The Wonderful 101: Remastered

Easily the best 3D action game I have played. By having a fixed camera angle, it removes the worst part of these games (fighting the camera) and replaces it with an Okami-esque drawing mechanic, which is able to be used in real time unlike in Okami. The combat is easy to get into due to weapons having small movesets but the skill ceiling is high due to there being many different weapons allowing for complex and creative combos. I would recommend it to anyone that enjoyed Devil May Cry, Bayonetta or Okami.

“If you think there might be something fun in it for you, I'd like you to trust your own curiosity, and just jump right into the game. It's a once in a lifetime game, I think. There are a lot of games that I'm glad I played, and I know that this game will be one of them for you.” (Hideki Kamiya)

Wonderful! - This is a weird ass game. Pikmin mixed with a character action game is a hard sell, and the game has a lot of weird quirks that honestly make playing it for the first time a much rougher experience than one would expect from a Platinum game. However, if you put the time into it, and get to learn the mechanics there's so much insanely cool stuff you can do despite the game having such a simple movelist. Having access to every weapon within seconds is such a cool concept and is executed with a wonderfully funny and loving parody of Sentai. However, this is a guide game, there are some secrets that are, and I'm being generous, complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to find. You will need a guide for 100%. However, the story, gameplay, vibes, and music are all fantastic! However, I highly recommend going through the effort to download the mods that stabilize the framerates, and allow you to use the original soundtrack. Also there's a CE mod if you downgrade to 1.2 which adds a whole bunch of stuff that should honestly be in the base game. Also fail some of the QTEs in this game, they're great.

As the name implies, The Wonderful 101: Remastered is a port of the Nintendo WiiU game, which itself was a sort of spiritual successor to the Viewtiful Joe series from Platinum's predecessor Clover. I played said WiiU version years ago, and while I did finish the story back then, I never went as far with it as I have with Remastered (for instance, I only ever beat the game on Very Easy and never found all of the files). I remembered having fun with it back then, but I had forgotten just how enjoyable and delightful the game truly is. But before I get into the actual gameplay and why I recommend it, I want to give a few heads up to anyone hoping to give the game whirl: 1. I HIGHTLY recommend starting on either Very Easy or Easy. Not only do your unlocked characters, stats, abilities, etc. carry over for each mission regardless of difficulty, but the difficulty spike from Easy to Normal is bafflingly large. And with the unusual gameplay style and approach to introducing mechanics, starting with Normal is like going to be a lot more stressful than may be seen as reasonable. 2. If you're someone who likes to hunt down secrets and collectables, this game has tons for you to track …

One of the best action games ever made once you get a hang of its mechanics.

Wonderful... Phenomenal from start to finish. A letter to anything Super hero related the references are vastly detailed from Super Sentai to devil may cry, Viewtiful joe to Fix it Felix The Wonderful 101 has it all. The story is marvellously told as you are gradually introduced to the cast and their abilities. Goosebump inducing battles and tight controls for the most part. I was pleased to learn that this game is free from it's confines of the Wii U and are the awkward Wii U touch screen gestures instead you do them with the right stick which feels so much more natural. The gestures effectively change your unite morph powers, it gets a bit of getting used to but once it all clicks you will dominating your foes. Graphics are simply beautiful and it so nice to see this running at 60 + fps with no drops. Everything flows seamlessly from cutscene to levels to battle climax all accompanied by a soundtrack that is movie worthy, yes it's that good the soundtrack is worth a purchase on it's own. Expect a final battle of biblical portions and (Spoiler Alert) possibly the best attack quote of all time: "Final Ultimate Legendary Earth Power Super Max Justice Future Miracle Dream Beautiful G…
