Sand Land Review - The Final Verdict 

Sand Land aka “if Akira Toriyama made Mad Max.”

I like that this game really tries to do something different then just the typical jrpg tropes. If this ever comes to switch, id buy it in a second.

Looks like it'll be a solid addition to my backlog but even the "budget" $60 price point seems a bit ambitious for what's actually on offer here. I'll gladly pick it up once it gets around the $40 price point.

Such a fun game! Already 10 hours in! The world is a blast to run around in and it’s fun customizing your vehicles. So glad I grabbed this:)

It’s actually a fun game. It’s not boring at all and the story, while a bit simple does offer a lot. It’s a combination of Borderlands and some rpg elements.

The demo was pretty decent. I dont know if I’d buy it day one but I do want it.

This game shines in what it is, though I did wish the game forced me to use Beelzebub more during the story over my vehicles ( Specifically boss fights). You're not gonna see sand the entire time playing there is another map called Forestland you can visit. 9/10 for me. This game shines if you play is on hard or higher.

playing it now, enjoying the game for what it is.

has anyone run in to a color issue? everyone's colors for me seem inverted for some reason

Sandland looks so fun

Hopefully, this does well enough to get another Sandland game or maybe even a Dr Slump game.

I would be interested in Re-reviews of past games. After so many years, no patch updates are getting pushed through and dlc's are out, re-review a game. Did it hold up, has it improved since, not as good as you thought it was.....

Why does this look fun though lol I think they just rushed it but it could’ve been much better

Brought this and stella blade , been playing the hell out of sandland , haven't even touched stella yet lol , this game ROCKS !!!!

I loved the manga and am flabbergasted to discover there is now a movie, a game and even a series!

Basically a decent to good game, but it's better to wait for sale, updates, patches, dlc, etc.

I don't like when enemies scale to your level. It makes upgrades abd grinding worthless in my opinion. That can sometimes make it or break it for me. 🙏🏽 I'll probably get it when it's on a deep sale.

Looks really AWESOME!!!

The futuristic sequel to The Sand Lot😢..For..e...ver...For..e..ver ‼️

DBZ FTW!

In terms of graphics, it's good. It's nicely rendered with cell-shading. The environments and characters reminded me of DBZ world but my biggest gripe about this game is the enemies A.I. level of difficulty in battle. Most enemies A.I. under normal difficulty is poor, to say the least. Enemies tend to just stand there and let you hit them. Enemies do attack but they do it in a "take turn" alternate pattern. For example, when you fight against two or more enemies in battle, you attack one while the others just either stand there blocking or run around wait for their turn. I get a sense that this game is for kids but even so, the enemies A.I. shouldn't be so predictable.

I was bored of all the sand during the demo. I felt like Anakin Skywalker.

how much in steam?

the game is amazing... period

Seems fun but not paying $100 AUD for this

Shame it’s not that good, was really looking forward to it

So it's decent gameplay but boring grind/story, might play it looks cool.

Ive been waiting on this, I don’t need to break new ground just enjoy some Toriyama video game that isn’t DW

Games everybody cares about except me

Better the Kakarot? Same?

Tbh the vehicle's could be faster..

I hate how you have to keep pressing the X button on ps5 to keep the dialogue going. How tedious. Sometimes you press it and the character only delivers one word or a grunt before you have to press it again. I also hate how they keep repeating the same things over and over while you are driving around. Just why? Why? And how he says "I'll keep this. I may need it." EVERY single time you pick something up, or "Here we go" when you climb something. Fifty times. A hundred times. A thousand times. And when you loot a chest the text is so small you can't even read it so you don't even know what you're getting. Oh, and don't forget your side characters constantly telling you how to solve puzzles before you even have five seconds to think about it just in case you are that stupid. If you can even call them puzzles. "Look. There's some junk in the way. Maybe we should shoot it with our tank!" Duuuh. Would never have figured that out myself pal. I hate how, when you get out of your tank and take five steps away from it, it disappears, so now you have to go into the menu again, find it again and produce it again. Why??? These annoying things were a conscious decision that they made. They intentionally put these things in the game for some reason. And don't even get me started on the music. At least you can turn that off in the options menu unlike the endless repetitive banter.

Good, but very repetitive

Let not forget that this is the last work Akira Toriyama worked on

This looks super basic

Just looks like Anime borderlands to me

You can’t shoot a gun on foot?🤦‍♂️

Beelzebub and Satan in DBZ wtf? Was this guy a satanist or something?

Wow... the opening demo showed as exciting as paint drying

I dont know. To me it Feels like an empty world. Not much different from most JRPGs. I was looking forward to tank combats but even that looks slow. Gonna pass I guess.

the demo though, holy F so boring

Demo was boring as hell

Really? 7/10?! Akira Toriyama tragically passed away earlier this year, and you guys at GB just gave a gaming adaption of one of his works a pathetic score of 7/10?!
