PlayStation 4 Critic Reviews

Furi kicked my ass, and I loved it. There was laughter, there were tears, but most of all, there was a goddamned great game. The combat is extremely taxing, but fair, and the narrative is surprisingly rewarding. If you’re a masochist, Furi is the game you’ve been waiting for.

Furi is a rare game: unique, challenging and fun, but it will almost certainly prove insurmountable for some.

Furi is a brilliant, fast-paced action game that combines elements from the classic Japanese bullet-hell shooters. The combat system is precise, the soundtrack epic and the engine runs flawlessly pretty much always.

Furi becomes essential by identifying and removing what it declares expendable.

Simply put, Furi stands out as one of the biggest surprises of the year. Few games manage to be this stylish and deep, all while crafting the perfect balance of challenge and reward.

Despite a niggling complaint or two about the overall structure, there is very little to dislike about Furi.

Furi is an extremely well directed game that mixes twin stick shooter and hack'n'slash mechanics. A frantic sequence of challenging boss fights accompanied by an excellent soundtrack.

Truly organic, high quality boss fights in action games are kind of a lost art that only a few developers still put effort to retain. Furi is fully concentrated in this kind of battles and unquestionably succeeds. Its boss battles are intense, lengthy, challenging and unpredictable while also fair, fun and never exhaustive.

Quotation forthcoming.

Furi is a short and sweet example of all the things that make flashy boss fights fun, without the mess of having to grind or figure out how to optimize one's equipment. If the premise intrigues you, chances are you'll enjoy Furi greatly.
