The story in Bandai Namco's God Eater: Resurrection is described as dark but ultimately unconvincing and lacking a compelling hook, leading to a sense of repetitiveness. While the gameplay is praised for its dynamic nature, it is noted that the narrative does not significantly enhance the overall experience.
“Those looking for a more dynamic and story-driven hunting game may very well find exactly what they are looking for right here with Bandai Namco's God Eater: Resurrection.”
“The dark story falls flat at points, with the gameplay saving this game from a lackluster story.”
“Gameplay is the only reason for you to pick up God Eater: Resurrection, as the story is unconvincing and fails to provide a compelling hook for you to keep going.”

The emotional impact of the game's narrative is significantly diminished by lackluster voice acting, which detracts from the engaging lore and makes cutscenes feel tedious.

The God Eater franchise is massive in Japan and it's easy to see why. Those looking for a more dynamic and story-driven hunting game may very well find exactly what they are looking for right here with Bandai Namco's God Eater: Resurrection. The flaws associated with its aged original release are more than made up for by the ground-up overhaul. This is without a doubt a fantastic and fun hunting series that hopefully spawns a lot more releases further into the future.
