Terrific Third Person Fighting in Astral Chain

Astral Chain Review

Astral Chain is one of PlatinumGames' finest acts this generation, cementing itself as yet another stellar exclusive for Nintendo Switch. It doesn't reach the heights of excellence achieved by Yoko Taro's NieR: Automata, but can more than hold its own thanks to an excellent setting, experimental combat and so, so much style it hurts.

The world is colourful, vast and imaginative; Combat is varied and challenging in some excellent ways; Everything oozes anime-infused personality; You can take selfies with cats and dogs;

The camera can be a cruel mistress; Performance while docked isn't good enough;
