This game had it rough from the beginning. Over 20 years after the last game with a somewhat loyal small fanbase, that wanted to experience Gungrave again. I am not one of them but informed myself about the franchise to understand it.
Nonetheless G.O.R.E is objectively a bad game and with all the delays and weird studio composition of korean and japenese people, it has all the jank, bad game design and the simpliest gameplay imaginable nowadays.
First a weird sense of nostalgia for older generations like on PS2 and Xbox360 this becomes stale really fast and is just a shooting range with extra steps.
Despite that i somehow got caught up in the flow of the game from time to time and it was a good time waster with things running in the background.
And you gotta give credit to the developers when they patched the game after release and just cut the worst part of the game: the plattforming sections and some instant death traps.
That and making an extra character playable (which sadly doesn't change much gameplay wise) is kinda rare nowadays and is nice of them.
But you can't fix something that was shit from the beginning, sadly.
Gungrave remains an interesting edgy character and universe with no real good games. Sadge
