- Watch our Sand Land review! Sand Land reviewed by Michael Higham on PS5 (PlayStation 5), also available on PS4 (PlayStation 4), PC, and Xbox.
"I'm happy to see Sand Land get a second wind with an open-world action game, and it can sometimes adapt the series in impressive ways. But while there is the potential of an interesting expansion of the manga here, it doesn’t manage to replicate what Toriyama's panels were able to illustrate so effectively. Beneath some ho-hum dialogue and stilted cutscenes is a fun story with its heart in the right place, and Beelzebub and friends at least have the charisma to carry you through to the end alongside a quirky set of supporting characters and villains. Dialing in on vehicular combat and exploration pays off to both maintain the spirit of the original work and deliver some high points, but the quests themselves fall into repetition. Thus, Sand Land suffers the same fate we’ve seen in many other game adaptations of anime and manga - competent in several respects with a few moments of brilliance, but for the most part, a simply okay adventure that can only occasionally capture what makes the source material special."
Let us know what you think of our IGN Sand Land review in the comments!
#SandLand #Gaming #IGN - Ігри
IGN, where a game is praised throughout the review but gets a 6 and a game like Madden that gets a lot of excuses and “headed in the right direction” for 10 years in a row gets a 8. Make it make sense
IGN comment sections where someone has played neither game but complains about the scores of both games they haven't played.
@@jupiterofthemonkeyii5569 literally the whole point of reviews is discussing and finding out if something is worth investing in. As said earlier "Make it makes sense" Idk what you expect to find
@@jupiterofthemonkeyii5569bro, everything he’s just said about the way IGN review Madden games is spot on
IGN are corporate backed by partner Microsoft companies... aka they biased af.
the sense is the amount of money that ends up on the bank account
Rest in Peace Akira Toriyama

My buddy bought this today and he’s still playing it six hours later.
It's an amazing game don't rely on this review
true, been enjoying this game for almost a week now
Anytime IGN gives a game a low score....i play it regardless 🤣. The games they give high scores are typically boring.
6 isn't low
This game is pretty bad tho
@@Dezzy2178in your opinion
Don't force your opinions on everyone else @@Dezzy2178
So true
They gave it the first ever 12
Lol
AAAA game
Yes! Divided by 2
When you buy the premium you get 2x the enjoyment
Always remember these IGN scores are always one person's opinion. It's easy to forget that.
All scores are one persons opinion, with different metrics being applied for the scores.
If it was a 9 out of 10, would you still make this comment?
@@shinobusensui9395wouldn’t be necessary then
cope
don't listen to this guy plzzzzz. in many other reviews it got a 9 out of 10.
the art direction was so attractive mmmpf
Say it ain’t so. Toriyama’s last adventure game can’t be a flop
We still have Sparking Zero
Not that its a "flop flop" like a 6/10 is still a fine score
@@shriderrad4123 no, its not
@@user-qc1qe1xp8u ok, how is 6/10 not fine?
@@shriderrad4123 Because on IGN's standards that's a garbage game.
From someone completely unfamiliar with the series, this seems like a very fair review.
Sad that the reviewer and some folks in the comments found it boring. Was worried about that from the trailers but still looked like it had the potential to be exciting. I'll have give the demo a try at least.
Only thing that is sad is this reviewer aka urinalist!
the demo doesnt do this game justice at all, and lacks a sense of direction.
ILCA did this game. They made One Piece Odyssey and the Pokemon Gen 4 remakes. It's a mixed reception from them lately.
don't listen to this guy plzzzzz. in many other reviews it got a 9 out of 10.
@@princexrocco38and many others give it a 6. Don't tell others to only look at positive reviews, it's important to take in different viewpoints.
The world looks incredible. Love the art direction.
The criticism is not that the reviewer's openion differs from our expectations, it's that the reviewer's verdict disagrees with their own review's body. The criticism in the body seems to be mostly about smaller aspects such as dialogs and cutscenes, which are not unimportant, but usually don't tank a game with solid gameplay, feel, characters, and world building to an "Okay" verdict.
He clearly said that the enemy AI, battle design, and non-vehicle fights were all poorly executed.
So you didn't actually listen to what he said throughout the video??
Sand land didn't donate or sponsor them like games with 8+ score
@Daniel-yq9zm it's an anime adaptation, it was always gonna be mid
michael higham is in IGN now?
Just remember there just review scores...youll find 10 9 8 7 6s..for everything....find a independent reviewer that shares your tastes and go by that if it matters that much
You could also judge the review by it's content, not just the number at the end.
If you're going to find a review to confirm what you already want it to be, you should just stop bothering with reviews if you're so biased.
@@HorribleMuttonChops To be fair tho IGN is garbage lol
@@Chewy00You guys always keep saying that, but here you are watching their reviews.
@@fatcat1it’s like any train wreck it’s hard to look away at times 🤷♂️ and the general consensus online is wether most like it or not is the lack of actual “Review” meaning to score ratio… which IGN is known for… that’s why they get the hate.. it almost never consistently matches up with the overall take home from the review.. not disagree with this review here just in general stating the mass public opinion on IGN…
Seems like no one else could create those Supersaiyan hairs like Toriyama
Ign 6 means 8
don't listen to this guy plzzzzz. in many other reviews it got a 9 out of 10.
This looks like a game that wiuld have been in the 360 or ps3. For me thats a huge compliment.

