How we calculate this ➔Calibration Shape
The Final Calibration
Victory Road is a massive undertaking by Level-5. The Chronicle Mode, featuring over 4,500 characters, is an unparalleled achievement in series longevity. However, our calibration notes that the onboarding process is quite slow, and the scouting system requires a significant grind that may alienate newcomers. Visually, the transition to 4K/60fps on PS5 is transformative for the anime aesthetic, making it the best-looking entry by a wide margin.
