Balancing: Some of the enemies have way too much health and hit way too hard, a way of getting more money out of you, because you basically need to buy additional figures Ken lifts weights every day of the week to somehow justify spending the remainder of his free time playing video games, reading comic books, watching movies, and not getting nearly enough sleep. There's very little good to say about "Skylanders: Imaginators," other than that it retains a few of the standard things you'd expect the "Skylanders" series to have: some pretty visuals, decent music, and accessible gameplay for the younger audience it is geared for. So, at the very least, the game, as a whole, is functional, and it controls as smoothly as the other games in the franchise.

Activision has announced Skylanders: Imaginators for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, which is set for release – we think – on 14th October in Europe and 16th October in North America. The press releases aren't very clear, but we predict that approximately 12 people will read... In the past, the ancients used powerful Mind Magic to conjure and create anything they could think of. However, one of the Ancients, known as Brain, tried to use Mind Magic to brainwash all of Skylands, so the ancients sealed him away, and sealed away the power of Mind Magic so evil could not use it.Cutscenes: very repetitive, way to many of them, mostly unskippable, ruin your emersion and the flow of the game The overall experience at the centre of all Skylanders: Imaginators' toys and loot chests is so charming and feature-rich that kids will enjoy it and adults won't begrudge playing it alongside them. If you don't mind the potentially large financial undertaking that a Skylanders game represents, then this is perfect for younger players.
