Cobra Kai: The Karate Saga Continues (PS4)

Product Information

Real actor voices to most of the fighters is refreshing. The enemies you fight is a bit out there ranging from Hipsters, Hippies, Karen Moms, Emos and Car salesmen.

I opted for Miyagi-do as the style is my favourite. While they focus on the defensive game, that doesn’t mean that it’s much different to Cobra Kai as there are plenty of moves to perform, albeit, specials are ice-based, Cobra Kai’s are fire. Those that know me will be the first to tell you – I would struggle to punch my way out of a wet paper bag. But what are computer games if not pure, undiluted escapism? Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues is exactly that, and being a child of the 80’s it is quite the double-whammy – not only do I get to imagine that I could punch my way out of that bullying paper bag, but I could do it while pretending to be the Karate Kid at the same time.Still, that hokeyness is met in kind by a more emotionally challenging season. Tory’s (Peyton List) story most certainly wins MVP this year, with Hawk (Jacob Bertrand) coming in at a close second. Each of them find their dynamics challenged in completely different ways, continuing Cobra Kai’s strong success with its large ensemble. To get the Dodge the Irony achievement/trophy you must defeat Armand with Miguel's Personal Jump Skill. Miguel is not an available character during the Miyagi-Do campaign so this can only be done during a Cobra Kai playthrough where you will encounter Armand as the final boss at the end of the 5th Avenue Bar Stage. For a more polished experience, Streets of Rage 4would be your go-to side-scroller. However, if you want an over-the-top enjoyable experience that still has those repetitive elements of a typical brawler, Cobra Kai The Karate Kid Saga Continuesdoes deliver in the B-movie type vibe that the show gives off. A cult following than is doing a mae geri to the mainstream.

Cobra Kai The Karate Kid Saga Continuesis as divisive as the TV series. This game fromFlux Game Studioand GameMill Entertainmentis a continuation of the Karate Kiduniverse, bringing in characters from the series including both Daniel and Johnny and the students of Miyagi-do and Cobra Kai dojo. Yes, that means Hawk [insert overused bird screech effect]. I hate that guy on so many levels. To play this game on PS5, your system may need to be updated to the latest system software. Although this game is playable on PS5, some features available on PS4 may be absent. See PlayStation.com/bc for more details. Using the elements to identify each other wasn’t the best, in my opinion, and while realism isn’t the focus, some of the effects in Cobra Kai The Karate Kid Saga Continues are a bit over the top, and special effects will appear mid-screen, overlapping other graphical elements. Only a minor flaw, but this coupled with the bush baby eyes of Sam (didn’t look good) made me exit out and switch to Cobra Kai. I have the PS4 version of this game, it had the same bugs as the PC version. The two main bugs that bugged me were.I'm happy to report the frame rate has been tweaked, not fixed... it still feels a little stuttery but not as bad. You can play the game now. PC still has the better frame rate so far. Review Disclaimer: This review was carried out using a copy of the game provided by the publisher. For more information, please read our Review Policy.
