A pleasant introduction to the rich Hindu mythology by an Indian Game Studio (never seen before). Plus, they have the ammunition to talk the talk and walk the walk. Great gameplay and level design with an immersive storytelling.
   
   This game deserves your attention.
   The hype is real!… Expand

Reminds me a lot of the gameplay from the PS2 era God of War games. Beautiful artwork and the story is narrated by the Hindu gods, which is pretty neat. All in all, it's good fun while it lasts as it's only about five hours long. Happy to support this team though. Great debut project from a studio in India.… Expand

   Raji is onRaji is a great attempt at showcasing a part of the world that is quite underexposed to the video game entertainment industry.
   Raji is on point with Indian Mythology and bhajans in the background (the background music/chanting). The art style, the attention to detail even on the walls in the game are quite commendable.
   
   I think one place where Raji can improve, as others have already pointed out is the gameplay itself. Having Autolock, A smoother combat, better upgrades and making the character more powerful/diverse as story progresses would have definitely helped this game.
   
   Irrespective of what I said in the above paragraph, Raji is a seriously great attempt and one of the first to showcase a new culture in video games. That, by itself could have been very difficult and new to the gaming studio and I really appreciate all the hard work they poured in making this game.… Expand

   The only thing good about this game is the visuals and the mythology bits you get from listening to the murals with lore on them. Controls areThe only thing good about this game is the visuals and the mythology bits you get from listening to the murals with lore on them. Controls are really basic and janky. Combat is utterly unplayable at times, half-baked, repetitive and boring.
   Bosses are generic, forgettable and really, really repetitive with their move set and boring, expect the last one who'll just stun-lock you to death if you don't smash A fast enough to dodge his attack. Yes, you don't have to time your dodge at all like in any skill based roguelike, you just spam it and wait for the best. I've 100% every souls-like, Hades and a bunch of other games in the genre but couldn't bring myself to endure how disappointingly bad this game is in every other aspect. Even as a story-heavy game is fails miserable at it. You'll play it then forget about everything about it the next week. The voice acting (English dub) is horrendous and really cringe with the stereotypical Indian accent. Can't comment on the Hindu version because I planned to at least replay the first chapter again on that setting but I couldn't. The platforming in this is just bad. It might be inspired heavely by Prince Of Persia but the smoothness of that is nowhere to be seen from here and again, really basic. Take for example the pole jumping where you have to be positioned directly opposite from the pillar, stop moving, then jump or you'll end up jumping to where you're 'aiming'. It's slow, really slow. Not only for that but even for transversing the game since there's no run button so if you wanna speed up, you guessed it, you have to smash that A button a few thousand times more. I could go on and on about how this game is absolutely not it and you should neither spend your time nor your money on it but all I'll say is that if you've ever played any other action-adventure game of the likes of it, just lower your expectations coming to this... Then set fire to those expectations, shoot them 12 times and bury then 6 feet deep. This is is worst game I've played this year and is really, really not worth it. If you're like me trying to 100% it before it leaved GamePass, I'm sorry for you.… Expand
