Freedom Wars Remastered offers one of the more intriguing visions of the future, but where its setting is thoroughly futuristic, its gameplay remains firmly in the past.

PPE.pl: 7 / 10 by Wojciech Gruszczyk

A simple remaster of a Vita classic. It's hard to talk about rapture, but also knowing what the original offered, one can't particularly criticize the premise.

One More Game: 7 / 10 by Ricki Buzon

Freedom Wars was a standout title on the PlayStation Vita for good reason. While it might be tempting to categorize it as another Monster Hunter clone, the unique Thorn mechanic, along with its compelling story and setting, distinguished it from other games in the genre. Given its return after nearly a decade, it certainly deserved better. The game is enjoyable overall, but some areas need improvement. Addressing the freezing issues and enhancing the quality of the English voiceovers would significantly elevate the experience. The League of Panopticon feature holds promise, potentially motivating players to engage and contribute to their region's standings. This feature proved successful in Helldivers II and could similarly benefit Freedom Wars.
