Vanquish is a fun, high octane game that I first played back in 2014 on the Xbox 360 (it works flawlessly on PC too). It has a very unique aesthetic, and you can definitely tell that its from Japanese developers (the credits sequence always makes me laugh). I find the story & characters to be very uninteresting as you're just kind of dropped into this world and nothing is ever explained; I could understand if someone didn't like this game. The very over the top science fiction designs & setting could definitely turn some people off, I myself am unsure if I like it but I definitely would say its iconic / unique. Keeping a laser cannon and a rocket launcher with you definitely makes the game much easier when the big robots arrive to mess up your day (upgrade these weapons too). Its also not a game I'd want to play on higher difficulties either. I find this game more fun to be played for short sessions, rocket sliding around the floor & mashing up robots. Is it worth the full price? No, definitely get it when its cheap. For me, its an enjoyable slice 20-30 minutes of slick, fast-paced action. Will you enjoy it? That's hard to say, but if you try it and don't enjoy it in the first hour then its best to refund I'd say. Overall I'd recommend Vanquish as I can see what they were going for & some will most certainly enjoy it, whilst others may find it uninteresting.

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!

its good fun for a while but i found myself kinda bored after that. this is a rare case of enjoyment ramping up along with difficulty, which i appreciate but i cant just sit down after doing chores all day and start driving nails with a hammer through my ballsakc. give it a shot, its pretty good.

April 2024

Asking japanese people what american army movies is like should be done more often. It does feel rushed and it's very clear the developer had to cut a lot of ideas and cutscenes. Sadly they never made a sequel because i would play that so much. It feels like a cult classic the same way mirror's edge does.
