Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City Review
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City offers a charming co-op VR experience with strong parkour mechanics and humorous dialogue, but ultimately falls short due to weak combat, repetitive quests, and numerous technical bugs.
- The game's story is forgettable and predictable, featuring familiar TMNT characters in typical roles without much depth or innovation.
- While the parkour elements across three limited open-world hubs are enjoyable, the game suffers from barren environments and repetitive side activities that quickly become tedious.
- Combat is simplistic and often frustrating, with inconsistent hit detection and enemy AI, while stealth mechanics are overly forgiving and unchallenging.
- Technical issues are a major problem, including mission-breaking bugs and lack of proper save points, which can result in significant progress loss and player frustration.
