    This is one of the those rare times when a game was just made right, and while you have every right to love it or hate it, it’d have nothing to do with how it was made. This is an 80’s videogame power-ballad that hits all the right notes.

    Strider is undoubtedly fun but it’s really depressingly short.

    Strider is back and he is wearing an interesting shawl. Thankfully there is more to this game. It is not just a beat 'em up, but it also gives the gamer the chance to variate smooth quickness with puzzle elements to make progress in the game.

    Strider is a fun action platformer that's a decent homage to the original games from the eighties and nineties. The game could use a creative impulse when it comes to enemies and environments, but you won't want to let it go because of the variety in powers and tight action.
