    If you are one of those seeking for an adventure based on final bosses, Furi is a game you can’t miss by any means, due to its wonderful combat system and its great visual design.

    Furi isn’t a game that will appeal to everyone based solely on its genre, but its strong and solid combat make it a wonderful game for those who do play it. It values skill over luck, and that is certainly apparent in every fight.

    Furi is a game all about style and combat, and it nails both of those aspects perfectly. For Xbox One owners that didn’t get a chance to check it out when it hit PS4 earlier this year, I highly recommend diving in now. The combat is fun, and the world is interesting. It actually works in combining several game types and making them work. It is challenging for sure, but never unfair.

    I loved Furi, and it excels at what it sets out to do but it is a very niche experience. Fighting a single boss for over ten minutes can be an endurance test in and of itself but failing enough times and having to repeat some bosses for over an hour can get exhausting.

    A visually fascinating game, with a simple yet challenging gameplay and a great soundtrack. It might be a little bit too short for the price, but lovers of fast-paced action games should definitely give it a chance.

    When you break it down you're paying $19.99 to go on 12 boss fights and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. 12 fights for 20 bucks. When you couple that with a tremendously lackluster story, some of the slowest walking in gaming history, and the sheer shallowness of Furi itself, I'd say a better price would be $14.99 tops, or a must buy at $9.99.

    Very tough but seldom unfair, Furi is an unyielding and tantalising taskmaster. [Jan 2017, p.91]

    Sadly though the Xbox one's version is the weakest port so far adding an extra cutscene in the story mode that messes up the atmosphere and it runs as badly as the PS4 version (mostly stable but unlike the PC version the FPS dips).    … Expand

    Furi is bringing the golden age of video game difficulty back. Finally, a game that tests the player both morally and mentally. You start outFuri is bringing the golden age of video game difficulty back. Finally, a game that tests the player both morally and mentally. You start out as a clunky sword/gun/dash combo figuring out your abilities in the first battle. By the 4th battle, you are a full fledged warrior predicting your opponent's next move before he makes it all the while to the heavy beat of Furi's badass soundtrack. This is what makes the game great. The progression of the PLAYER and not the character. The satisfaction of finally driving your sword through the chest of each boss after each devastating failure was something unparalleled in other games.

    This was a game that truly tested me as a gamer. Admittedly, there were times when I wanted to toss my controller out the window and never play again but there was something that kept pulling me back. That pride.... the challenge.... and something about me as a person that made me never want to give up.    … Expand

    Furi esta en medio de dos géneros muy distintos "Hack and Slash" y "Bullet Hell" la mezcla de ambos dio como resultado un juego bastanteFuri esta en medio de dos géneros muy distintos "Hack and Slash" y "Bullet Hell" la mezcla de ambos dio como resultado un juego bastante distintivo, con diseños cool, una muy buena banda sonora, una frenética jugabilidad y una alta rejugabilidad.

    sus únicos 2 puntos negativos serian que el set de ataques es muy escaso y que la historia no esta a la altura

    La banda sonora acompaña perfectamente el sentimiento frenético de los combates y le añade aun mas epicidad a estos

    El juego solo consta de Jefes y todos están muy bien hechos, tanto en diseño, trasfondo interesante y épicas coreografías de combate. A lo largo de la batalla tendrán varias fases muy distintivas, pero todos culminan de una forma similar, en el sentido que viéndose arrinconados (con una sola barra de salud) comienzan a atacar a lo loco llenando la pantalla de láseres, bolas de energía o atacando descontrolada mente, una buena forma de mostrarnos sin decirnos abiertamente que están desesperados por derrotarte.

    Al igual que en Afro Samurai (Pelicula Anime en la que trabajo uno de los responsables de furi) tendremos "Charlas" con un personaje misterioso que prácticamente nos relatara un par de cosas de la historia a la par que nos conduce y cuenta sobre nuestra siguiente victima, para muchos sera algo tedioso el tener que escucharlo después de cada jefe, pero sin el contexto que dicho personaje nos pone las batallas no se sentirían tan importantes y no sabríamos el porque luchamos, como dije antes la historia no es su punto fuerte (al igual que en Afro Samurai)

    como dije antes el set de ataques no es tan amplio como en los Hack and Slash, pero lograron darle balance, en el sentido que no hay ataques inútiles, todos resultaran útiles en momentos específicos y uno como jugador usara el que mas le acomode o convenga.    … Expand
