The embargo for testers of Beast of Reincarnation has been lifted. With over 50 reviews, it becomes clear what players particularly liked – and what problems the game brings with it.
How is Beast of Reincarnation received? Numerous ratings for the game are coming in on Metacritic. Depending on the platform, the title receives a different rating:
- On PC, the game currently settles at 72 out of a possible 100 points. This rating is based on 27 reviews.
- On PS5, Beast of Reincarnation can gain one more point, landing at 73 out of a possible 100 points. This rating is based on 52 tests.
- For Xbox, only three reviews have come in so far, which is too few to draw a final conclusion. It could be that not enough tests are coming together here.
However, the other two platforms already give a good impression of how the game from the creators of Pokémon is doing.
Beast of Reincarnation has similar weaknesses as Pokémon
What is well received? In the reviews, the hybrid combat system is especially praised. It offers fast-paced real-time action battles but also has a special menu that slows down time to give commands to the wolf companion Koo. Thus, the battles are a perfect combination of both.
Speaking of Koo: The protagonists duo is also a highlight of the game. The synergy in combat and the emotional bond between the two add something positive to the game.
The game world is simply breathtaking. Although this is an apocalypse that wipes out humanity, the beautiful forests and flowers provide a wonderful contrast.
What is poorly received? Unfortunately, Beast of Reincarnation struggles with similar problems as the Pokémon series. Back then, it was the miserable technology that caused a huge uproar. In Beast of Reincarnation, it is at a different level, but many testers find the game on PS5 somewhat softened and feel that it does not always meet modern standards. The 60 fps performance also suffers noticeable frame rate drops in open areas.
Regarding open areas: They sometimes feel somewhat empty and lifeless. Outside of boss battles, there is a lack of different enemies. Within the boss battles, the camera perspective causes chaos.
