    So far I like the game. If you have played Freedom Wars, Toukiden or Monster Hunter this might be a game you like. I'll be honest, I dislike the graphics, it could easily have looked better but gameplay wise this game is great.

    While not a bad game it is mostly underwhelming. I like the characters but find the story not that great. Made even some correct predictions early on for some twists. While I liked the gameplay and battles it was a bit to easy especially earlier on. For clarification: I consider myself as average gamer. Also Toukiden is far superior in regard to this game. The God Eater franchise games areWhile not a bad game it is mostly underwhelming. I like the characters but find the story not that great. Made even some correct predictions early on for some twists. While I liked the gameplay and battles it was a bit to easy especially earlier on. For clarification: I consider myself as average gamer. Also Toukiden is far superior in regard to this game. The God Eater franchise games are action adventures like Monster Hunter or Toukiden. You fight monsters here called Aragami and develop your character with equipment. You get items to forge better gear, improve your gear or add abilities aka improvements to it. The battles are separated into missions and you have a teammates that you can chose and also improve. There is more but this is just a set up. The story is set in an apocalyptic future. Mankind is heavily decimated as the Aragami have overrun the world. Those are nearly unbeatable by normal means. Only those gifted to wield God Arcs weapon can defeat the Aragami. Your main character that you can freely create passes the compatibility test and is introduced as newest member of the “Blood” unit an elite team. Here I stop to avoid spoilers. The story is not bad but I found it underwhelming. I foresaw even a few twists. It never grabbed me that much. The characters however are far better and I liked them. Presentation wise you see that it is an enhanced Vita game. I wont criticize this as it seems unfair. They did what they could and the graphics are not bad. The soundtrack is likable for me. Overall this was a small disappointment. The game could not grab me that much. I would recommend Toukiden Kiwami or Toukiden instead.… Expand

    La historia es casi inexistente y la presentación es muy mejorable, pero si jugáis con tres amigos más tenéis horas y horas de diversión si os gusta este género, tanto con este como con la remasterización de la primera parte, en un título que nos deja con ganas de más y deseosos de ver un God Eater 3 desarrollado específicamente para la nueva generación.

    Eso si, si vuestra intención es jugarlo en solitario, este no es vuestro juego.    … Expand

    I played two monster hunting games before playing this, the first one was soul sacrifice (which I for some reason didn't enjoy that much), the second one was toukiden: kiwami (which I absolutely loved).

    In terms of gameplay, this game is easy to learn and very enjoyable. The only con In this game until now is the dreadful graphics it offers, the graphics on this look like they belong in the ps2 during 2001 - 2002 at most.
    It definitely doesn't belong on a 60$ game for the ps4, the graphics on this game cannot be compared to soul sacrifice and toukiden.

    I also wanna thank the creators for giving anyone who bought the disc version a redeemable code for god eater resurrection, which was a really nice thing to do by them :) .    … Expand

    Well, this is a game that is suitable for god eater fans but as for me the gameplay was mediocre at best. The mission was rather boring and repetitive. The character was not interesting enough for me to keep playing.

    You cant ask for a worst game, literally, its just impossible to do worst than this, congrats on that.
    Now ill explain my point, and a bit for those who dont know the whole story.

    Now ill explain my point, and a bit for those who dont know the whole story.

    Note: GE Burst is the original God Eater, released in 2010 to PSP, wich had a remake to pc version later, named GE Ressurection, these games are the same basicly.

    GE Burst story: Your a cadet of a new generation of god eaters, your compatible with your gun and join the god eater force, met a really clumsy mate, a guy (named kota), the game beggins, and later a russian girl (named alisa) that was transfered to your facility, this new girl is really rude, the game continues.
    5 years later(2015), they released GER (God Eater Ressurection), the remake and GE2RB (God Eater 2 Rage Burst) the second game.
    GE2RB story: This game happens to be 3 years after the first one (in the story), your a cadet of a new generation of fighters, compatible so you join god eaters, ok, then you met a really clumsy mate, a girl, and later, a really rude scotish guy (Gilbert) is transfered to your facility, in his first day, he punches a guy for no reason, the game continues.

    Pros: Your HQ has a new design, the model graphics are slightly better, but only character model.
    Cons: This 2nd game takes place in the same facilitie of the last one, but your hq has even less rooms than in GEB, they swapped the chararcters gender (the rude is a guy and the chill is a girl now), the maps you fight are also the same, the game is still bugged AF, the background story is the same (coincidence), maps size compared to characters is still bad.
    You know, in 2010 graphics were not the best, there was no technology for that, but 5 years later, with a psp original and a remake of the original game sold, they came up with even worst cut scenes, by far, in graphical terms, now its not even a cut scene, you have to press to see their next message, its a really disgusting format, i cant stand it.

    Conclusion: Again the same game, same story, same characters, but a little different from the outside, and different names, this game is basicly another remake, and that makes me sad, bcs i was expecting another game, not more of the same ive been playing for years
    I really love God Eater burst, its my game for life, and im truly disapointed with this **** they sold. "its not an iphone, its an iphone+".
    Just play the first game pls, dont try this one, its my advice.    … Expand

    With a lot of content, God Eater 2 : Rage Burst is a very good Action-RPG game, but it heavily suffers from it's visuals. Looks like it's a PS Vita Port with a few HD textures thrown at it.

    A rather disappointing sequel, but still a decent entry for those who want to try out the “hunting” game genre.
