretty hype
im so glad its a game with a plot and characters i never like when a game has an oc that you have to customize and they don't even speak or do anything so the whole games suffers
naw customization is better.
Interesting, other reviews say the opposite: the gameplay is the best feature while the story supposedly isn't that good.
I also don't understand why they took the demo down, especially since Code Vein still has it despite being 2 years old.
On ps? Because it's still up on Xbox I played the demo a month ago before I bought the game
@@romellpoellinetz7435 On Steam (PC). But I see they now added it back.
I would get this game *IF I HAD A CONSOLE*
I remember when you played shinobi striker
At The End Of The Day, It All Comes Down To Preference🤙🏾. Either It’s Your Type Of Game, Or It Isn’t🤪
Nice review. Wish you Would not had spoiled That Kasane seemed like a bad guy but was not. Kind of ruined the story a little bit for me
I preordered the game and I couldn’t wait
gives me serious astral chain vibes tbh
@@connorwindom2677 no no its not
Actually let me correct that. I thought they were
@@connorwindom2677 from what i saw on google scarlet wasn't done by plat
@@connorwindom2677 it was done by bandai namco
I never see repetitive as a bad thing because every game on the planet is basically repetitive in some way shape or form I have not played a game which has never felt not repetitive so if that's the biggest complaint then that means this game is pretty much perfect my one friends like monster hunter is not repetitive like okay you're not just killing monsters over and over again right
It's cool how polarizing this game is. One camp believes the story is easily the worst part of the game. And the other that the story makes the game. But the consensus seems to be that the combat is really good. EDIT: I just scrolled down and saw Frederico basically made the same comment. My bad.
I feel sorry for those who never played astral chain
So globku the real question now…………is this basically CODE VEIN VER 2?
No
Wow, a Globku video without a sponsor jarringly shoved in. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Y is it a visual novel
Me waiting for this game to release on game pass
Globku, or any long time anime youtube watcher, didn't there used to be an anime youtuber titles ghostrobo? He had long hair. Looked up GhostRobo just now after years and that's definitely not him. Did he change his youtube name?
Well I only know the current GhostRobo. He's been going by that name for over 10 years now
@@ErosMorelli damn. This guy was a bit chubby. Long black curly hair, slightly out of place teeth. Lol. Idk how else to describe him. It feels like I'm going through a huge Mandela effect
@@ErosMorelli holy shit. Dude. I found him. Searched naruto manga review and scrolled and found him. Forneverworld. I just commented on his latest vid asking if he never was once called GhostRobo lol. He seems to have fixed his teeth aswell.
@@asassin0884 Lool how could you forget Forneverworld, he is like on off the OG Naruto reviewers. You been living in a cave my guy hahahahahahaha.
@@WhosthatHotspice no no. I'm pretty sure one of his gamertags was once Ghostrobo. I'm positive lol. I think it was during ps3 days.
Ah that sucks. They should have made the game scale up the second playthrough. Other games have done it.
