[PS5] The Last Hero: Exploring the Unknown – A Review

Okay, so here’s the thing. I was diving into this game called The Last Hero: Journey to the Unknown. It’s one of those 2D fantasy action gigs. Ratalaika Games and Titan Art whipped it up, and you know what? It’s like stepping into some magical wonderland. Or is it chaos? Hard to tell sometimes, honestly.

So, picture this: You, running around with a sword and shield, trying to school this evil dude, uh, Wizard Voidgem. Yeah, that’s his name. He’s gone and snatched all the magical doodads and sent his mean little monsters to mess everything up. You think you’re ready for this? There are like 30 levels. Thirty! I know, right? Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to stomp out these creatures and snag back those relics.

Oh, and funny story — I got distracted right at the start. As soon as the game kicked off, there I was fiddling with the controller, trying to remember what does what. Like, you jump with X, attack with Square, defend with Circle. But then, I kind of forgot where I was going with this. There’s rolling and dashing too, with R1 and R2. Just don’t ask me how many times I hit the wrong button.

And let me tell you, the gold coins — every enemy gives them up when you smack ‘em down. End of level, it’s shopping spree time. Power-ups galore! "Hot Meteors," "Double Shot," something else with spikes… I mean, who even thinks up this stuff? Also, how on earth are you supposed to save gems? I barely had health left after a level, and somehow, poof, no gems. Coincidence? Maybe, or I’m just terrible at managing resources.

Now, something about Ratalaika Games — you get these shiny Platinum trophies. It’s like candy for gamers, right? I may have, uh, lost a couple of hours just going after one. Dual versions for PS4 and PS5. Great. More chances to procrastinate. Whoops.

Anyway, did I mention — wait, I think I did — the potions? They’re there to save your bacon when things get dicey. You can buy them with gems. Extra hearts, more coins, that kind of thing. And everything’s for both PS4 and PS5 for just $4.99. Feels like I’ve been repeating myself, but it just seems like a sweet deal.

Bottom line: The Last Hero is a whirlwind of colorful chaos, button mashing, and a mild case of confusion. Unsure if I’m a hero yet, though. Have I ever been? Eh, who knows. Anyway, give it a whirl if you’re up for it. Ignore my ramblings if it doesn’t sound like your jam.
