The Japan-based studio is less than a decade old, but already it's put out a string of critically acclaimed titles such as Bayonetta (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/13/bayonetta-2-review-a-witchs-witch/),Vanquish and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It's built a reputation on fast-paced action and deep, rewarding combat, and now it wants to prove it can deliver a compelling RPG experience too. Scalebound, the studio's Xbox One exclusive, is scheduled for release in 2016 and until recently, we've seen little of the game beyond a short CG teaser (http://www.engadget.com/2014/06/09/platinum-invites-you-to-battle-monsters-in-scalebound-exclusive/). At Gamescom, the studio revealed a glimpse of its gameplay (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5ldMjl-n3c&feature=youtu.be) and now, after watching an extended demo, I've decided Scalebound is the Xbox exclusive I'm most excited about.
