Critic Reviews for Bound by Flame
Simply by staggering across the finish line first, Bound By Flame may seem to be an attractive proposition for PS4 RPG fans, but don't be fooled. With its shonky cut-scenes, its outdoor sound effects that play indoors and its linear maps, this is in no way a current-gen experience. It's a budget offering at a premium price - and a poor one at that.
While parts of Bound By Flame are messy, its combat is strong enough to keep the fire stoked.
The combat is fun in parts and the characters grew on me, but so much more of Bound by Flame is tedious, frustrating, and unpolished.
Bound by Flame doesn't put too much weight on the important choices you think you're making, but its rich customization options and smart combat system are sure to give you that power you're looking for.
Fun combat, customization, and decision making overpower the cliché plot and monotonous enemy lineup
Bound by Flame is a rickety role-playing game that bites off far more than it can chew.
[W]hile Bound by Flame has heart, it ends up being a forgettable dull experience.
