    Jedna z lepszych gier platformowych jakie widziałem w życiu. Motyw jak i stylistyka gry ma w sobie taką głębie, że wyśmienicie się przechodzi między poziomami tego świata. Uwielbiam w grach to, że dają wrażenie tajemniczości, przez co gracz może sobie dopowiedzieć resztę co daje niesamowite pole dla wyobraźni.

    As always, ignore the critics, this is an excellent remake. Charming music and visuals. It’s hard, but fair. Getting all collectibles isn’t tedious in the slightest, which is a big plus in my book.

El problema que tiene este remake para mi es que es excesivamente difícil. Tienes una pociones que actúan como depósitos de vida. Es decir, que si te mueres, se usa la poción de vida para restaurar la vida al completo. ¿Cual es el problema? Que los enemigos son muy difíciles de derrotar (hablo de los enemigos normales) y claro, mantener las distancias sería lo ideal, pero tienes una espada con poca fuerza y un arco con pocas flechas y poco potente. Entonces, cuando te enfrentas cara a cara a otro enemigo normal, a veces supone perder casi la mitad de la vida si eres descuidado con las distancias y el tiempo de reacción. Tu mejor baza entonces es huir de los enemigos en vez de enfrentarte a ellos. Lo peor de todo es que las pociones de vida escasean por todo el juego. Y no solo eso. Si mueres, no reapareces en un «checkpoint». Con lo cual, ya desde el primer momento estás jugando en modo «Muy difícil», porque si tomas malas decisiones y pierdes en un nivel, vuelves hasta el principio del nivel de nuevo, y pierdes todo lo que has coleccionado (llaves, pociones, etc.) A mi esto personalmente me cabrea mucho, porque el original era así también, y en vez de cambiarlo, lo dejaron lo más fiel al original posible. A pesar de esos fallos, hay muchas cosas positivas de este juego. Los diálogos están muy bien (sobretodo si lo juegas en español, las voces imitan el castellano antiguo para darle un toque más medieval), la trama engancha y el villano tiene bastante carisma. Los niveles están muy bien diseñados y lo dicho, es muy fiel al original. Si este remake lo hubieran hecho para mejorar de paso el juego a nivel de jugabilidad, le daría un 6/10 por lo que comenté de las pociones. Pero, como se trata de un remake que quiere mantener el núcleo de la jugabilidad intacto y ser lo más parecido posible al original, en ese caso le tengo que dar un 10/10 porque lo han clavado. Y el rendimiento a nivel gráfico del juego en PS4 es bueno. Podría ser mejor, pero no es malo.… Expand

    На этот раз я больше согласен с оценкой игроков, чем критиков. Как вообще можно было оценить игру так низко? Это отличный платформер, который хорошо играется и по сей день. Сначала он мне не сразу зашел, но после уровня с фермой я в эту игру просто влюбился. Рекомендую!    [RU]

    Este remake fue algo bastante raro. Es de gran calidad, como ya lo era el original... pero parece un juego de esa generación con los gráficos de esta. Es decir, no se ha adaptado a los nuevos tiempos en ciertos aspectos que se deberían haber pulido. También, el rendimiento en PS4 era bastante malo, joder.

    I was scared to try this one because of the critics. I am not disappointed and I can assure you that the critics are really not accurate, this is a great remake and I'm a picky gamer. Sure there were a few flaws (bad camera, lack of checkpoints and health could've been restored between each levels) but besides these minor issues, I had a blast and the platinum is pretty easy and fun to do.I was scared to try this one because of the critics.

    A classic that's back for the clueless generation.

    Super engaging story, fun gameplay to use.

    As always, charismatic characters like only Sony can do. Recommended for all ages (as long as you don't bother with other types of beliefs.)

However, other than the gorgeous graphics there is plenty small quality of life changes and details added in. Not to mention the level design is still fantastic as it was in the original in fact it's improved because it's more clear and detailed. Even with the issues this game does have its a great time to play through it even in modern day. The game also does a great job at incentivizing you to keep collecting everything. You get great awards and prizes for collecting chalices, not to mention the great final reward for completing the end game content (no spoilers). Anyways, I think this game is worthy of a bit more attention and praise than it got. It's a pretty damn good game.… Expand

    I had a lot of goofy fun with this. Near the end I defintely started to lose my patience with the game. But, overall, I had a really lovely time with Medievil. I really hope we get a remake for the sequel or just a straight up 3rd Medievil game. Love the premise and presentation. Want more adventures with Sir Dan tbh

    A gem of a gem with that brilliant soundtrack we all love. I loved MediEvil 1 & 2 back on the PS1 and it was a treat to re-experience the original MediEvil with todays visual glory and smoothed out controls. Other Ocean Emeryville did a terrific job with the music and visuals and kept the atmosphere and humour of the original game. I really hope we'll see MediEvil 2.

    One of the flaws they fixed in the PS1 version was when there was a chest with a weapon in it and you switched to the weapon in the chest, it automatically took the place of the weapon in it. our hand, there is no longer this problem on PS4, another thing that is great being able to switch between 2 weapons of our choice just by pressing triangle.

    The downside of the game is lost souls. SPOILER, we unlock the lost souls in the Advent last table and to have them all, you have to redo all the tables a 2nd time and in a specific order, to unlock the MediEvil PS1 version. Ok great, but the game is in English too bad.

    MediEvil PS1 is a game from my childhood that I like to redo on occasion for Halloween, for nostalgia or just for fun, but with this version I'm not sure if one day I'm going to redo the PS1 version.    … Expand

    One of the best remakes I’ve ever played, the design alone is quite impressive. I loved every level of the game even the difficult elements in later levels. Sometimes can get frustrating but generally if you think about your approach to the challenge, it ends up being rewarding. Hope they remake MediEvil 2 at some point too

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.

    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!

    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".

    If you disregard the nostalgia factor, the game is anything but extraordinary. It won’t win over new, younger players... but on the other hand they are not the target audience. [13/2019, p.78]
