When I began playing on hard difficulty, I felt that was the way the game was truly supposed to be.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Ragebounds' combat is simple but effective, with cathartic gameplay slicing up demons by the dozens.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While i'm a little disappointed there isn't more story content here (the game ends pretty abruptly, and I think it could benefit from another act to really flesh out the game's climax), what IS here is fantastic, and absolutely worth your time.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The pumped up soundtrack really fit the vibe and while it's not something i'd listen to outside of the game it was a very nice companion to keep the pace.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
With top notch pixel art graphics and fluid gameplay, you are driven through an easily likable game which is sure to be one – if not the best – game in 2025 in terms of retro gaming.
