Gameplay is the hill where God Eater 3 stands on. To be fair, while light on story elements it does go miles above some of the story elements I got from Monster Hunter World since much of this game reminded me of Monster Hunter I will most likely be comparing a bit here and there. In the time since the last game, areas of the wilderness have become hazardous for even regular God Eaters to venture out in to, AGEs are stronger and faster than traditional God Eaters but are treated more like slaves than soldiers. You are an Adaptive God Eater, commonly called an AGEs, similar to the protagonist from previous games except AGEs are specifically engineered to better survive the Ashland. You create your character then jump right in. While yes, I get that it’s very popular to have the “silent protagonist” in a JRPG… it makes it easier to imprint yourself on those type of characters… but when a game like God Eater 3 has a fully fleshed out story, it’s hard to get into the narrative when I feel less like the main character and more like the very important side character. Much in the same vein as many JRPGs, your character is a mute hero, most of the game’s dialog and narrative come from your party members and several of the game’s other supporting characters. God Eater 3 has a self contained story, and I never felt like I HAD to have played the previous two games. I had a general idea of the story, having watched the God Eater anime series, which helped in further understanding this game’s setting. As an outsider looking in, this is my first God Eater game, the setting plus the core gameplay of “hunt big monsters” make this game feel like a mix between Attack on Titan and Monster Hunter, a post apocalyptic world plus hitting things with big swords. To combat these monsters, individuals called God Eaters wield weapons made specifically to slay Aragami. Written by Justin Prince ( in a world barely hanging on, bloodthirsty monsters called Aragami have claimed the world as their own.
