    Game looks great... people complaining that is hard clearly didn’t play the first one or just like there hand held while playing a game. But still very fun game brings back lots of fun old memories.

    Excellent remake. Very faithful to the 1998 PS1 game, with added features like the Gallowmere Encyclopedia (which lists every ally, ennemy, and boss encountered) and tutorial book content is now voiced.
    Such a joy playing this classic again 21 years after its original release!

    La banda sonora ahora si que es orquestada realmente no como en ps1, muy fiel a la original y épica cuando tiene que serlo... como en ps1.
    Y es aquí donde la estupidez humana se abre camino. El juego fue pensado originalmente para ser un calco del original. En ningún momento propusieron crear un dark souls o un uncharted o un breath of the wild de este juego. La idea original era calcar los diseños de ps1 y cuidarlo en ese aspecto.(En españa conserva parte de su doblaje original)

    Un juego de 2 años de desarrollo. Apelando a la nostalgia y una época pasada que JAMÁS volverá con juegos así, un juego cortito para jugar por la noche con un amigo, completarlo al 100% y sacar el platino.
    Todo por 25/30 euros de salida(bajará de precio)

    A wonderful game with its charm left intact, with gameplay accurate to the pre-Ocarina of Time original, warts and all.
    Still has the same voice acting, which adds to the charm.
    Only bad part is the camera, it's too close to Dan and doesn't point down far enough. There are moments where it zooms out to give you more control, and it should really have something similar to that at all    A wonderful game with its charm left intact, with gameplay accurate to the pre-Ocarina of Time original, warts and all.

    Only bad part is the camera, it's too close to Dan and doesn't point down far enough.
    There are moments where it zooms out to give you more control, and it should really have something similar to that at all times.

    The gameplay is a little clunky, but the animations and charm makes that feel welcome.
    It still has some of the difficulty quirks which they easily could have removed, such as not healing between missions and deaths resulting in the entire mission restarting.
    Could be a little difficult to newcomers because of this.
    It makes me way more careful though, which I like.

    The level design is fun and creative, and those saying it isn't innovative need reminding that this game out before Ocarina of Time, which standardised some controls, such as lock on.

    The new feature, over the shoulder God of War cam, is completely useless and probably there to please higher ups and people who can't control 3D action platformer games.

    Highly recommended, out of all recent remakes I have the highest hopes that Medievil is continued    … Expand

    A classic remade. The game was still just as much fun as it was back then. While I found some of the new changes butchering the art direction of the original (you probably won't even notice these unless you remember the original very well), it could be either good or a bad thing.

Even by today's standards the game holds up extremely well, and some of the new additions are very good (there are changes to some boss mechanics). 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

    Este es el juego que ha conseguido que hace algo más de un año no vendiera la basura que es PS4.

    Digan lo que digan, es un juegazo de los de verdad, gráficamente es brutal y no se porque se critica la jugabilidad tiene toda la esencia de MediEvil en PSX, incluso se pueden poner los controles clasicos. El manejo de la camara es MediEvil al 100%

    PD: la BSO me la pone durísima.

    Es increíble que este juego supere al original... Ya que mantiene la sensación oldschool, pero adaptándola a los tiempo que corren.
    Añade nuevas mecánicas y cambios en los enemigos que lo hacen simplemente perfecto. Si nunca jugaste al original ésta es la gran oportunidad que tienes de experimentarlo por primera vez.

    Nostalgia pura, al fin poder re jugar esta maravilla y con mejores gráficos, yo le habría mejorado un pelín el sistema de la cámara pero en fin se agradece que no lo hayan cambiado mucho por que el original ya de por si era una belleza.

    Love the music and voice acting. Glad they kept all the level designs and combat the same. New coat of paint at a superb price. It's a nice breath of fresh air from all the cancer coming out of the AAA market lately. The only thing I can see needing improvement is the camera work.

    Um jogo de PS1 com gráficos modernos. Ou seja, perfeito. Quando os jogos modernos falham é necessário resgatar os clássicos do passado. Por isso que a maioria dos jogos indie são bem mais divertidos que a maioria dos jogos modernos.

Que recuerdos. Pero bueno, cada uno tiene su gusto ) El caso es que no es un juego para todos los públicos, los que hemos disfrutado del juego    Magnífico. Sencillamente magnífico.

Os lo aconsejo a todos los Sonyer de psx. A los demás... Solo si os gustan los hack and slash bastante facilitos jajaja Solo decir que disfrutéis de vuestros juegos...

    A strikingly good remaster of a PS1 classic and just in time for Halloween. Surprised by the contrast in critic/ user reviews, it stays faithful to the source material and even adds to it. I'm simply loving this remaster thus far and fingers crossed for a new Medievil game in the future.

    The game is perfect, it really did a very good job in the remake. I dont understand why the critics think differently, Spyro and Crash remakes received a high score despite being similar to their originals. But for some reason the MediEvil, did not. Very weird.

    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]
