Astral Chain is a unique and beautiful game that excels at what it’s trying to do. It’s one of the best games of the year so far, and it makes me excited to see what the studio will come up with next.
Despite a meager story, Astral Chain is still packed with incredible action.
If only more big-league developers dared to be this bonkers, the industry would be that much more untamed.
PlatinumGames' Astral Chain is the most innovative action games in years and certainly one of the best games of 2019.
