The game does look like it will play very well.Your giant wolf-like companion is also something I am fully on board with, and it looks like the way that will work alongside the protagonist, Emma, is very interesting indeed.Personally, I am just happy to see Game Freak develop a game that isn’t Pokémon, and it’s especially impressive how well they have executed a modern and clearly complex action game.Also, from a graphical standpoint, this game does look gorgeous and goes to show that Game Freak can make good-looking games, so long as they get a proper budget and enough time to do it right.In any case, I am really looking forward to this game and am pretty confident it will be a lot of fun to play.Beast of Reincarnation is released on August 2 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The game will also be available via Game Pass.Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently writing regular columns in Japanese about mech...
