Beast of Reincarnation: slick combat, but a familiar ride

TL;DR Summary
Beast of Reincarnation offers fast, stylish action and a plant-powered traversal plus a big dog companion, but Game Freak’s new title largely recycles ideas from NieR: Automata, Monster Hunter, Death Stranding, and Star Wars, with a murky, underdeveloped world and a tutorial that withholds explanations for hours. Despite mood and visuals, the game feels derivative and unfinished, launching August 4 on PS5, Xbox, and PC.
