The downside to this package is that it really pushed the Nintendo Switch to its limit. Do you like to explore, or do you prefer to stick to the story? Do you lurk in the shadows or maybe entering situations guns blazing? All of these options and more are open to you. The freedom of the open-world has been totally captured and fully realized on the Nintendo Switch.
Your choices affect the way the story develops. The Outer Worlds is a player-driven story, just like the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls games.
You are the unplanned variable, and it's up to you to figure out what is really happening on the planet. Lost in transit while on a colonist ship bound for the furthest edge of the galaxy, you awake decades later only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy the Halcyon colony. If you're interested in Cyberpunk 2077's dystopian visuals and RPG mechanics, The Outer Worlds might be the game for you. Astral Chain is the best action game on the Nintendo Switch, that is, until Bayonetta 3 releases. Platinum Games continues their action game winning streak on the Nintendo Switch. Still, both sections are enjoyable, and that's what matters most.Īstral Chain marks Platinum Games' most recent collaboration with Nintendo, and with results like Bayonetta, Astral Chain, and The Wonderful 101, we pray that the collaboration continues. The juxtaposition between the action-packed sections of the Astral Plane the investigation sections of The Ark might give players some whiplash. Exploring the world is thrilling, and there's a lot of wacky and weird sidequest to get involved in. Players explore The Ark as a rookie detective, examining evidence and questioning characters for clues. It pairs its intense combat with investigative sections that slow things down a bit. Using your Astral Chain, the player tether creatures from the other dimension to hack, slash, and investigate crimes.Īstral Chain is not just fast-paced action all the time. Against the backdrop of dystopian earth, you play a recruit of a special police task force that protects humanity's remnants from interdimensional monsters. If you're interested in Cyberpunk 2077's aesthetic, then you'll find a lot to love here. Astral Chain proudly continues this trend, delivering over the top action gameplay that oozes style and finesse. Platinum Games has crafted some of the finest action games we've ever played.
