A faithful remake of the original, Charming and goofy in its characters and atmosphere, Plenty of variety in its locations and enemies,

The Ghost Ship captain boss fight is more annoying with the addition of rain effects, Lack of hitstun and invincibility after getting hit often leads to some unavoidable deaths, Camera control still weak in some areas, hiding crucial jumps or spinning whe
MediEvil shows that it's possible to take a classic and completely remake the look from the ground up but still make it feel as it once did two decades ago...
Verdict: The philosophy of remaking MediEvil in 2019 without modernizing the platforming, boss fights, and save points ends up feeling like a project half finished. This tribute to an often-forgotten game and its memorable underdog protagonist is gorgeous...
