    Demon Tides is an amazing, incredibly expressive 3D platformer that might just be one of the best in its genre. It can be janky and imperfect, but it's so fun to move around in that a feeling of joy will shine through at all times. It's hard not to have a smile on your face while playing Demon Tides, whether you're exploring, gliding through the air, or tearing your hair out to a Mr. Mint Trial.

    Demon Tides rocks, combining chill and unique expressive platforming mechanics with an absolutely magnetic cast of characters, some great art, and an overall sense of style all its own.

    Demon Tides is a true love letter to the genre, joining the ranks with its own distinctive visual style. It’s fun, full of challenges, and mind-boggingly chaotic. Sure, the chat is a little questionable at times, but everything else you’d want from a 3D platformer is here. Ambitious and delightful.

    Although it features camera issues and some strange artistic choices, Demon Tides is a good example of a sequel that refines the potential of a previous entry while adding even more personality on top. The open world enhances the overall experience, there are plenty of abilities to unlock, and numerous islands to explore. All of this is paired with gameplay that isn’t afraid to challenge the player’s skills, rewarding those who take risks with daring jumps and make the most of the mechanics the game has to offer.

    Old-timey fun, Demon Tides fills a long-awaited spot: an adventure/platforming game who understand its genre and zeitgeist. An hidden gem.

    What makes this game special is personality and freedom. It trusts you to push its systems. It rewards curiosity. It lets you look at a distant structure and decide how you want to approach it, not how the designer expected you to.

    Demon Tides is packed with strong ideas, but the execution doesn’t always stick the landing. Movement and level design entertain, though they occasionally lack finesse and inspiration. A solid, accessible platformer with clever touches, yet not without its frustrations.
