New Gundam Breaker
Top 5 Worst Games of Q2 2018
Another complete trainwreck of a release this year was New Gundam Breaker. Ironically, the name itself is rather appropriate because you’ll certainly want to do some breaking after you’ve played it for any length of time. Framerate issues even on PS4 Pro are compounded by wonky controls that make gameplay feel disconnected from the player. Not that we were especially excited about playing more of it even looking past these hiccups, though.
New Gundam Breaker is another blight on the resume of a franchise that hasn’t had the best track record over the years. Here, the gameplay loop centers around a shoot-and-loot blueprint, beating missions to upgrade your mech as you progress through what is an extremely dull story. But there’s precious little variety in each mission, so it all ends up feeling so stale that the purpose of upgrading your mech in the first place quickly loses its appeal.
Between the clunky gameplay, cliche story, and technical issues, it’s hard to think of anything that’s very good about New Gundam Breaker.
