What players say
Dead rising... FANTASTIC This game truly is a masterpiece. I wasn't someone that grew up playing this or even that aware that it existed as a kid (so this hasn't been influenced by nostalgia at all) but at the beginning of this year this game was recommended to me by my older brother who has been obsessed with it for well over a year or so and I couldn't really understand why and to be honest I didn't want to...

It's a cool game but the way the boss fights work is : You try to hit them with melee? you get stunned and lose 1/3 of your HP, and you deal as much damage as if you hit them with a stale baguette. You try to shoot them? Your guns do as much damage as a nerf blaster. You try to heal mid combat? You get hit and the animation cancels. So basically for every boss fight you need to tediously run in circles around...