Blue dragon vibes
Man this game is like if borderlands had a baby with every other dragons ball Z game 😅
Vehicular combat is a pro, we all love destroying stuff in cars (It's called Grand Theft Auto for a reason).
Excited for this.
Stellar Blade and Sand Land weekend it is!
Also fallout 4 next gen update 👌🏼
@@franktorres2915 lol
I’m really looking forward to it!
Same here!!!! Scores are personal opinions anyways
SAND LAND HYPE!

I’ll wait for a sale

He keeps praising the game and then gives it a 6 😂 it's so IGN...
Have you actually watched it, he’s constantly pointing out shortcomings
Anime games ranked by IGN scale up to 7.
Still getting it Friday with Steller Blade and Class of Heroes 1+2(switch)
Will you actually play any of em? These are lengthy games
What are those games?
@@stevenh.2459 reportedly stellar blade’s only around 30 hours long
damn bros copping mid
Another review that sounds like its above a 6, but of course.. 6.
will pick it up at a later time when its on sale
Ign is the only one saying this is bland
Reminds me of Chrono Trigger. Thank you, Akira Toriyama. Rest in Power.
This looks like it would be perfect on the switch 🤞
If switch can run Dragon Quest 11 and Tears of The Kingdom I'm sure this could be on it.
It’s gonna have to wait until it’s on sale

