Attack on Titan may be systematically simple and has some visual issues, but I still had fun playing within its world. Well-trod musou layout aside, battling titans and swinging through the skies with futuristic military gear can be an enjoyable experience--if you can look past its glaring flaws.

While not without its issues, Omega Force did a really good job bringing Attack on Titan into the realm of gaming. The studio managed to catch the look and feel of the series and inject the gameplay with a really unique hook.

If you're looking for a quick distraction that will stick a plaster over the gaping wound of your desire for Attack on Titan season 2, then Wings of Freedom may stem the bleeding. Unfortunately, extended play might cause a few injuries of its own, because for a game about giants and verticality, the game's long-term experience is woefully flat.

Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains lacks any sort of depth to its missions, and the story mode is a told in a jumbled manner. While it was nice to get some freedom with the Omni-Directional Maneuver gear and to play with some new items in World Mode,...
