Sand Land's fantastic vehicular combat and adherence to the source material are let down by bland and repetitive stealth, melee combat, and mission design. #gaming #sandland #gamespot
they hate Akira Toriyama.., this game is noway a ffing 6/10.., the last Dragon Quest Monsters is arguably a 6-7/10, but definitely NOT Sandland.. more a 8 or 9/10 (especially if you enjoy Akira Toriyama art & writing.., but eitherway a 8/10 minimum!)
The only game that made level scaling fun was skies of arcadia. They hsd these like assassins you could i think optionally fight muptiple times and they would get very challening to beat but everything else was normal levels it made it exciting
definitely better than 6/10 .. and definitely better than the last Dragon Quest Monsters game too (which I worried Sandland would be about, but Sandland is definitely a few notches better.., in all regards)
I don't like when enemies scale to your level. It makes upgrades and grinding worthless in my opinion. That can sometimes make it or break it for me. 🙏🏽 I'll probably get it when it's on a deep sale.
Thanks for the thoughtful review and helpful insights! Everyone out here focusing on a number score at the end, but I find your perspective to be the most important part of the review! Keep up the great work ❤️
Somewhere in the 7-8 range is the objectively correct review score. That said. $60 seems like an ambitious price point for what's on display. I'd feel more comfortable paying somewhere around $40 for it. Looks like one of those games I'd love to have in my backlog and I'd enjoy once I got around to it but not something I need to rush out to get.

I may get it later. A 6/10 is not a horrible game, just one that feels incomplete. Not every game is going to be a hyped big release and that is fine, just means you might buy it on sale.
6 out of 10 in rating for me. 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.
Seems like it's just an ok game. But that's cool. Just might wait for the price to dip a little bit. The original manga was tight even if it was short-lived.
@@Arnell_Long Well yeah but that means they must still be doing something right then. Either way, saying Toriyama "wasn't a good writer" sounds ignorant considering the impact his stories have even now.
@@PsychoMagnet I understand and no matter how bad we think something is, there are people who love it...I thought the Twilight series were bad movies, but millions of people liked it. So yeah, the impact these things have on people is definitely real.
Tomorrow is a really awesome day for gamers defienitily PlayStation gamers like me, because tomorrow is the Relase Day of a 2 Great games Stellar Blade and Sand Land, defienitily can't wait i'm so excited for the Legendary Anime Artist Akira Toriyama manga's game Sand Land what I need to buy in tomorrow the Relase Day, but before that I'll watch Sand Land Anime on Disney +, I respect Toriyama's work that much I'll watch the Anime and play the Game too. RIP the Best Anime Artist in History Akira Toriyama! 😢❤🌏🌍🌎🏝🏞🤴🏼👩🏼🏭😈👨🏻🛺🐉🦂🏜🌃

They had to say Toriyama is great 10x in the intro so people wouldbt get mad at the 6 lol
He says mostly positive things about the game. Didn’t really sound like a 6 to me. Maybe a 7 or 8.
That's OK the show is actually solid and worth a watch to honor him

I hate level scaling. If enemies just level with you, then what's the point of leveling?
The only game that made level scaling fun was skies of arcadia. They hsd these like assassins you could i think optionally fight muptiple times and they would get very challening to beat but everything else was normal levels it made it exciting
Makes the game more exciting.
100% It is a complete no buy for me if a game has level scaling that you can't turn off.
6/10 I'm still gonna play the game
definitely better than 6/10 .. and definitely better than the last Dragon Quest Monsters game too (which I worried Sandland would be about, but Sandland is definitely a few notches better.., in all regards)
Art style ofc is amazing but, I'm suprised the graphics look so good

Never heard of the game, the manga or the anime, but the dissonance between what is said in the review and the score is crazy.
They are juat like IGN when it comes to that. They did the same with Stellar Blade.
Standard review site 😂

true...worth playing though

I'll never understand how difficult it is to make an amazing anime game. Given the source material, it should always be a slam dunk
Idc about the rating, the story and game itself is whats important
6? I will play it anyway.
Did you need validation or something?
It's anime mad max
Mix Borderlands+Metal Slug
Seems like it's just an ok game. But that's cool. Just might wait for the price to dip a little bit. The original manga was tight even if it was short-lived.
This is awesome, gona buy it
Does this man not know how to say ilca ?
Sand Land Akira Toriyama
nah this is better than a 6, 8/10
They gave it a 6
They gave it a 6 lol
Wait, only a 6 for the Legend's Akira Toriyama game? 😢
It’s a reflection on the game, not the amazing source material.
Have you played it? How can you possibly judge a subjective review if you haven’t played it yourself. Key word: SUBJECTIVE. 🤡
So it’s anime Dune lol
more like mad max
lol how is this a six
Toriyama wasn’t a good writer or Anything like that , but his character designs are top tier
If he wasn't a good writer then his works wouldn't be so successful lol.
His character designs are also "samey" but yeah, he's a Legend nonetheless.
@@PsychoMagnet I mean the Twilight movies were successful. Kim Kardashian is successful. Call of Duty is still successful. The list goes on lol...
@@Arnell_Long Well yeah but that means they must still be doing something right then. Either way, saying Toriyama "wasn't a good writer" sounds ignorant considering the impact his stories have even now.

So just like with the Dragonball games, no real love was put into this. Such a shame 😢
Video games
so this is a kids game of a dumbed down version of borderlands with a vehicle. pass.
😭
1st
2nd
toriyama is great but the game isn't
After watching the anime I had a feeling this game was gonna be kinda wack
More of an 8 than a 6 honestly.
Tomorrow is a really awesome day for gamers defienitily PlayStation gamers like me, because tomorrow is the Relase Day of a 2 Great games Stellar Blade and Sand Land, defienitily can't wait i'm so excited for the Legendary Anime Artist Akira Toriyama manga's game Sand Land what I need to buy in tomorrow the Relase Day, but before that I'll watch Sand Land Anime on Disney +, I respect Toriyama's work that much I'll watch the Anime and play the Game too.
