The Wonderful 101: Remastered

[h1]A [b][i]WONDERFUL[/i][/b] experience[/h1] This game is a mix of Pikmin, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Bayonetta making it one of the most unique experiences in gamming even with inspirations mentioned. Story and characters are pure super hero wank, and it is [b][i]WONDERFUL[/i][/b], every single moment is full of passion and enthusiasm. Music, again, is most the hypest capeshit ever and very silver age-esque at that. When my only critique to the game is that the final level overextends itself, I knew that I was in for something truly [b][i]WONDERFUL[/i][/b]. I HIGHLY ROCCOMEND THIS [b][i]WONDERFUL[/i][/b] GAME.

Take any Platinum Games titles and any superhero comics and you get this masterpiece, i remember i play the original demo on the wii u and i am getting used to the game's mechanics with the gameplay and the combos, and now they made a remastered of this 1 decade later, thank you Platinum Games. :)

One of Kamiya's best in terms of pure combat (and the story/cutscenes are over the top hilarious!). However, it is bogged down by unnesescary minigames. One third -- perhaps nearly one half -- of the game time will be spent doing something else besides actually playing the game. There's shooter segments, flying/jumping/platforming sections, a wannabe punch-out section, puzzles/sections that are designed for the WiiU gamepad and annoying to do with a controller, etc. Some people may love the gameplay variety, I find them annoying. Despite this, it's still worth your time because of just how good the core combat is.

I would recommend this game only if you're patient enough to learn how the combat system works. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a PlatinumGames title—chaotic battles where you’ll be dodging, guarding, and chaining combos while facing hordes of enemies. The catch? You can literally draw weapons mid-battle. It’s a unique mechanic where you draw your heroes into shapes—sword, gun, hammer, whip, and more—and they’ll form those weapons to attack your foes. Yes, you’re actually controlling a hundred heroes in this game! It sounds amazing on paper, and it is, but it also takes a lot of patience to master. I’m using the right thumbstick on my PS5 controller to “draw” weapons mid-battle, but sometimes it ends up drawing the wrong one, which can be super frustrating—especially when things get hectic. Oh, and quick-time events? They rely on those drawings too. I can’t count how many times I failed in the early stages because I couldn’t draw the “Fist” move properly. As amazing as this game is—and yes, I finished it—it has a steep learning curve. I don’t think casual players would have the patience to stick with it. An amazing experience overall, but I’d give it a 7/10.

It's a cute play on the genre with lots of talent behind it, but overall, I just don't enjoy it. The wondercursor is the most important part of the gameplay, but it just feels like abysmal dogshit. Parrying is very important when fighting, but enemies have the same animations for some parryable attacks as unparryable attacks. The camera feels like it's constantly bouncing back and forth between not giving me enough space, or trying to run away. The tutorials barely even explain the more finnicky stuff like the wonder team and wonder leader system (which I still don't understand). Despite being a fast-paced beat-em-up, it constantly flashes stuff mid-fight that has realistically nothing to do with anything. It's all just so clunky and makes it hard to enjoy.

worth it for the ending alone luckily the rest is also really good

The controls are as weird as the game. 7.5🦸/10🦹

Wonderful.
