    More Metroid than Super Metroid. Back to the original NES roots. If you are not a NES fan, you may have hard times on this game. But if you are American and still crazy on the NES-hype train, then this is your kind of drug. Almost no story, direct to the action. However game can be confusing at many times, and either you have to struggle for eternity to solve it, or consult on the NintendoMore Metroid than Super Metroid. Back to the original NES roots.

    7: Above average - It presented what we regularly see in a different way.    … Expand

    This game is not for everyone. A lot of people will understandably hate it, and a lot will understandably love it. The art style is one you find visually very appealing if you grew up with stuff like the game boy, but could also look like **** to anyone who plays nothing but AAA games. Fun mechanics, cool story thats also very, very hard to follow but wayyy too much backtracking.

    Honest and robust platformer with an interesting story, which is gracefully bowing to its old-times ancestors. It has the potential to entertain you, but the repulsive appearance does not help it at all.

    With backtracking done the way it should be done, properly balanced difficulty level and great level design Axiom Verge is the best love letter to Samus in years. [07/2015, p.70]

    Axiom Verge is an action- and exploration sidescroller that pays homage to the classic 2D Metroid-games. Being a one-man project, the scope and presentation is very impressive. Only a few issues with the pacing and mechanics keep Axiom Verge away from the very top scores.
