Beast of Reincarnation Review

So I’ve rolled credits on Beast of Reincarnation, and honestly, I’m still left with some mixed feelings. There are definitely things I enjoyed, but overall, the game feels like a missed opportunity. The combat is probably the strongest part of the experience. It feels satisfying, especially once you start unlocking more powers, abilities, and skills. There’s a good sense of progression early on, and experimenting with different abilities can be fun. The exploration is also enjoyable, with some nice environments and areas to discover. Unfortunately, as you progress through the chapters, the areas seem to become smaller and more restrictive, which takes away some of that sense of adventure. The OST is beautiful, though. The music was easily one of my favorite parts of the game and does a great job adding atmosphere to the world and certain moments. Where the game struggles for me is the storytelling. The pacing is painfully slow at times, and the story never managed to pull me in the way I wanted it to. The characters also feel pretty dull, the voice acting is bad and I never found myself becoming attached to most of them. On top of that, the game constantly throws the same enemies and bosses at you. Also the skill tree is another major problem. It feels unnecessarily messy, and instead of making progression exciting, it often made upgrading my character feel like a chore. It’s also pretty obvious that Beast of Reincarnation takes inspiration from several other games. I don’t necessarily have a problem with that, especially because there are some interesting and original ideas here, but unfortunately, the game never manages to combine those influences into something that feels truly great. Finally, Beast of Reincarnation isn’t a terrible game. There are some fun moments, the combat can be satisfying, the exploration, and the OST are fantastic. But when everything is put together, the experience feels mediocre. There’s a lot of potential here that unfortunately never fully comes together. Again, It’s not bad it’s just very average. And unfortunately, I can’t recommend it
