   Amazing game
   It's very hard but fair, which is good since bosses are the only thing in the game.
   The walking parts are just the right lengthAmazing game
   It's very hard but fair, which is good since bosses are the only thing in the game.
   The walking parts are just the right length for a cool down and great build up for the next fight
   Bosses are pretty much all extremely creative
   The soundtrack is amazing and I listen to it even after beating the game
   The story is simple and cryptic in the beginning but the ending is very rewarding and emotional
   Very worth it for the price… Expand

The game is veryFuri is a really interesting top down boss rush action game with fluid controls, great graphics and awesome boss designs. The game is very difficult but very rewarding. You have a ranged attack which is your gun, your sword for close range and a dash for your dodge. All together the game is very quick and fluid and very fun to play. I really enjoyed my time with this game and would definitely recommend it.… Expand

   its a great port, those saying it has worse music or frame drops than other version either havent analysed it properly or are spouting othersits a great port, those saying it has worse music or frame drops than other version either havent analysed it properly or are spouting others opinions (theres one review on youtube that recorded the audio with issues, the actual game doesnt have audio issues at all... & the developers themselves stated furi on switch runs at a very similar frame rate to the ps4 version, which is close to but not locked at 60fps) the only real difference is the switch version is portable which could be a huge bonus if you want that & it has slightly blurry textures compared to xbox one & ps4, but the difference is minimal you can see this in online comparisons.
   
   the reviewer below saying the frame rate drops below 20-30fps is lying as far as im concerned, ive not seen that and neither has any other reviewer shown that to be the case so far.… Expand

   Furi does things that only independent games can afford. It has a very focused, suffocatingly narrow structure: like in a modern version ofFuri does things that only independent games can afford. It has a very focused, suffocatingly narrow structure: like in a modern version of Punch Out!!, you either beat the next challenger, or you're stuck. It sports exceptionally good electronic music and a surprisingly well-written, well-acted script that pushes you forward just to see what happens next. It has great, unconventional character design.
   
   Above all, Furi is hard. If you don't consider yourself a hardcore gamer, or if you have low tolerance for frustration, then stay away from this title. You could play it at the lowest difficulty level, but then what's the point? Some very good gamers apparently complete Furi in a matter of hours, but it took me a very long time, sometimes replaying the same battle dozens of times, before I could get the "good" ending.
   
   Overall, Furi is a love-it-or-hate-it game. It might not be everybody's cup of tea, but we should all be glad it exists. It focuses on combat that sometimes doesn't flow as well as it should, but you've got to admire how it stands for its central idea. Furi is definitely a niche game, but if you happen to be in that niche, it might become one of your favourites.… Expand

   Furi is a boss rush game with elements from bullet hell shooters and arcade fighting games.

   It's overall a good game. Albeit a game with some issues.
   
   The boss fights are challenging and interesting. The controls are quick to learn and hard to master. The music is amazing. So far so good.
   
   But then there are also weird design decisions. For example you have to literally play a walking simulator between boss fights which is very boring and unskippable. It's mostly there to provide some downtime and present the story. But the story is just meh in my opinion.
   Another issue for me was the "easy mode" of the game. Furi is a very hard game, which is perfectly fine. However this means that a number of players will need to play the easy mode to complete the game. And quite frankly the easy mode sucks. They basically just made the game easier by cutting out large parts of content and giving you a bunch of extra lives. The result just feels terrible to play. I'd much rather have seen an easy mode where maybe the enemies were a little slower so you have more time to react.
   And last but not least the performance of the game is great in handheld mode but not so much in TV mode. I could really see the framerate drop once the screen got more busy.
   All in all Furi is a good game that lacks a little bit of polish.
   If they fixed the easy mode and performance issues and made the walking simulator parts skippable it would propably be a 9/10.
   I should also note that the game is rather short (anywhere between 1 and 7 hours depending on your skill level). But that's ok in my opinion since the game is cheap and has a lot of replay value… Expand

   Absolutely trash. Don't give the developer any more money. It only encourages them to make more garbage. The controls handle like terribly.Absolutely trash. Don't give the developer any more money. It only encourages them to make more garbage. The controls handle like terribly. Let me rephrase that. The controls occasionally handle. Maybe it was just my copy but commands wouldn't register or they would register drastically after I put them in. The commands would often drop mid-gameplay. I would be going in a certain direction, and then "poof" my commands were dropped. I used a variety of controllers, so it wasn't my joycon. If you want a hard game that makes you persevere, then play any of the Fromsoft games. Dark Souls 1 had some artificial difficulty but this game is on another level. It never feels consistent. Download the soundtrack and ignore it for the rest of your life.… Expand
