There are shoddily edited cutscenes where audio cuts abruptly, poor audio mixing where dialogue is drowned out by the music, and - despite being an action game - I recommend sticking with Resolution Mode, as visuals are distractingly blurry in Performance Mode, which also has problems maintaining a solid 60FPS. Get a sense of the, er, tone of Stranger of Paradise with its big, final trailer.Ĭompared with the lavish production values of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Stranger of Paradise is straight up B-tier, and while I can abide a camp, trashy romp, much of the presentation just had me laughing for all the wrong reasons.

As much as the developers may cringe at the memes that have been going around since the game's reveal, it's not an exaggeration when I say most of what comes out of Jack's mouth can be summed up as "I have to kill Chaos" and "Where is Chaos?" with nary a hint of humour or charisma to compensate.
