    Absolutamente incrivel a ignorancia de alguns criticos profissionais que nem devia ser nascidos quando saiu o original que demonstram uma ignorancia absurda sobre a qualidade e carinho depositado neste remake. Absolutamente obrigatorio e nao liguem a ignorantes que nada percebem disto.

I have been gaming since 1970 and while I love the advancements I still love the old school. This game nails the best of both worlds. It was a masterpiece when it came out and this version only confirms that. Great job on the upgrade of an an amazing game. Expand

    Um dos melhores remakes do ps4, inclusive superior à trilogia crash. O jogo tem uma estética muito atrativa, além de possuir uma dificuldade um tanto elevada durante a primeira gameplay (e antes de conseguir as armas mais poderosas, o que se faz coletando os cálices de cada nível). Realmente trata-se de um jogo casual muito divertido.

    من الآخر:

    1- اللعبة فيها تحسينات ضخمة وكبيرة مقارنة بالنسخة الأصلية بدون أي إضافات أو تغييرات تذكر على محتواها باستثناء سر واحد انضاف بعد إنهاء اللعبة.
    2- طريقة اللعب سلسلة وفيها تنوع بالأسلحة.
    3- نظام اللعبة إنها تصير نوعا ما صعبة مع التقدم في المراحل وتقدر تقول إن هذا نظام الألعاب القديمة بشكل عام.
    4- الموسيقى ممتعة وهادية وتعيش اللاعب جو الهالووين والرعب.

    Should have done this a long time ago, but oh well. A good way to end off the year.

    MediEvil. What a special game, and a curious decade for it to be around. A decade in which gaming has taken a sharp turn into "cinematic" approaches for better or worse, often times forgetting that games are also supposed to be fun, weird, and interesting. A decade when the best and the worst of modern gaming has graced our consoles and PCs. A decade or many, MANY reboots, remakes, and re-releases. I'll be fair, MediEvil for the PS4 is pretty much a ground up remake, but it's retained many of the charms its original counterpart had... more or less.

    Gameplay is loosened up and fined tuned to be a bit more frantic, giving enemies with familliar patterns new tricks along with the old, and Dan himself a better combat personality that more suites his character (such as swinging a sword wildly like he has no idea what he's doing if you continuously hammer the attack button). Platforming is made MUCH easier so insta-death pitfalls aren't so frequent, and weapons themselves have been tweaked to have more pronounced strengths and weaknesses. A welcome change is the inclusion of weapon switching the Medievil 2 introduced, adding alot more playtime and decreasing menu time, and fixing a certain irritation that the original PS1 games had for a very specific weapons. The camera is alright. A bit better from the original.

    Visuals are... jaw dropping (lol). While it lost a little bit of its angular, Tim Burton-esque flair that the first game touted with pride, locations in the remake are absolutely gorgeous and give the game its own distinct dark fantasy vibe. Forests are lush, towns are hauntingly amiss and derelict, graveyards stink with necromancy and rot... the whole game just looks exactly like it absolutely should. Dan himself looks delightfully goofy, Zarok looks and behaves menacing, and the Gargoyles are out and out perfect in their new designs with their bright eyes and sarcastic smirks.

    Audio is perfect. The original composers return to deliver the game's score with the best way possible, while also re-introducing some previous songs for specific situations for a spice of variety. Actions sound like they have punch and weight to them. Voice acting is lifted directly from the original game and given an HD upgrade (with some surprise exceptions). Also, the narrator is a joy, and delightfully sarcastic in all the right places.

    It has a little bit of endgame content, which can be hit or miss depending on the player, but the last secret the game has after fully completing a certain side-quest is one hell of a treat for longtime fans.

    The downside is that, aside from the new side-quest and it's reward, and a few new tricks enemies have and certain upgrades to the game overall, there aren't many other changes. No previously deleted levels remade to be played for the curious as side-stages or DLC. No new enemies or bosses to fight. No secrets that aren't already available in the original game. You're more or less getting the Spyro treatment here, except it's just one game rather than three. Also, the camera, while improved, has its issues...

    All in all, a very fun remake, and one i'm glad I picked up when I did. I'm proud to have this game in my collection, and hope to play it for years to come just like I have the previous games. Here's hoping for a MediEvil 2 remake, or perhaps... MediEvil 3?

However that is only a minor nitpick in that regard as it otherwise improves visually, performance wise and in controls. The game it self has some issues the combat defiantly feels like a ps1 game in the sense that they weren't fully sure how 3d games worked. So there is some jank to it. And while early on I wasn't to impressed by the end I fell in love with the games writing humor and pretty much every other aspect of it. And the completion bonus you can get later in the game which is unlocking the original game on the ps1. is one of the best I've seen in games and it gives me a whole lot more appreciation for the remake after being able to go back and directly compare it to the original. It's not a perfect game but it's defiantly an interesting game and you get a good amount of content for what's it's worth. And if you've played the original there's no reason to not try it out.

