The expectations were high for the game, especially coming from a team led by Hideki Kamiya and considering that this is an Xbox One exclusive. According to Forbes, their previous works were really good in the context of functionality.

As for this game, the site stated that the combat and general pacing were already familiar. Somehow, to others, the gameplay looked surprisingly plain, especially coming from Platinum Games.

It was in terms of functionality that previous Platinum Games' titles were enjoyed by many because they bring out something different — like the player would learn and master something new in terms of gaming functionality — and that was not quite evident with "Scalebound" right now.

The good thing about reviews, they give the creator an idea on what the gamers think of the product, which is always important. This way, the creator will know if there are things about the game that he still needs to improve or work on prior the official release.

There's no word on the exact release date of the game, but many are anticipating that it is going to be in the late 2016. There are high hopes that whatever functionality issues the game has, it can be fixed before its release.

Meanwhile, "Scalebound" creative producer Jean Paul Pierre Kellams revealed that Platinum's added a "spice" to the game which made it unique, and that was Thuban, IGN has learned. It is a dragon bonded to the player and at the same time behaves independently alongside Drew.

Game creator Kamiya has always been fascinated with dragons and he wanted to incorporate the mythical creatures into his games. Unfortunately, dragons were stereotyped as the enemies.

"Scalebound" is a dream come true for him. Finally, a game where a dragon is not a beast to be defeated but a companion for a human character.

"There's a level of intelligence to dragons to the point where they're almost godlike," Kamiya said. "There's something very special about them."
