Furi

The jailer is the key, kill him and you'll be free... You've been locked up for quite some time now and it's time to finally unleash your wrath on the guardians who are keeping you trapped. It won't be easy that's for certain, but if you can learn to master this action-packed indie, it just might be possible to exact your revenge.

Furi is sure to make your adrenaline rise at least once, with formidable bosses and a fantastic story, each moment of the game -- whether it be narrative or combat -- drives you towards the ending of the game that you choose. You don't need to be a dueling master -- failing in Furi is part of the fun as each lost life means that you're one step closer to understanding the mechanics and therefore one step closer to victory. Simply put, if you can get past the difficulty and see the beauty behind it, you're sure to have a blast with this game and especially on the Nintendo Switch.

May it be the likes of Shadow of the Colossus or Metal Gear Solid, if it’s quite there but not enough to push the boundaries, it’s still an awesome game.

Furi is an excellent little game. With ten thrilling boss fights and excellent movement options, it is just a pure joy to play. The only real problem is that the experience is over before you know it. Sure, you can play it multiple times and get better, but there is some loss of the magic there. That initial thrill made me pumped to take on the next step, and see what journey had in store for me. The feeling when you overcome the odds is wonderful.

Furi is an action / shoot’em up with a great art style and challenging boss battles. Let’s see how the game has translated to the Nintendo Switch version.

It’s an experience worth the price of admission at $20, but there’s a part of me that wishes there was more exploration, more “trash mob” fights between the bosses, and more to do altogether. As an example of boss fights at their finest, Furi is a great game. And when it was over, I felt like I’d achieved something, even on easy mode. I suppose the reason I’m a little disappointed in the game is that it left me wanting more and that’s a good thing. Furi is out today, January 11t...

Furi is a delight to play through. Its fast-paced combat and reliance on both good reflexes and getting a feel of every fight’s rhythm, alongside a very genuine sense of satisfaction when you beat a boss make for a very good action game. Should you be looking for difficult, varied boss fights complemented by a great soundtrack and colorful visuals, Furi should definetly be on your radar.

Furi is a surprisingly deep indie experience. Seeping from its pores with aesthetic and simple yet overwhelmingly brutal gameplay.

Furi is an intense, ultra-responsive hack-and-slash with a mix of fast-paced sword fighting and dual-stick shooting.

Furi isn’t exactly perfect, but with its unique visual and audio design, there’s plenty to like. Being July’s PS Plus game, it’s a damn fine addition to your collection, but at £18.99 I feel it might be a bit steep; there’s just not enough to offer good value for the player. That said, if you’re someone who enjoys boss battling in an impressively designed game than perhaps that seems a fair price to you. Either way, I enjoyed playing and completing it in about the five hours I did on my first run.

Few games boast the audacious style of Furi. The wildly colorful visuals and retro/sci-fi soundtrack immediately establish a world like no other, grabbing you and refusing to let go. Like a digital pied piper, Furi brought a steady stream of intrigued coworkers to my desk to watch over my shoulder while I played. Once they got a sense of the gameplay, however, they didn't stick around long. While Furi has some substance behind its style, the unforgiving difficulty takes its toll.
