    [​IMG]TSA has reviewed The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Extended Edition:

    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Extended Edition Review Vlad tidings we bring.
    Every once in a while, review codes turn up at TSA for games that have been around for ages. It's something that hasn't been helped by the many releases in the series, with three games coming in staggered releases across PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In fact, I assumed this was the trilogy encompassing Final Cut, which has been on Steam for over a year, but it soon became apparent that Neocore have decided to release the three games on console as Extended Editions in turn. Given the full trilogy Final Cut is sat in my Steam library I was surprised that a similar release was not forthcoming here

    So The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Extended Edition (a name both to conjure with and to artificially pad out a review's word count) is the first of the three and the sole entry on PS4 right now, as it lags behind the other platforms. It's also out on Xbox One as of April, where the second game released in October of 2016, and the whole trilogy is already out on PC. Is this making much sense?

    [...]

    What's Good:
    • Gothic atmosphere
    • Great companion
    • Generally well-written
    • Compulsive action RPG gameplay
    What's Bad:
    • Attrition replaces difficulty
    • Too much useless loot
    • Incomplete
    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Extended Edition is a good action RPG that is a welcome addition to the PS4, but is held back by some uninspiring loot, uneven difficulty and the decision to release the trilogy one game at a time. This version does include all of the enhancements from the Final Cut, but it's difficult to recommend buying this alone when the full trilogy is so often discounted on PC. Given the likely future releases, I fully expect this to appear on PS+ fairly soon. So unless you have completely rinsed Diablo 3, and are bored of Alienation but desperate for more loot, I'd stake clear of this until the full trilogy is released.

    Score: 6/10​
