June 2025

This game is written by a 12 y/o who just learned what curse words are and saw the Micheal Bay Transformers movies for the first time and I mean this in the best way possible. Every 4 seconds a character valiantly sacrifices themselves in the coolest way and then is completely fine because of course they are. The characters in this game will go “finally we get a break looks all clear” after every fight and then yell something like “F**K DAMMIT” as 1,000 evil robots show up for the 6th time on this mission. The main character uses the highest form of technological achievement in history to store his Malboros because he’s just that cool. Shooting your own allies and blowing them apart is completely acceptable to all parties present. Platinum has done it again.

April 2025

Vanquish is an insanely fast-paced, thrilling third-person shooter that delivers pure, nonstop adrenaline. The action is relentless, stylish, and flawlessly executed, offering one of the most exhilarating gameplay experiences in the genre. Sure, the story is cheesy, the dialogue over-the-top, and the characters are straight out of an action movie cliché. The campaign is also on the short side (around 7-8 hours). But none of that takes away from the fact that Vanquish is a complete action package—tight, polished, and a bold, fresh take on third-person shooters.

Jan. 2025

AMAZING GAME. Pure adrenaline, awesome mechanics, phenomenal visuals and designs; overall a masterpiece of a game. The only letdown aspect of the game has got to be the story; the game was full of LONG ASS cutscenes (which eventually gets repetitive and boring) with little to no character development, in addition to the overall story being 'decent' at best. Albeit, as mentioned earlier, the mechanics of this game are otherworldly - one of the best in any shooter game... Hell, even by today's standards, this game looks pretty good! I'd totally recommend this game if you were a fan of Dead Space, Metal Gear Rising and Bayonetta. Truly a hidden gem; ONE of the most SLEPT ON games of all time.

Dec. 2024

For years, this game proved a Gears style game not made by Epic could be good. There was a dark time when over the shoulder shooters were quite uninspired, and this was a bright, shiny, anime gem in those dark times. A brilliant game, and everyone who likes third person shooters should own it and play it more than once since Sega NEVER MADE A SEQUEL.

Oct. 2024

Vanquish is a standout third-person shooter that offers an experience like no other. Even the end credits are a blast, literally—you get to shoot asteroids with the developers’ faces on them! The game even lets you smoke to distract enemies, adding a quirky touch to the combat. The campaign is fantastic, but what truly sets it apart from others in the genre are the impressive gameplay mechanics. The slow-motion AR mode and power slide are game-changers, making you feel like a badass. It's incredibly satisfying to pull off trick shots, like detonating grenades mid-air, dodging bullets in true Matrix style, or even taking down a Romanov with their own missile. Visually, the game holds up well for a title released in 2010. The graphics and art style are great, and the gameplay is smooth and engaging. Vanquish is a hidden gem that deserves more recognition. However, be warned: the tactical challenges are tough. I planned to write this review once I had 100% completion, but I’m not sure I ever will. Despite that, I've savoured every moment of Vanquish, and it has earned a place among my favourite games. Platinum Games, please give us Vanquish 2!
