The first two My Hero Academia games – or My Hero One’s Justice, as they were inexplicably renamed – were your bog-standard Bandai Namco anime brawler affairs. But the publisher appears to be going all-in with this third entry, My Hero Academia: All’s Justice.
Designed to depict the final battles from the manga, this could be the last entry in the series.
And so, in addition to the Story mode – which puts your choices at the centre of the plot – you’ll also find the open world Team-Up Mission, where you can explore a sandbox at your leisure and partake in side-quests.

You’ll also unlock Archives Battle, which features famous fights from earlier in the manga, and the Hero’s Diary, where you can interact with characters from the source material in new and interesting ways.
Of course, you’ll also find the usual mix of local and online multiplayer, and a battle system that’s designed to give you training wheels if you’re new to the mechanics, which you can then slowly toggle off.
Now, nothing here is particularly ground-breaking, but it’s certainly much more fleshed out than previous games in the series.
We went hands-on with this earlier in the year and it felt good to play, so we’re optimistic this is going to finally do the manga justice, and wrap up the story in a fulfilling way.
