Maybe next time, I’ll play the sequel where Guts finally fights Andy Griffith, the Vervoid, Slaine Troyard, Ubbik-Dubbik, and Joseph Conrad.
Hopefully you’ll find more enjoyment out of this then I did.

Overall, the creators could really take some pointers from other, more popular and well written series (like Idolmaster). Too bad other planned levels like the one where Guts fights Rosie O’Donnell and her army of midgets is cut out. It’s a pivotal moment for all Japanese games when he rapes Costco into insanity, something even casual Berserk The Phantom Pain fans will never forget. Everything from his motivation to his design (hint: he can get hopping mad). The only character that really stands out is the final boss Andy Griffith. Guts is the generic “brooding guy with big sword”, clearly taking a bit too much inspiration from the popular and ground-breaking character Dark Souls, while Puck is an annoying copy-and-paste of said popular character’s dashing sidekick Bloodborne. I realize I’m missing out on a lot of plot from the last game, but I can’t bring myself to care. While I don’t have a problem with narrative-focused games per say, the story in here is crap. Yet I have to play this part in order for this story to set sail. I get nightmares about that rabbit permanently etched into my mind. And I’m telling you, that took half a week to complete. A large amount of gameplay is spent on this quicktime event where you have to stab a rabbit. Actual gameplay is practically nonexistent. Putting aside the fact that the animation hasn’t aged well at all, this game is a slow, confusing mess. As a sequel to a cult classic, it’s only natural this series would fall into obscurity.
So I was digging ’round the web looking for something to pass the time, when I found an old Playstation 1 game called Berserk: The Phantom Pain Revengeance Part 2: Return Of The Patriotic Revenge-Eater: A Hideo Kojima Game. COUNT YOUR PIGEONS NOW, NOTHING CAN GO WRONG~
