Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance (PC)

Hello there fellow readers you all must be wondering why am i doing this review  as we all all know it was launched months ago , but only few of you might know that it was recently launched a few weeks back for PC as well , so this is review to help guiding pc gamers.


Story/Plot

Well the importance and influence of the plot in the game is similar to that of you find in a porn i.e. none at all. According to me they have established a plot just to form the base of the game , during the whole 5-6 hrs i spend on the campaign which includes Additional Challenges and two dlcs which is actually very short for a single player only game and its filled with melodramatic & cheesy cut scenes which to be honest i liked a bit they add a certain flavour to otherwise boring plot. I wouldn't say it was complete nonsense but a total lack of effort can be seen and one of the thing noticed that they were trying to force us on showing how awesome is the action of game which according to me was an overkill. In summation the plot is not a total trash but its no ivy league either a little effort on the plot with a lengthy campaign or additional gameplay content would have made this game a great catch.

Gameplay

The gamplay structure is perhaps the most redeeming feature of the game containing high blood and gore action with complete fluidity thats gonna hook you up with the game , it sorted reminded me of 'Vanquish' its a pretty old game but still kick ass awesome , anywho the thing i was saying that high octane action provided by this game is great fun and increases the replay value although i would admit that things go pretty weird  sometimes which especially includes bizzare enemy AIs. 

            

  Well to the core its a face paced action Hack n' Slash with a minimum amout of platforming which is kind of a bummer and for a game which focuses mainly on gameplay i expected some wide range sweet combos and cool finishers but i got limited moves and finishers which gets rehashed and very repetitive over time , here the button mashing action is fun but i expected more. The main key factor of its gameplay includes  the blade time where you go into super slow motion and chop off enemies or parts of enemies any way you want based on vertical and horizontal cuts , it can be a little difficult at first to get hold of it but after  you master it is very cool and effective and combining it with a ninja sprint and you can perform some sweet moves. Now i' ll expand about the bizarre part of the game which i mentioned before Mainly it includes creepy and sort of gross mech droids where one is more weird than before especially bosses of the game who are very cheesy but don't be mistaken the game offers a wide variations among the boss battles where every boss had to be dealt with different measures and they are one the major highlights of the game, sometimes it gets hard to take this game seriously as i blurted many a laughs after seeing different characters, there is also a creepy way to regen health and gain upgrade points is by harvesting the part of  mechs which sort of makes sense since you are also a half mech . As i mentioned before that i loved the action part of the game & to be honest they are the best part of the game but at some points it really feels like they overdid by constantly shoving it on our face to hide the fact that there is not much content and variances present in the game and by taking a look at characters i personally think that they were trying a little too hard to show awesomeness of their character by pulling off a little too insane maneuvers i mean seriously a guy throws a huge robot more than twice the size of a T- Rex  with one hand and then chops it in two half with a tiny sword and acts like it was just another boring day at the office, i really liked the swiftness of the character but not everybody has the charming Attitude of 'Dante'.

If you are reading this review you must think that am pretty confused  and contradicting my own words or i just don't like this game. The thing is the game is pretty good and i enjoyed it but the game itself tries to negate its +ve factors by over doing it.


Visuals/ Sound FX

Speaking visually wise game looks excellent when i was about to start the game i was very cynical as how its gonna compare with other games having a.blast off with dynamic DX 11 visuals but it handled it nicely the game looks stunning especially when you are chopping of hordes of enemies and the port to pc version can be defined   a success as the game doesn't requires sky high configs so most of you will be able to play the game with a mid range system at max settings in 720p.


Voice acting done by cast was cheesy but i seem to like it and as goes for soundtrack or any dynamic sound effect, i tried to find but there was'nt any .



Final Words

Metal Gear Rising : Revengeance is mediocre game trying a little too hard to go AAA. The game has bland plot , Great fast-paced Action,good visuals and cheesy characters but extremely low gameplay content,  If you love & care only for an action packed game i would suggest that you get it right away , otherwise wait for prices to go down.
