Goukosan 2,256 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Euro gamer review - Essential "Sprawling, varied and constantly stylish, Astral Chain is a very different breed of action game that ranks with Platinum's best." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,238 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Very happy that it appears that this game has a lengthy single player campaign. And when did we learn about this game? February of this year? Barely 6 months ago. I thought it might've been a rushed game because they scheduled it ahead of Bayo 3. Turns out this was another secret banger Platinum had been working on for Nintendo. At this point, Platinum is only putting their best stuff on Nintendo's platform. They're basically a second-party studio for Nintendo. Back in 2017/2018 they were clearly teasing Wonderful 101 stuff, so I even expect a sequel to that and we STILL have Bayo 3 coming. Platinum and Nintendo are in a very good spot right now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,238 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Did you also hear from Digital Foundry that Link's Awakening latest demo at Gamescom appears to be running at 60fps except for some odd dips whenever a treasure it opened or a text box appears. So, it definitely appears as if they are optimizing the game, and its well on its way to being a slick 60fps game. I think out of all of these games, I really do want to play that one quickly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
