“We take your feedback to heart” – Game Freak promises to improve Beast of Reincarnation following a divisive launch
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Game Freak announced a forthcoming patch for its newly released action‑RPG Beast of Reincarnation, aiming to address widespread criticism of the game’s polish and pacing. The update, slated for next week, will adjust camera behavior, enlarge text, set Performance mode as the default on consoles, and fix numerous bugs. It will also introduce the first of several planned story‑pacing improvements, part of a longer‑term effort to refine the experience. The studio posted a link to a player survey on X to collect additional feedback. Reviews have been mixed; Eurogamer’s Matt Wales gave the title three stars, describing it as “glorious” in moments but “aggravating, unfinished, and dull” overall. Steam users echo similar concerns, contributing to a mixed rating.
💡 Why It Matters
