Soul Sacrifice, on the other hand? That was entirely my jam. While I never got deep into Freedom Wars, the neon sci-fi and dystopian-fueled aesthetic always stood out to me. When Sony threw their own hat into the ring, the titles they brought to the table were more than just Monster Hunter with a different skin and some dressings. One could say, even to their own detriment. Games like Toukiden, God Eater, and Ragnarok Odyssey all sought to closely mimic the gameplay loop of Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter was one of the reasons that the PSP could compete so closely with the DS in Japan, and so with the absence of a mainline title on the Vita – many companies attempted to fill the void, not the least Sony themselves. One of the most defining aspects of last generation handhelds was the jump that Capcom made with Monster Hunter, from the PSP to the 3DS. Soul Sacrifice was one of those games, and it deserved far better.