    This is a really similar experience to the PSX game. Which is cool in some ways, but lackluster overall for a remake. After so many years, I think we should expect some issues to be fixed, such as the camera ones. Enjoyed it because it's Medievil, but it doesn't offer a lot more than the original version.

    A wonderfully done remake with some small gameplay improvements done here and there (mostly pertaining to the weapons and platforming, while the camerawork suffers slightly) to bring a Tim Burton-esque PS1 adventure game to modern consoles. Absolutely worth an investment and a playthrough, even a year after release. 9/10

    BACK FROM THE DEAD... for the 4th time, but this time in a big way!.
    fans wanted a sequel to Medievil II or a "proper" remake for years, well after 14 years they finally got their wish!.

    first "Crash" then "Spyro" and now "Medievil" all PS1 Classics that finally got revived with amazing well-deserved remakes. i grow-up with the original PlayStation and i loved Medievil and it's sequel, two excellent hack n' slash platformers that was clearly inspired by tim burton art style with the gothic vibe and dark tone with some comedy, the music itself can be compared to tim burton's collaborator danny elfman as well.

    it's a shame this franchise died too early, the decent PS2 title "Ghosthunter" from 2003 is somewhat of an unofficial spin-off, a 2005 lackluster remake for the PSP and the main protagonist sir daniel fortesque had a guest appearances in few other games.

    the team at "Other Ocean Emeryville" studios did an amazing job with this title, despite being developed by a different studio, they handled this remake much better then what original studio did with the 2005 PSP remake.

    from the PS4 game alone it took me few minutes to get used to the new control scheme, different narrator, and slightly different musical score, but i'm amazed they kept most of the original recording from 1998 in the remake with better audio, excellent graphics, giving this series a proper HD look, and you can tell the team had a lot of passion, love and respect to the franchise, changing very little of the level design (mostly adding more then the original game), the music is great!, updating the original tracks with a new code of paint. being creepy, atmospheric, haunting and even scary sometimes, but what made this game so special they kept the darker tone from the original game. they also add the behind the shoulder camera which i didn't used much other the close combat, it's nice addition but unnecessary. the critics and user score is surprisingly divisive, if you're a fan of this franchise or an old-school gamer or just someone who wants some hack 'n slash fun, buy it! you will not regret it. this is probably on my top 10 best PS4 games ever!!! i will forever love the original classic, but this is an excellent remake if not one of best i have ever played.

    Thanks to this pandemic i took the chance to play well this classic for the first time on the playstation. Found no faults, graphics great - same for the game play...The things that disappointed me is the motion blur (no patch for this never came) as i would only spend no more than 45min / an hour max playing it and no checkpoint save which is very very frustrating especially in certain levels.

    This remake of the 1998 classic is faithful to a fault. Other than the gorgeous new graphics, the game is basically the same. That translates to the controls feeling kind of outdated for today’s standards but, as a fan of the classic, this was a nostalgic dream.

    Jogo traz uma nostalgia que poucos remakes foram capazes. Me senti de volta ao PS1, jogando e entendendo aquele mundo extremamente bem desenhado, com uma direção de arte diferente e que é muito bonita. Depois de pegar alguns colecionáveis, é possivel jogar a versão do PS1, daí é possível comparar perfeitamente o carinho e a atenção do remake ao original. Vale muito a pena!

    Medieval is a true definition of classic gaming. Critics doesn't give this game the credit it deserves. If you've played the original and loved it, this will make your heart melt to see you t childhood game and hero in HD. They fixed any issues the original had and added more convenient shortcuts. The story is original and holds well to the franchise. Hoping for a Medieval 2 remake in the future!

The updated visuals may vary in mileage for you depending on how much you thought the original 's added to the feel, but I think it looks magnificent. Also as an added bonus, they added a bit of a tedious side quest at the end where you guide spirits to different areas of the map. Its tedious, it's pretty stupid, but if you do it you're rewarded with unlocking the full original game for your troubles which is wonderful Expand

    The best remake I played so far, it's exactly like the PS1 classic, but with better music and better graphics, with high attention to details, 1:1 gameplay as the original.
    No messed up physics as the Nsane Trilogy and no poor global redesign as Spyro's one, we need more remakes like this one.

    Its medieval looking and sounding better than the original. Camera and combat is still the same. I have beaten the original like 10 times by now over the years. So this is from a medieval fan. Play it if you want a fun

    Nothing better than playing a scary, spooky game just a few days before Halloween, especially if it's from a series that has a special place in our hearts, such as MediEvil. After many years buried, behold, the hero without chin returns from the dead once again.

