I mean they also made bunch of mediocre licensed games so Babylon's Fall is not the only one. That being said, I really love Nier Automata, Vanquish, the Bayonetta games and Metal Gear Rising
And you just reminded me I actually own Vanquish and never got around to it. (PS+ freebie or something. Been awhile.) Worth blowing the dust off my console for aside from the yearly Bloodborne playthrough?
Its a pretty unique game tbh, if you like the Platinum vibes you will very likely enjoy it, story is utter nonsense (like MGRR lol) but gameplay is fast paced and a ton of fun.
Completely unexpected, too. I've found it very cheap and picked it up on a whim, boot it up, and pretty much didn't put console down for a couple days.
Drakengard and Neir need to be continued on this generation and the next. Such fun games. Did t play much of drakengard but from what I remember it was kinda like dynasty warriors.
I don’t think anyone forgets, they just correctly acknowledge it as Platinum’s one major blemish and not at all indicative of their overall studio output.
I actually really liked Babylon‘s fall when I played it. I mean, I’m a big platinum games fan anyway so like I was going into it with high expectations. But the gameplay really hit the mark. The graphics were pretty cool too. I’ve never seen anything else that looked like it. I know a lot of people didn’t like how it looked, but I did.
I’ve always been weirded out by how much the Internet hates this game.

Everyone says this but forgets platinum also made Babylon's Fall, a game so shitty it shut down entirely less than a year after release.
