"I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE!!"
On very few occasions does this happen, but for Asura's Wrath my anger boils at a furious temperature. It is almost ready to melt the foundations of my train of thought because of this. What should have been ten billion percent exhilarating, instead, left me blindsided with disappointment and absolute peak rage. A single moment defining the entirety of my experience. What had been a short, yet thoroughly rousing ride, was spat upon. While the glorified hype nature in many ways made up for the lack of proper solid gameplay, and engaging narrative, a true finale would at least make the show worth it in the end. Too bad, that despite everything it threw at the wall, hoping some of the wildness would stick, ripping the true ending of the game and packaging it as DLC can't salvage those few high points. Imagine a world where all you want to see is how some vengeful god is going to get his, only to be told first, you need to replay chunks of the game better. You go to do this very task, only to find that you are gated by a paywall. The disrespect to itself, the player, and the industry at large put on display here forever soured any positive lingering emotions I could have shared with others about this. Now, all I am left with is a desire to destroy. Not for pleasure, but for closure, as I know nothing can bring back what has been taken from me.
We hereby award: The Black Seal of Malcontent