    MediEvil is a remake of a PS1 game of the same name that was originally released in 1998. But unlike the PS1 version, this remake is developed by Other Ocean Emeryville and not by SCE Cambridge Studio, which later also developed MediEvil 2 and MediEvil: Resurrection. Those who played the original certainly know the plot of the game, but for those who haven't had the opportunity to play the PS1 version, here is a short summary of this adventure's motto.

    The Kingdom of Gallowmere was threatened by Zarok's armada plus with Zombies. Sir Daniel Fortesque led Gallowmere's troops, but unfortunately he didn't go far, he died soon with the first arrow thrown into battle. After 100 years of no news, Zarok reappears and casts a spell on Gallowmere, buried in an eternal night. The spell also wakes up the undead and removes the souls of the living. By mere accident, Zarok eventually resurrects Sir Daniel Fortesque thus giving him a second chance to be the hero of the story.

    I must say that although I have never played the original or its sequel, MediEvil 2, I played MediEvil: Resurrection for PSP and was pleased with the announcement of this remake. There is nothing new about the original here apart from the graphical update and some gameplay changes, such as minor spawns for enemies or the location of the golden chalices.

    Slicing, crushing, impaling, electrocuting, burning and even turning our enemies into chickens are things we will do with this fluid gameplay. But not only, we also have to dodge attacks, as enemies are aggressive and use the shield to protect us from attacks. However, shields have a resistance limit, so some attention is required. There are three types of shields, all with different qualities: bronze, silver and gold. We always have 300 life, and if we reach 0 HP we will consume a health potion to get away with it. If we don't have a life potion, well, it's certain death.

    I caught a bug or glitch that upset me a lot. It seems that Dan doesn't interact well when we want to read a book in some places of certain levels, getting a little stuck, as if there were a small invisible wall preventing the action. Fortunately we can get rid of this if we move our doll. Nothing a little update won't solve.

    Swords, hammers and bows are part of our arsenal. Most weapons can only be unlocked if we have a golden cup to deliver to the Hall of Heroes, but other rewards like gold coins are also part of the fan. To get a gold chalice, we have to fill it with the souls of our enemies until we reach 100%, take the gold chalice and talk to a statue of the heroes. Along the way we also have little puzzles to complete if we want to reach the end of the level. Over time, we can also find lost souls and make their challenges.

    Graphically MediEvil is very nice. It is very gratifying to see the differences of this remake with the 1998 version. Having a PS4 Pro, the game offers 60 stable FPS. I'm not a big fan of fixed cameras (in some places) as it kept me from seeing what was in front of me. And even when it becomes mobile, in a few places it can become annoying. Obviously, bosses are things that Sir Daniel Fortesque will not miss in this MediEvil. Attack weaknesses, dodge blows and shield yourself as in the classic game. But don't worry that bosses in general aren't that hard to beat, even when we initially have a weak arsenal. But that's not why it's fun anymore.

    What about the soundtrack itself? Excellent and harmonious. The orchestra was very well tuned and it is these words that define the sounds of MediEvil. Regarding the voices, both English and Portuguese voices are generally of quality. In short, this MediEvil remake may be more frustrating than difficult, but it's still fun. Sir Daniel Fortesque returned in a big way.

How cool is that? The gameplay is very good, the modernized cartoony/goth-ish graphics are wonderful and the music is perfect. You can tell that they put a lot of efforts to modernize the game and it was sooo worth it.
    If you want to split hairs you could say that some (and only a few) of the secondary character designs could have been a little better, a little "cuter", but it really doesn't matter in the end because it truly is a great game overall. I'm giving it a 10 since I had so much fun revisiting it. Thanks for resurrecting sir Fortesque once again!

If you can appreciate remasters like Crash or Spyro, this should hit home as well. Ignore what the critics have said: I can't help but to wonder if they actually played or liked the original at all. Even if the game is a bit on the short side, the price point is very fair. Every level is very different, and the game always throws some curve-balls with every new level. Support a good product, hopefully it will ignite the flame for the publisher to create a remaster of MediEvil 2 which we absolutely want and need. Expand

    More than 20 years after its released on PlayStation 1, Medievil is back from the dead on PS4. Unfortunately, it looks much more like a remastered version than a full fledged remake. It shines with colorful graphics and spooky atmosphere, but its gameplay remains too rigid, and its mechanics haven't aged well. A title reserved for fans of the license or lovers of Halloween and «The Nightmare Before Christmas».

    It's a short, but very intense adventure, with brief cinematics, compact maps without padding or copy/pasted elements. It brings a lot of variety into the world teeming with bland "sandboxes".
