    A beautiful action-platformer. It’s short and sweet but the game feels bigger than it actually is. [Aug 2016]

    The Castlevania series is something of a comfort food for me, and any game that can properly emulate what it does gets my recommendation. Predictable as it may be, Reverie is the tight, efficient, and beautiful work from someone who knows the subgenre well. I may even go check out the other three now.

    Momodora: Revere Under Moonlight is a fantastic game, wonderfully animated, rich with accurate and sharp controls, and a worthy successor to the heyday of platformer gaming.

    Momodora is a good metroidvania. It doesn't really offer something new, but for those who can't get enough of this genre, it's a solid choice.

    Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight is a good action platform game with metroidvania classics' essence. Its art style is amazing.

    Not terrible. But way overrated. The reality is it's like 4 hours long. I cleared normal in 3.5h. Hard was faster. Impossible wasn't worth theNot terrible. But way overrated. The reality is it's like 4 hours long. I cleared normal in 3.5h. Hard was faster. Impossible wasn't worth the effort.

    It's ok, but there's nothing really exceptional about it.

    Lack of shortcuts built into the maps, the fast travel is an unlock that might take a long time to find, the map doesn't even color code different area names, area names don't even show up if you exit and re-enter in case you missed the text the first time, you can never change the angle of your leaf, in fact you never get new leaf moves period, arrows are op, all the bosses fight basically the same except for the one with two bosses which wasn't even seriously 2v1 since the arrow guy sucks, the story sucks because you never see her villiage or learn anything personal about her really, and most of the diffiulty comes from placing spikes in stupid spots and you getting lost because the map sucks and you didn't happen to stumble on the cat orb early.    … Full Review »

    4 hours of fun. Great music, great visuals, but too short and has difficulty balance issues.

    In hard difficulty, after 30 minutes of dying in tutorial section(she dies quickly), i switched to normal difficulty and finished it that way(dark souls vet here).
    It was even hard that way, but some bosses died very easily.

    I enjoyed my time(thanks to gamepass), and recommend it to metroidvania fans.    … Full Review »

Unless you're a speed runner or the kind of person who gets enjoyment from doing the same thing over and over, you probably won't get more than 4 or 5 hours out of it, but for my money, it was worth the investment.… Full Review »
