  Those looking for a more story-driven experience over the Monster Hunter series and don’t mind the constant repetition the subgenre is known for will get their money’s worth here. Whether you decide to play it on the PlayStation 4 or the Vita, the game supports cross-play and cross-save functionality. With the out-of-pocket expense set very low, God Eater Resurrection is an easy recommendation.

  For as much as Gods Eater Burst excelled in 2010, it’s since been outpaced by similar games. That includes prey mounting in Monster Hunter and a more engrossing atmosphere in Toukiden: Kiwami. There’s comfort to be found in the simple mission goals, but it’s impossible to ignore how repetitive they are--and how outdated they make Resurrection feel in practice.

  Perhaps it took a move to the home consoles and a years-delayed retouch, but God Eater Resurrection shines as a less demanding, flashier alternative to the likes of Monster Hunter. It'll never ask for the same depth of dedication, but it doesn't try to, and in (not) doing so, manages to prove that being the "diet" version of something isn't always a bad thing.

  As far as the multiplayer is concerned there isn’t much of a latency issue at all and the smooth animation carries on over to other players as well. If you are the type of gamer that enjoys online play or if you’re looking for something to play with friends, God Eater Resurrection is certainly the game to pick up. Compared to the original PSP version, there isn’t much for additional content so fans who may have been hoping for more might be a bit disappointment.

  God Eater Resurrection may not be a must-have game, but seeing that its genre isn’t over-saturated allows it to stand firmly on its own. Whether you’re returning from the PSP game or are just looking for a new Monster Hunter-esque fix, this game will definitely scratch the hunting itch for you.

  7.0

  The combat feels substantial even if the enemy variety doesn’t. The game itself is laid out in a way that welcomes players new to the whole hunter genre. That really isn’t why Resurrection exists, though; it’s really here to serve as an appetizer for the upcoming sequel. It prepares the palate for what is to come and serves as a great entry point at a low price. People who are already sold would do well to wait for the sequel, but those who aren’t sure should try their hands at Resurrection.
