Also frustrating were boss battles that ranged from incredibly easy to Deadman Gold impossible for me to plete.I ve been very careful not to use the word playthrough in this review due to the fact I was unable to plete Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance because of an exceptionally challenging boss fight. I attempted this particular battle eight times using a variety of different strategies. Despite this, I was unable to progress past this point.

There may be some reading this who will say I should have tried more times to plete the boss battle, or kept attempting it until I lucked out and beat it. To that argument I will say this: I play video games because doing so is fun. Because video games provide me with an enjoyable distraction from the seriousness of real life. As soon as a video game starts feeling like work to me, as soon as it starts feeling like a frustrating and unrewarding challenge, it s no longer fun and has stopped being enjoyable.

When I reached this particular boss battle and failed to plete it despite eight tries, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance became work to me. It was no longer enjoyable, and despite it having some impressive elements, it was no longer an experience I wished to continue.Whilst Metal Gear Rising Revengeance boasts an impressive score and an excellent new game mechanic in Blade Mode, the game falls well short in terms of gameplay and overall enjoyment.

If you re a fan of the series, perhaps you will see a glittering diamond where I saw a zircone. Perhaps you ll persist with what I found to Deadman Mode Gold be frustrating and unrewarding gameplay. Sadly for Raiden, my experience with stepping into his heels was not one I enjoyed. Give the game a try if you re a huge fan of these kinds of games, or have some spare time and cash in between releases. Otherwise, save up your cash for something else.
