This game is a lot of fun. Probably one of the best anime/manga games in recent years.
Both the guns and swords are fun to use, and play pretty differently. Killing titans is just as fast regardless of which you use.
The game is very forgiving on where you actually slice the Titan for it to count as a kill, and you can even do it from the front.
The character customization is pretty in depth and you can do pretty much whatever you want with it.
Graphics look really good for a 2018 game and the game overall looks nice.
Voice acting is good too.
The base building mechanic is easy and satisfying to use.
The best thing about the game is the simplicity and feel of the odm gear. Just hold X on Xbox and you’re done for the most part.
On that topic, the game rewards you a lot of speed and height if you actually use the gear correctly. Some of the reviews here say that the gear is gross to use when climbing a building, but there’s a reason.
You aren’t supposed to climb buildings, you’re supposed to be zipping through the skies, above them. That’s how it is when you use the swords at least.
With guns, it is much more based around zipping around titans, because that’s what the guns were designed to do. Swords have good mobility and damage, while guns have slightly less non-combat mobility, but also very good damage and range.
Finally, you can get lots of different weapons, which can help to fit your play style more.
There are long ranged guns, short ranged ones, fast ones, and slow ones. There are short blades, long ones, durable ones, and really sharp ones. You can also pick a balanced option for both, and upgrade any weapon if you don’t find it powerful enough.
Skills are also very well implemented. Great game. Cant wait for possible season 4 dlc.
