It has been replaced by Gleipnir, though there’s not much new here as it ostensibly is attempting to do the same thing. Fenrir - the organisation fighting against monstrous beings called Aragami that have destroyed human civilisation and taken over the planet - is no more after a second apocalyptic event that has caused even more dangerous environments called Ashlands to appear and expand across the globe. God Eater 3 effectively throws away most of the events of the previous titles, taking place some years after and moving events to an unspecified part of northern Europe. While God Eater 3 retains much of what made the previous entries enjoyable, it neglects to advance them. However, while Capcom took the opportunity of not being burdened by the restrictions of handhelds to produce Monster Hunter: World last year, Bandai Namco’s corresponding effort comes off as a comparatively disappointing by-the-numbers follow-up that neither inspires fans or those coming into the series for the first time. With the 2016 releases of God Eater Resurrection and God Eater 2: Rage Burst, Bandai Namco firmly established the series as the biggest competitor to Capcom’s Monster Hunter.
