I also manage Mecha Damashii and do toy reviews over at. While the Tokyo Game Show was quieter this year and all the big announcements were handled online beforehand, it’s great to finally get hands on with upcoming Japanese games again.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. It’s really nice to have the Tokyo Game Show back again though, as it’s been a while since gamers had to descend upon Makuhari Messe and check out what’s coming. However, I missed out on Sonic Frontiers, which I will hopefully get to play tomorrow. The only other criticism is that the main character, Frey, is far too chatty.Īpart from the above, I played quite a few other games, with the upcoming Snufkin game being really quite charming. I still want Forspoken to be good, but at the moment the game is held back by some weird interface choices on how you access your arsenal.

It’s also another open world game, which is inevitable at this point and while I still get Soukaigi vibes here, the “boosting” we saw in trailers is more to do with the running/parkour setup rather than anything vectored. The various spells, from ranged to melee, work well enough but trying to select the right ones on the fly, as well as switching between loadouts, takes a bit of getting used to. L2 and R2 handle the spells, with both together unleashing a powerful attack. I have been looking forward to playing this for ages and while the game did look nice enough and the gameplay was decent, the whole setup with switching between spells/weapons is definitely ungainly at present.įrom what I played, you have differing loadouts within which you can customise the spell selection. 'Forspoken' has a somewhat awkward interface.
