Sand Land has been a very nice surprise this year, and a great tribute to Akira Toriyama- the Japanese Manga Artist and Character Designer who created Dragonball and worked on video game series like Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Blue Dragon and many others. He passed away earlier this year, so it’s cool to see Sand Land come out this year, which based on his Manga of the same name.
This is an Unreal Engine 5 game, it actually runs at native 4k 60fps on PS5 (according to Digital Foundry Direct episode 162). I specifically bought this version over PC, despite my desktop being more powerful than the PS5 because the Steam version is riddled with shader compilation and traversal stutter. It runs perfectly on PlayStation 5 though, I recommend this version over PC.
The game reminds me of something that you would play during the 6th or 7th console generation, it’s a fun adventure game, set in an open world with lots of cool vehicle combat. You get a tank not too far into the game but you slowly are able to build more cool mechs and other vehicles. I would classify this as a AA game, it has a decent budget and good voice acting and cinematics. Just nothing as crazy as what you would see in a PlayStation Studios game where they spend millions on expensive cutscenes that arguably aren’t necessary (at least not at such a high fidelity), this is one of the bad habits (imo) that has caused game development cycles to reach 6-8 years for a single game.
I found this game to be a refreshing return to how games used to be, it’s doing a lot of things and manages to do a pretty good job at many of them, but it’s not trying to GREAT at any of them (and that is OK!). I honestly wish we would see more games like this, it’s very enjoyable and you can get many hours out of this game. I’m 20 hours in and not even close to the end yet. I recommend it and am glad Bandai Namco and ILCA made this!
