A great port of an entertainingly subversive cover shooter. It's short, but the core loop never gets old.

Equip the Augmented Reaction Suit, enabling superhuman abilities, firepower, and melee moves, to eradicate a myriad of intelligent robotic enemies and bosses across fast-paced, varied environments.

Vanquish Review
It may be basic as a remaster, but Vanquish manages to hold up in the PS4's twilight year. Brimming with enjoyable, fast-paced action which is exemplified by the knee slide, one of PlatinumGames' best experiences has a new lease of life that it's going to take full advantage of. Vanquish doesn’t look the part, but it most certainly plays like it.

Like Bayonetta before it, Vanquish for the PC is, hands down, the best version yet, and maybe even better than Bayonetta in that regard, as the keyboard and mouse control support fits like a glove. As for its gameplay, it's definitely a title that will offer lots of fun to third-person shooter aficionados, as long as its short length and lack of replayability isn't much of an issue.
