  • SAND LAND is the latest anime adaptation from Bandai Namco, launching on April 26th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC.
    As the Fiend Prince Beelzebub, players embark on a quest to locate the Legendary Spring, putting them at odds with the Royal Army. Though you can run around and punch foes into submission, SAND LAND leans heavily on vehicular combat as you punch through with a tank or stomp around with a Jump-Bot. Other vehicles become available over time, offering even more ways to explore the ruins of humanity.
    While SAND LAND won't overwhelm you with its side quest design or range of activities, the solid combat and fleshed-out main cast make for a solid, enjoyable journey. Watch our review to learn even more about it.

    Looks like it'll be a solid addition to my backlog but even the "budget" $60 price point seems a bit ambitious for what's actually on offer here. I'll gladly pick it up once it gets around the $40 price point.

      @@yarbles66 If I start off a game at Level 1 and I grind throughout the game to level 100...then no, I don't want enemies to be at the exact same level as me because that defeats the purpose of me grinding levels.
      However, if enemies are like 5 to 10 levels behind me, then I don't mind that kind of scaling, but enemies scaling to my EXACT level is something I hate and luckily not all games like this do that.

    In terms of graphics, it's good. It's nicely rendered with cell-shading. The environments and characters reminded me of DBZ world but my biggest gripe about this game is the enemies A.I. level of difficulty in battle. Most enemies A.I. under normal difficulty is poor, to say the least. Enemies tend to just stand there and let you hit them. Enemies do attack but they do it in a "take turn" alternate pattern. For example, when you fight against two or more enemies in battle, you attack one while the others just either stand there blocking or run around wait for their turn.
    I get a sense that this game is for kids but even so, the enemies A.I. shouldn't be so predictable.

    I hate how you have to keep pressing the X button on ps5 to keep the dialogue going. How tedious. Sometimes you press it and the character only delivers one word or a grunt before you have to press it again. I also hate how they keep repeating the same things over and over while you are driving around. Just why? Why? And how he says "I'll keep this. I may need it." EVERY single time you pick something up, or "Here we go" when you climb something. Fifty times. A hundred times. A thousand times. And when you loot a chest the text is so small you can't even read it so you don't even know what you're getting. Oh, and don't forget your side characters constantly telling you how to solve puzzles before you even have five seconds to think about it just in case you are that stupid. If you can even call them puzzles. "Look. There's some junk in the way. Maybe we should shoot it with our tank!" Duuuh. Would never have figured that out myself pal. I hate how, when you get out of your tank and take five steps away from it, it disappears, so now you have to go into the menu again, find it again and produce it again. Why??? These annoying things were a conscious decision that they made. They intentionally put these things in the game for some reason. And don't even get me started on the music. At least you can turn that off in the options menu unlike the endless repetitive banter.
