    This games art is amazing to look at, hand drawn aesthetics look awesome.

When I read that the levels where going to be procedurally created I was definitely skeptical but honestly it adds more of a challenge. The waves of baddies that storm onto to screen and attack you can get intense, but it keeps the platforming interesting. I have only played a few hours and in those hours I was put my gaming skills to the test, I am playing on normal and it is pretty brutal. The only way to upgrade your skills via skill tree is to collect orbs from dead baddies and once you die you can spend those orbs to upgrade your skills. So in a way you get rewarded for dieing because you become stronger. Only thing missing is a heavy metal sound track. All in all pretty fun game, you should check it out. Im playing on PC runs really smooth.… Expand

    True masterpiece, I’m in love. One of the best games I played in quite a while. And definitely the best metridvania I have played.
    Its gorgeous, fluid and enchanting.
    Once you cross the first hour, you are hocked for at least one playthrough. Fun combat, level generation and treasure hunting keeps it always fresh. Ahh and the cannon... omg.. best BFG ever. Thank you Thunderlotus. One    True masterpiece, I’m in love. One of the best games I played in quite a while. And definitely the best metridvania I have played.

    One minus is the long loading, but that’s nothing.

    Sundered has an amazing atmosphere and addictive gameplay, I love the story being told in little pieces by the upgrades and the unreliable narrator.

    Super fun game. Intense and fun action, smooth gameplay, perfect challenge level, great skills and mechanics progression, satisfying passive tree, interesting choices with a non-intrusive splash of story. No need for google searches, just keep playing until you find where to go.

    I played this game start to finish in coop and it's fantastic. Only downside is a bug we had right at the end: we killed the final boss, it saved (so you can reload back at the sanctuary with xp earned from the fight) and unlocked the achievement, but didn't show the final cutscene. Apparently this is a bug exclusive to coop. Easily fixed by watching a youtube video, but still deductingI played this game start to finish in coop and it's fantastic.

    Much better value than Metroid Dread, as Dread was $80CDN and took me 6.5 hours to complete, this is typically $23CDN but was on sale for $6CDN and took 9 hours. But also a better Metroid game than Dread. So many indie metroidvanias make the real deal look like crap.    … Expand

    Ten enjoyable hours, great visuals, excellent combat system, too much repetitiveness. Sundered is no Ori and the Blind Forest, but metroidvania fans should enjoy it. [10/2017, p.70]

    Sundered is a great metroid-vania. It doesn´t innovate a classic gameplay formula, but with its visual, atmosphere and technical quality, it can catch and hold you. [Issue#277]

    Sundered is another example of a good concept that was poorly realized. During the first five minutes the game is nice, but after that you have to force yourself to play it.
