God Eater 3 boasts fantastic monster hunting combat and the best visuals we've seen from the series, but hangs onto too many of the previous game's hang-ups.

God Eater 3's core gameplay is spot-on for exciting combat yet its missions are too one-note for it to remain engaging for more than a few hours. As a result, its campaign can feel like a chore and even playing online multiplayer ends up being all too samey.

You've got to be able to put up with a certain amount of dry exposition, lacklustre VA line reading, a whole host of menus, and some obtuse crafting mechanics to really enjoy God Eater 3. But if you want to dive in and read up on all these mechanics, there's a decent-to-great game here.
