Heading into my Gamescom demo of Gungrave G.O.R.E., I had essentially failed to remember that it was a continuation of a long-failed to remember PlayStation 2 series.
That changed when I watched a five-minute designer prologue to the game at Gamescom, which incorporated some charmingly old film of the first 2002 activity game.
In any case, in the event that that hadn't warned me, I definitely would have sorted it out by playing the actual demo.
Gungrave G.O.R.E. is a boisterous and glad activity game that feels both retro and new simultaneously.
It keeps up with the vibe of a combo-weighty PS2 game like Devil May Cry without forfeiting innovation. All the more significantly, it does that while presenting containers of blood.
Developed by Iggymob and published by Prime Matter, Gungrave G.O.R.E. is the first game in the Gungrave franchise since 2004.
