GamesCreedMahi ArafAug 20254.4/5Given Space Adventure Cobra – The Awakening’s budget they have worked with, we can cut Magic Pockets some slack for some of the game’s shortcomings. The story campaign offers approximately twelve hours of content, with side missions and unlockables adding to its replay value.

Cubed3Aug 20254/10As a homage to a classic cult anime series, Space Adventure Cobra: The Awakening sort of works. The animation has the right feel, and fans of the show and those nostalgic about it will absolutely have a blast with that part. Unfortunately, the gameplay completely disregards that nostalgia this title relies on to appeal to its audience. It doesn't help that the level design is at times a massive disaster. While impressive, the boss fights, anime cutscenes, and campy '80s feel do not save this.

GameLusterMateusz NiewierowskiAug 20254/10Overlong levels, confusing structure and unsatisfying basics leave only the charisma of the source material to carry an otherwise average attempt at reviving a classic.
