Defunct Games's video: Review: Yars Rising PlayStation 4 5 Xbox Switch Steam - Defunct Games

Defunct Games reviews Yars Rising, available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch and PC. If you’re looking for the inventive shoot ‘em up action seen in games like Yars’ Revenge and Yars Recharged, then you’re going to want to look elsewhere. Yars Rising turns the shooter series into a side-scrolling action/platformer reminiscent of games like Metroid and Axiom Verge. The result is both jarring and baffling, giving us a story that feels like it has been shoehorned into a completely different game at the last second. The gameplay is fine and there are a few good boss battles, but this is a short, simple and uneventful game that you’ll quickly forget about in a week or two. I expected more from both Yars and WayForward. This is a big disappointment. NOTE: Defunct Games received a digital code from the developer/publisher of this game for review purposes.
