  If you're a big fan of the series and are looking to get some extra mileage out of it, this might be a good buy for you, but if you're unfamiliar with Attack on Titan already and are just looking for some quick action, you might want to pass this game up and find something more action-packed and value-rich.

  And really, Humanity in Chains doesn't even have that oh-so-important fan appeal; if you've seen the show, this is essentially an adulterated version of that experience. Should Attack on Titan last long enough for another developer to get its hands on the license, we may see a proper adaptation of the series' legitimately great action one day. Until then, this isn't it.

  Humanity in Chains' gameplay is obviously uninspired and riddled with poor design choices. Considering all of the reused assets from the anime, the excessively redundant combat system and a short Story Mode that goes in circles, it's hard to not regard Humanity in Chains as an attempt to make money off of the series' followers. ...The series' famous first words come into mind: On that day, mankind received a grim reminder.

  Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains lacks any sort of depth to its missions, and the story mode is a told in a jumbled manner. While it was nice to get some freedom with the Omni-Directional Maneuver gear and to play with some new items in World Mode, the missions bogged down the fun. ...Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains' interesting mechanics are bogged down by dull missions and a jumbled campaign.

  There is so little original content in Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains that its full retail price feels like robbery. ...Fans of the series will find nothing new here to entice them. While folks new to the anime will likely enjoy the music, cut scenes, and story, they’d be better off watching the actual show than playing this dreck.

  Between the can't-look-away morbidity of being eaten and watching the ensemble cast persevere, there's no denying the draw of Attack on Titan and the potential for a superb game adaptation. Humanity in Chains just isn't that game. Given the squads of soldiers, the seemingly limitless influx of titans, and one's mobility options, there is surely hope for an excellent game set in this universe in the far-flung future.
