PlatinumGames' Astral Chain is the most innovative action games in years and certainly one of the best games of 2019.
Top Critic
Home to an incredibly immersive world and the best combat on the Nintendo Switch, Astral Chain is a must-play not only for fans of the genre, but the medium as a whole. It is a title that understands the importance of balancing gameplay, story, and style without ever sacrificing substance for anything else. It's more accessible than most PlatinumGames titles without ever having to compromise its core mechanics. The slower start may alienate potential fans but sticking with Astral Chain leads to a surprisingly thematic script, incredibly deep combat, and what might be Platinum's best game to date.
Astral Chain is yet another addition to the Nintendo Switch library that will be fondly remembered for decades to come.

Astral Chain brings together gameplay elements from all of Platinum's best, from Bayonetta to Transformers Devastation, and adds the secret spice of detective work to tie it all together. It's easy enough for newcomers to the genre, deep enough for veterans, and one of Platinum's best.
