I played Savage Reign for the first time yesterday. It's all right I guess; I like that it doesn't take itself seriously. But, man, after a while, I was longing to play through SamSho 2 again. I liked that the characters have character, meaning they're goofy and fun. And the game controls well enough, and the whole platform jumping concept is interesting. But yeah, the overall experience is just kind of mediocre. But I got it for cheap, and it will surely make for a fun playthrough with buddies and beer in short doses.
Not sure what the reputation is on this one. Perhaps someone will call me out for being a casual and not appreciating the depth or whatever. Hahaha, I don't know, man. For me, Savage Reign was very meh. But like I said, I'll pull it out next time I have buddies over, because I'm sure it'll be a kick in multiplayer, for a little while at least.
