13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is much larger than the sum of its parts. It is a deeply captivating and indescribable title — it is, in a single word, art. It is an essential game for literally anyone with a PS4 and one that I personally would like to see reaching other platforms so that even more players have the opportunity to experience it.

You haven’t experienced a story of this magnitude and quality not just in a video game, but in the sci-fi genre as a whole. 13 Sentinels, and Vanillaware as a whole, are video game cultural treasures, no buts about it.

The focus of 13 Sentinels is the anime-like narrative. Exciting, multi-layered and longlasting, 13 Sentinels manages to enrich the genre of visual novels. Anyone who is in the mood for an end-of-time Japanophile story about gigantic 'Mechs, teenage drama and crazy scifi plots will find what they are looking for in 13 Sentinals Aegis Rim.

Masquerading as a simple visual novel hides one of the most groundbreaking stories 2020 has to offer. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim may not be the upcoming open-world action title we're all waiting patiently for, but it certainly deserves a spot on your list for its complex interweaving of a character-driven plot into 80s sci-fi.

If you’re willing to overlook its shortcomings, then 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim is definitely for you. There is definitely some questionable taste in gameplay and visual representation that I feel holds the game back, but it’s not a bad game in general. Atlus has always been great at storytelling. If you’re interested in their works, then I’d recommend you try out Persona 5 Royal and Catherine Full Body right after this one.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is a wonderful blend of some of the most classic elements in gaming and storytelling alike. Vanillaware masterfully embodies the high notes of JRPG storylines and couples it with a sci fi story that would appeal to any fan of the sci fi genre. The tactical shooter and RTS gameplay left some to be desired, however it is still an engaging combat system that does not feel totally out of place.

A beautiful and ambitious rich experience, one that could carry a wole anime franchise on its own. The story is not without its fault, but few games even attempt what this game has managed to achieve.