Dang it oh well at least we have the anime on hulu (and/or disney plus) I'm trying to get people to be aware the anime exists
🔥 Dark Cloud Vibes 💚
Im personally loving it so far. One side quest about a father and daughter made me cry
U guys should watch the anime
It looked incredible, but downloaded the demo was more fun than actually playing it.
Salutations, la Démo n'est vraiment pas représentative du jeu final. Enfin bref, je vous souhaite le meilleur. Prenez bien soin de vous et des vôtres.
Woah woah woah! I'm shocked! Not even a 7 :(
Looks gorgeous.
if it was a DEI ESG game ign would give a higher rating
This game is 70 Euro in the store. Come on ...
So? 2 hours of work. Whats your point
It's IGN and all but having played the game now; he isn't wrong. The game's barely 20 gigs because they use generic animations for most of the cutscenes instead of making unique ones to capture the essence of the shots of the manga panels.
It looks like a nice game to play for sometime but do not worth the fullprice...
The story is the same as the Anime, Manga + Forest Land, with filler.
Can’t wait to play ❤️
Seems like a great game to get...when it's on sale, unfortunately
It looks like a bunch of kids recreating the Mad Max game by playing with Troll Dolls and Hot Wheels in their sandpit
This game makes me wish for a DragonBall game. Imagine playing as Kid Goku
After playing the demo and the initial trailers, I'm not surprised. A shame though.
I’m loving the game.I would give it an 8
Same
So in other words its an amazing game and never listen to IGN sweet going to buy it now!
Can't wait
Sand Land Akira Toriyama
Not surprised
I’m waiting on the switch version
yo straight up after almost finishg the game....
WHAT??????
Still playing for myself
don't listen to this guy plzzzzz. in many other reviews it got a 9 out of 10.
android 18 with dreads
Source Material? There's only 14 Chapters
Buying simply as a tribute to Toriyama and to support his family
haha you're saying like he's not a multi- millionaire and living on the edge with just minimal money in his bank account.
@@DerezeddHe’s dead, brainlet
@@Derezeddhe passed away. Man chill. Many online have stated they are or have bought sandland out of respect to him and his mark on the manga and anime industry. Doesn’t matter how much money he had or left behind if it reminds his family how many people toriyama touch with his work. Which whether you agree or not his worked has touched many for decades.
You sound like a queer
@@Derezeddyou are evil
Damn you gave Sonic Forces a higher rating?
The main character is a young Prince Vegeta‼️🤔
So manor lord 7
Stellar blade 7 and now
Sand lands 6
Let me see
Next cod will be 10/10
And any AAA slop that releases for their biased needs
Crazy how all the outlets outside of west is giving score above 8 for the games
What was the previous COD rated? Do you forget so fast?
Lol butthurt much😂
@@LogicalError007 40/10, obviously.
C'mon dude just look at the Sand Lands Gameplay looks lame af... Just cuz Toriyama did the artstyle doesn't mean It should get a 11/10
You forgot anything Nintendo gets an instant 9 or 10 even tho most are games we’ve played 10 times over
This looks hella fun
just thought of xenogears with this kind of gameplay....
This seems like my kind of game.
IGN is like rotten tomatoes but for video games if they give it a low score ill play the game.
A fair review score
Score shield
Majin Buu's Son.
If IGN gives it a low score then that means its a gem. IGN gives everything goyslop high scores.
sorry, don't trst game urinalist reviews, still buygin stellar blade+sand land day 1
don't listen to this guy plzzzzz. in many other reviews it got a 9 out of 10.
These aren't bad reviews though. Just because you're hyped for a game doesn't mean any criticism is invalid
@@TheNameIsSR its very positive on steam so its doing very well.
@@princexrocco38 Steam reviews aren't exactly the best way to judge a games quality. If you look into it now, a ton of them are marked positive because of the involvement of Toriyama, but they haven't actually spent any time playing the game yet...
100 percent seeing several animations from dragon ball z kakarot
Crazy
don't listen to this guy plzzzzz. in many other reviews it got a 9 out of 10.
Can't really trust this review, since you can't even get the Dev's name correct.
Amazing game
Only gave it a 6 to be lower than stellaboobs

The review sounds more like an 8 to me
Looks fun
Pickle pancakes.
nah this is better than a 6
It’s a strong 7.5/8 ign can smd
Look like borderlands
Bad review= Less sales
Less sales=Less physical copies
Less physical copies= HODL
HODL= Resell in the future
Resell in the future= $$$
There are a few games from the past that would support that formula, but is not always the case, some games are never worth anything.
Slowest investment ever
This is literally a Sponsored Reviewed.
Hell no!!
Hey, maybe if you're going to review something you should say the devs name correctly.
doesn't look very interesting
Just because Toriyama is dead doesn't mean everything he ever made needs to rank in the 8, 9, or 10 categories.
This is a 6 compared to Ratchet and Clank.
No matter what score IGN gives a game people will hate in the comments. Like this game legit looks like a boring time
You should've looked in the comments no one was upset about the score, and yes the game looks too boring if you have to fight melee when you have vehicles and vice versa
it's not boring, tbh
Yeah, i'm just wondering what so many people are doing here if they hate IGN so much? It seems like many wants IGN to give certain scores and when they don't they complain
IGN...where you find the saltiest reviews🤣
Wow.... 7 for stellar blade and 6 for sandland in a single day.... 😅
