super smash bros ultimate review

[10/10 · 9 March 2022]

So super smash bros is a game that features a HUGE amount of popular and iconic video game characters along with a HUGE community and also features many different kinds of content in it like Challenges and online gameplay and in general different ways to play the core part of the game which is FIGHTING and combining the elements of all sorts of popular icons over three years all together with each other's to battle it out. HOWEVER, today I will be doing an honest review of this game and trust me when I say when I researched this game I just want to start off by saying I LOVE IT so here we go. So first of all the whole idea and concepts of taking SO MANY recognizable characters with their very own stories and origins and with their very own games and franchises all together into one game and allowing them to fight each other is BRILLIANT. Also each and every single one of the characters has their very own diverse moveset of SO MANY different moves for fighting other opponents and you can find ways to do things like combos and optimization of certain moves and also moves CNN be based off of these characters own games and can be references for some of them if not all of them along with various taunts you can perform during battle that could also be references to their own franchises as well which is also very much appreciated by fans of so many of these games but it's also just fun to point them out as well. I also love how in this game there are even boss fights that have been added in from different games and other franchises and even references to previous smash games along with brand new modes that feature certain amounts of customizable difficulty for each with is very nice to see that you have more freedom over customization of certain modes or challenges. I also love how at the beginning of the game you only start out with 8 of the original smash brothers roster of characters from the original smash 64 game but the feeling of it is supposed to be that you are constantly unlocking new fighters over time but it's also a nice way of Pacific g for gameplay to keep people playing or coming g back but it's also a very nice reference to the original smash 64's roster of characters but you also unlock characters based on what number they joined the series on so that you know which fighter is coming next which is very nice to see fanservice all over the place in this game. Also I love how online gameplay is done in SO MANY WAYS such as modes like elite smash or tournaments or just normal online gameplay either for fun or for glory. Also i love how amiibos are still combatants with this game just like the last one where they are very stylish figurines that you can both put up on display but they can also better represent these iconic characters along with having actual compatibility with the game where you can put the stand of an amiibo on a Nintendo switch and then you can train that character that is on the amiibos in the game to become and extremely high level amongst other fighters which is another very good way of compatibility with not only the game but also in general the switch itself. Also i love the MANY different alts of colors and costumes that you can select for all of characters etsr that can either be smash originals or references towards that characters own games or franchise which is REALLY GOOD for fan service. Also i love how the community has made even fan animations and exclusive artwork for the love of this game and it's very well respected by the community of smash. Also speaking of artwork there is a TON of exclusive artwork for this game and as an artist myself I appreciate that very much. I also love all of the final smashes in this game and they are basically special moves and like a final attack for each character and they all have different themes like cinematics or going around the stage or having a certain hit box and also they can hold certain references towards these characters own games or franchises and also there are now two different ways to get a final smash and t g at school by destroying a smash ball or by filling up a fuel gauge which is great for more ways to play the game compared to the other smash games. Also instead of having to press multiple buttons all at once to activate something or do anything for that matter in the pause menu you can now just pull up a regular pause menu where you don't need to do that anymore so that's REALLY NICE to see this. There are also multiple modes in this game that you can use to change the gameplay like special smash where you can change the attributes of your character along with everybody else's or a stock battle where you can choose a certain amount of lives and even timed battles or unlimited time and just SO MUCH MORE ways to play the core part of the game which is fighting. I also love how in real life there are even tournaments that other players get together for which is another cool way for the community to experience more different ways of gameplay together. Also I love how directs are held by the main director and creator of this game named Masahiro Sakurai and he either introduces new fighters or newer content and updates to the game or the community as a whole. So in conclusion, this game is a wonderful clash of fan service, customization, entertainment for a long time, upgrading and updating content. Also having a MASSIVE community that supports and creates wonderful things like nice responses towards Mr. Sakurai hard work for example. So what would I rate this game on a scale of 1 to 10, absolute 10 I love everything about this game.
