    Review : Lost Soul Aside : Almost Found

    In 2016, Sony Interactive Entertainment launched the first of its PlayStation Hero Projects, the China Hero Project, aimed at uplifting smaller, unknown developers from regions of the world that are underrepresented in the video game space. Amongst the first of these projects was a game from a solo Chinese developer, Yang Bing, who had started development in 2014 and posted a trailer on YouTube in 2016 that attracted the video game giant's attention.

    After signing on to a partnership that same year for funding, and in 2022 a publishing arrangement, this game managed to generate a lot of hype from its occasional showings at various industry events. After more than a decade of development, we have the finished project, the long-vaunted Lost Soul Aside. So, as with all games, we ask the question: was it worth the hype? Let's find out.

    [...]

    Fun Found, Still Seeking Soul
    The phrase "big, dumb fun" is best suited for the sort of experience found in Lost Soul Aside, where what's happening, why it's happening, nor how it's happening is to be thought too hard on and the game is just played for what it is, and there's enjoyment in that. Its asking price may be a little steep, but a well-informed buyer would definitely find it worth the money.

    Lost Soul Aside is, despite its issues with the voice acting and story, still a fun romp. The engaging combat, impressive set pieces, and quality art style more than compensate for the game's shortcomings. The developer, Utilizero, has made a decent attempt with it, and with some story refinement, a better translation, and stronger cast of performers, their next game could be truly special.

    Score: 6/10
