Perfect Sequel in everyway. The gameplay is absolute perfection, it keeps you on the fly and never gets old, the game is always throwing something new at you to do, most of the bosses are fun as shit to fight, the armies you can make are so unique and fun to mess around with, the hero patapon while really strong is great to play with, you can customize him to your liking, the music too is catchy with some bangers in there. This game i just love it so much, everytime i play and finish it i just wanna pick it up and play it again. Basically play this fucking game, i dont care if you're playing another game this game is short, go out and play it.

A lot of highs and a lot of lows. I Respect Patapon 3 for trying something different but, when you play this game solo, honestly this game kinda sucks. The difficulty is very unbalanced solo, due to the game just having a straight exp system, you cant be slightly underleveled or else you'll get murdered, you will have to upgrade your weapons constantly to keep up with the mini bosses hp pools(or get lucky with a legendary weapon lmfaoooo), which means lots and lots of grinding yaaaaaaaay that's what Patapon is about. Another thing is that Your teammates suck, unless you really dedicate to give them good equipment the Uberhero will be carrying 95% of the time, and why the fuck is Hatapon following the Uberhero he has no reason to(context: the almighty fused with the hero meaning Hatapon is out of a job), he exists now to just hold the team back, if the Uberhero(if he's a shield class) or the shield class are dead, Hatapon will be vulnerable to damage........and one enemy sneeze and he's dead, and you cant upgrade his health either, like why?. The dungeons are pretty cool except the late game ones those are very bad, there's this one with the guillotines where you have to time the movement between the enemies stepping on it and you stepping on it, but a lot of the time it doesn't work right and its a one hit kill, the other one is the final dungeon, fuck this dungeon. the entire gimmick of the last one is that these razors are on a time limit and you have to either retreat or jump to dodge them, but the timing is so Strick that you will die a lot of the time, AND THEY THROW MINIBOSSES AT THE SAME TIME WHY???????, and keep in mind these dungeons can take over 20-30 minutes to get through so if you you fail you have to restart the entire dungeon, why there couldn't there be any checkpoints?. The removal of minigames is pretty lame since they were a good way of farming specific materials, and they were fun too. Bosses are very lame in this game, in the first 2 games it was all about dealing with their specific attacks, like dodonga oh hes gonna breath fire time to defend, oh hes gonna try to eat my patapons time to retreat, that level of strategy is completely gone in patapon 3(at least in the singleplayer), the bosses are pure stat checks because when you get them to a specific hp pool they will start to go apeshit and spam attacks. Multiplayer i would rate this game like 3/5 stars, but with singleplayer, i wouldn't bother.
