The Boys: Trigger Warning

I didn’t enjoy my time with the game. Its technical shortcomings make it feel like a chore to play. That said, some of the powers, especially telekinesis, are fun to experiment with.

The Boys: Trigger Warning is a great window into the messed-up world of The Boys that puts characters into the shoes of a new character with a tragic story and a fun set of powers to unleash on the world. Gameplay is fun and easy to get into and it feels oh so successful to master.

While the stealth sequences fare better, the result is a game that is pretty compelling when it’s telling a story but slows down too much when it’s trying to let you live out your power fantasy. While it’s a must-play for diehard fans of the TV show, those struggles make it harder to wholly recommend to those unfamiliar with the series.

In the end, The Boys: Trigger Warning is merely fine provided you can live with its limitations and odd choices.

The Boys: Trigger Warning is filled with some great moments and remains faithful to the show, with super powers that are a lot of fun to use when facing the various enemies.
