God Eater 2 Rage Burst is a video game expansion of the original God Eater 2 which PC consumers are blessed to have now. Rage Burst introduced an extended story, game balancing, and new mechanics from its previous sequel. I'll be reviewing both God Eater 2 Rage Burst and God Eater Resurrection which comes bundled for free when you buy Rage Burst along with giving an explanation of what God Eater is as an old fan of the series.

God Eater started off as a Japanese Playstation Portable (PSP) "Monster Hunting" game created by SHIFT and was released on February, 2010. It sold well at the time and was announced for US release shortly afterwards, however it was delayed until 2011. During the time, Bandai announced a project for their God Eater game which ultimately became Gods Eater Burst that got released to the US. Gods Eater Burst featured an extended story, new characters, monsters, and various other elements for the original game.

In the same year, September 2011, God Eater 2 was announced for the PSVita in Japan and was later released in 2013. The game had plenty of copies sold, around 200,000 physical copies on the first week it released, and was very well received.

"God Eater 2 was to pinpoint what users found fun about the game; we're taking it apart and reassembling it from scratch." - Yusuke Tomizawa, the developer of God Eater

In 2014, God Eater 2 Rage Burst was announced which, much like how Gods Eater Burst received, introduced new characters and monsters, an extended story, a new game mechanic, and various other functions. It was released for both the PlayStation 4 and Vita.

Additionally, an animated series of God Eater by Ufotable (also known for animating Fate/Zero) started on July 2015 and lasted through 12 episodes up until March, 2016. A full length prologue episode was featured in 2009. The anime focused on a static main character named Lenka and revolved around the first God Eater's storyline.

Resurrection is an enhanced version of an already enhanced version of the first game. While there are no additional stories to a game that's already expanded on story enough, it features a vast majority of mechanics and gameplay elements brought in from its sequel while introducing Predator Styles, a new unique element only available in Resurrection.

God Eater 2 revolves around giant monsters that are somewhat resembled off of a deity of sorts while following the story of various characters in a post-apocalyptic world ruined by said giant monsters called Aragami. It follows the story previously left off of the first game.

The game introduces new weapons to the series: the Boost Hammer, Charge Spear, and Variant Scythe. That makes 6 total melee weapons; the original three being the fast and mobile Short Sword, the well-rounded Long Blade, and the slow, heavy hitting Buster Blade.

Even though 6 might sound like a small number, they all vastly differ in strengths and weaknesses which majority of players may find that suits their playstyle the best. There are also different types of guns and shields along with a very large variety of "Skills" you can install into your weapons to give them a variety of effects. While it lacks in variety a bit, the weapons make up for the amount of experimentation and possibilities it can give to the player to help find their perfect loadout.

God Eater 2 and its expansion, Rage Burst, features two special mechanics called "Blood Arts" and "Blood Rage" which are not available in God Eater Resurrection due to the plot. These elements can alter your playstyle of the game even further by giving your weapons additional movesets / effects and mission-clearing set-ups.

The composer of music for both of the games was orchestrated by Go Shiina who specializes in electronic, orchestral, and rock. His music for the games helped create the atmosphere of the settings in great ways with his dramatic arrangements.

Compared to other PC ports from consoles, God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2 Rage Burst as a PlayStation 4 port suffers little to no issues. Smooth 60fps, full controller support and keyboard rebindings, and variety of options to tweak with, the port is nearly flawless. Some noticeable downsides is that there is no 21:9 screen ratio support and audio randomly cuts out at times / voice volume is low compared to other audio sources even if they are all maxed in settings. Another thing that can be unsettling is how akward joining others in Multiplayer works which is having to set up your download region through the Steam settings to the same location as the host's.

+ Well developed PC port from the Playstation 4 console. A lot of effort has been put into it by the looks of it
+ Full controller support and key rebindings
+ Music breaths life to monster hunting
+ Plenty of story and hours of content to invest in
- Random audio cut-outs and poorly optimized voice volume
- English dubs may not be suited for everyone
- Lack of Japanese voice acting can put some people off
- No 21:9 ratio support
- Messing around with Steam settings to play with others online isn't too exciting
- You can't transfer save data from God Eater Resurrection to God Eater 2 Rage Burst

Personal Score: 8/10
