Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Is Making The Wait For Injustice 3 Much More Bearable

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Is Making The Wait For Injustice 3 Much More Bearable https://ift.tt/zoD8Axv Let me get this straight: I play a lot of the best fighting games . I enjoy playing them. I am not good at the genre. Anything online requires me to adapt to players far beyond my skill level, and it’s almost pointless for me to attempt to reach that level. I just don’t have the time or patience to do it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t praise a game when it smashes it out of the park. After waiting for almost a decade for Injustice 3, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is keeping me occupied, and, to be honest, it may even be better than NetherRealm Studios’ take.

And better yet--it turns out that it actually was worth the wait, however hellish the road to this point may have seemed.

It wouldn't be completely accurate to call new Hellraiser a proper reboot--it doesn't attempt to retread any of the ground covered in either the original Clive Barker novella, The Hellbound Heart, or the original movie from 1986. The characters--barring one or two familiar-ish Cenobites--are brand-new, the story is brand-new, and the mythology of the world has been changed to benefit them. It's as much a "reboot" as any of the franchise's other installments (there are 10 of them--11 now, counting this one) that tossed out new characters and ideas without so much as a backwards glance to the story put forth across 1, 2 (and 6, kind of, if you want to get technical).
