Eiyuden Chronicle: Risng Fetch Quest Hell.

This is one of those dangerous unfortunate cases where overall gameplay loop can fundamentally ruined, a visually charming game.
The characters, visuals may are excellent, but the gameplay loop is one of the worst I've ever experienced in quite some time.

Almost every mission is a fetch quest of some kind, even if the game tries to hide it at times.
Now I don't mind doing side quests in my games especially JRPGs and Open Worlds, but they to be interesting, diverse let alone rewarding such as special gear, character bond increase etc.

Eiyuden Chronicle Risng fails in every point as the game designer's that made these fetch quest have no idea of what fun and rewarding is.
You just do a bunch of basic crap such mining Ores, picking up plants, looks of a person lost items, kill a suboss, to my personal favourite, make a sandwich.
That is frankly insulting to the player.
This issue only amplifies with the cunky controls from a otherwise braindead easy game and lack of exploration freedom.
What could have been a charming relaxing game, just ended being a overpriced, unsatisfying chore.

The only saving grace of this outside the admittedly strong character and retro aesthetics is that you the game is free on Xbox Game Pass and Playstation Plus Extra subscriptions.
Imagine paying over £30 for this just to find out it's a fetch quest simulator.
That would be outrageously awful.

I hope the developers for Eiyuden Chronicle; Hundred Heroes will learn from this misake.
Side quests should be fun rewarding and interesting, not boring, pointless, unrewarding filler slogfeasts.

As someone who's a fan of JJK, this hollow cashgrab feels like a massive disservice to the franchise.

Just another pathetic low budget and stiff hasbin 3D fighting arena, with no soul, substance and passion.

Everything wrong with anime games.

Finally beaten the game and I can confidently that it's not only the best Spider-Man game, but also one of the best things to come out from this franchise.

It definitely perfectly the heroic world of the Spider-Man world in spades.
The combat was fantastic, liked majority of the cast and for the most part it's well paced and written well.
Not to mention the game feels ultra smooth with that consistent 60FPS.
It made me tear a little with the ending of Act 1 and 3.

Although it has some flaws.
As fun act 1 was, it didn't much story direction and felt like filler half of the time.
The stealth levels featuring Miles and Mary Jane wasn't well executed and they actually crippled the fast but well paced nature of the story
Not to mention they were boring.
Act 3 is a jarring difficult spike that makes webswing a living hell due to a amount of snipers and RPGs on top of building, not to mention majority of the enemies just becane bullet sponges especially in higher difficulties as well being super aggressive and kinda unfair with the jetpack enemies specially.

Despite it's faults, Spiderman Remastered aka Spiderman PS4 is a great and well polished game.

Will be playing the DLCs later this year, but for now I want to play Miles Morales in preparation for Spider-Man 2.
