Now that 2b’s dropped, I think I’ve played for long enough to say how I feel about Granblue Rising, and how much better it is compared to the original version.
While not a bad fighting game, lots of the original Granblue felt a bit clunky to me. From shallow mechanics to poor net code, I never got hooked enough to stay interested despite the potential it had. Rising is a different story though. Now it successfully balances being a simple game with some hidden depth, the net code is solid, and the cast feels diverse with lots of room to keep expanding.
Impressed is a good way to describe how I feel about Granblue Rising. Rather than falling into obscurity like Dnf Duel or (sadly) Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, it’s molded itself into a pretty great option for casuals, veterans, and gooners alike.
