Freedom Wars Remastered is a refreshed version of the action RPG produced by Sony Interactive Entertainment, originally released for PS Vita in 2014. The game combines elements known the Amazing Spider-Man series. Dimps Corporation is responsible for creating the remaster.
Freedom Wars presents a dystopian vision of the distant future in which people live in large walled cities known as the Panopticon. Our hero is sentenced to one million years in prison due to the oppressive actions of the Panopticon. To shorten his sentence, he undertakes dangerous missions to free citizens captured by giant mechanical monsters called Abductors. He also slowly uncovers the conspiracy.
After creating our character, we wake up in a cell, being under constant observation. Sleeping or running to the store are privileges that come at a price and add years to our sentence. To reduce it, we set out on missions to rescue citizens from the hands of large mechanical monsters, previously selecting equipment and four team .
Weapons come in many types, allowing for shooting or engaging in hand-to-hand combat. Both in combat and when moving around, we are aided by the Thorn wrapped around our wrist, which acts similarly to a hook. We can attach it to buildings, containers, walls and enemies, as well as grab items and "revive" teammates.
The combat in Freedom Wars requires strategic thinking. Abductors appear in different forms and consist of separately treated elements - legs, arms, weapons, etc. We can deprive them of body parts and then upgrade our own weapon with them. The production time of items is shortened by asg rescued citizens to this task. Apart from the Abductors, we face fast and agile convicts from other Panopticons.
The game also has stealth elements.
Compared to the original, Freedom Wars Remastered adds difficulty settings and improves the weapon crafting system.
In Freedom Wars Remastered we are dealing with textures, models, and interface in higher resolution, including 4K.

Game Ratings for Freedom Wars Remastered Video Game.
TheSixthAxis: 6 / 10 by Dominic Leighton
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.
