What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Gameplay is pretty much straightforward, it's enjoyable although can feel a little grindy and repetitive over time.
My only critiques would be that music, while the songs are great, feels a bit more repetitive than the older games as music plays per story chapter the opponents are introduced in, along with only having one team leader theme and two exploration themes.
The graphics are well-presented thanks to Unreal Engine 5 (for once an optimised UE5 game at that!) - it's lightweight in size and easy to run the game even on my slightly underspec'd machine.
TXR 2025 is a not insignificant step up in graphics from the previous entry but I think it misses the mark musically, they have some good tracks but the lacking variety and call backs to the ost from 3 make me wish they'd just added all the old OST's and had them as cyclable options.
Atmosphere and graphics are big W, mechanics feel great especially on controller.
Perfect on SteamDeck!
