NEO: The World Ends With You – A Blast From The Past (PS4)

It has been over 14 years since the release of The World Ends With You (TWEWY), an action role-playing game for the Nintendo DS. Jupiter co-developed the game with Square Enix and fans eagerly awaited a sequel to the ambiguous and avant-garde origin game. NEO: The World Ends With You was released in July 2021 almost as a 14 year anniversary to fans except this…

  • A great homage to the original game; past fans will love the updated graphics
  • Controls for combat are quite easy to adjust to, similar to a button masher
  • The game environment is stylized and immersive
  • Targets a specific audience and is not a game you can just pick up and enjoy
  • Story depends on your previous experience with the original game
  • Controls outside combat are a bit strange, which prevents players from enjoying the mechanics
  • While graphics are upgraded, it feels created more for handheld devices such as the Switch
