Golden Axe: Beast Rider

If the above video does not explain to you why I am playing this game, then there is nothing else I can say.

In all seriousness, I've so far enjoyed the latest iteration of the Golden Axe franchise. It's not for everyone, make no mistake about that. It does not try to reinvent the wheel; does not try to be anything other than a hack-and-slash action game.

As I've played through it so far, I've felt like I've been playing an upgraded version of the arcade classic. Does it get everything correct? No. But then I never thought it had to. Golden Axe: Beast Rider has its problems and shortcomings but for me this has not ruined my enjoyment of the title. For me, it's just fun and that's why I play video games.
