Platinum Games used to be the golden standard for fast-paced action combat fun games in an era where Japanese game development went through a dark phase. They gave us many brilliant games, however in the way they stumbled and what used to be banger after banger then became inconsistent. We arrive in the present where they've released Babylon's Fall, a once promising Platinum experience turned into live-service and their worst received game yet. Alongside openly discussing the idea of being acquired, it seems this studio's independence hasn't gone very well for them and they would perhaps do what they do best under the mantle of a bigger publisher.
