It's a fantasy adventure that sees protagonist Frey partner with a magical sentient bracelet named Cuff, before blasting enemies with various magic effects. Check out Aoife's video preview of the game. However, the game was also criticised for its racial stereotyping. Square Enix came under fire when Frey was described as having a "hip-hoppy kind of walk" by performance director Tom Keegan. Square Enix appears to be having some trouble with its latest releases. Though it was a critical success, Guardians of the Galaxy didn't meet the company's sales expectations. More recently, the Platinum Games developed Babylon's Fall is off to a bad start, with low numbers on Steam and little marketing behind it.
