Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan (known as A.O.T.: Wings of Freedom in Europe) is a 2016 hack and slash game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo Games. The game is based on the anime of the same name.

A sequel, Attack on Titan 2, was released on March 15, 2018 in Japan, March 16, 2018 in Europe, and March 20, 2018 in North America.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Beautiful graphics that capture the anime's art style.
 * 2) Atmospheric, powerful, and emotional soundtrack.
 * 3) The voice cast from the anime all reprise their roles.
 * 4) Stays true to the source material, with minor deviations.
 * 5) Play as multiple characters earned through progression of the game's story mode.
 * 6) Tight, responsive controls, at least with a controller.
 * 7) The omni-directional maneuver gear allows the player to reach high heights. Just like Spider-Man 2, swinging is realistic as the characters attach grappling cables to the nearest buildings and trees rather than up in the sky. Pair this and #6 together and you have a match made in video game Heaven.
 * 8) Various Titans from the series appear as enemies and bosses, and the challenges that the characters faced when fighting them in the manga/anime are present in the game, albeit in a rather different form.
 * 9) Besides the standard Military uniforms, your characters can also wear Halloween, Christmas, and New Year costumes via DLC. Even the weapons' appearances change to reflect the costumes.
 * 10) Speaking of DLC, they are not necessary for game progression and merely unlock sidequests or cosmetic changes.
 * 11) Offers some new content to Attack on Titan fans.
 * 12) It's a good way to introduce newcomers to the series, but not the best.
 * 13) You can befriend Mikasa!

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The hack-and-slash nature of the game can lead to monotony.
 * 2) The game did not receive an English dub track for its international release. This is to be expected from any manga-based game that is not Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, or Fullmetal Alchemist. And this isn't excusable because Attack on Titan is now one of the most popular anime/manga series. Maybe KT learned all the wrong lessons from the negative reception of the anime's English dub.
 * 3) The PS3 port suffered from a slight graphical downgrade, as with all late-era PS3 games (2015-2017).
 * 4) Can be expensive, with the base game costing full price. If you want to buy the DLC, get the All Sets (costumes, weapons, episodes).
 * 5) * at least the costumes are optional.
 * 6) The digital download copies of the game can take too much space on your system's hard drive.
 * 7) The PC port is notorious for its insanely high (read: dirt-cheap) difficulty with a keyboard and mouse, with attack controls mapped to the mouse and movement/defense controls on the keyboard.
