Если бы сразу и вторую часть бы ремастнули то мож в сумме было бы очень хорошее издание ! Огромное спасибо шикарной русской озвучке !… Expand

    Los programadores de Medievil han conseguido una proeza y es que este remake salvo por el lavado de cara gráfico es peor que el original. Lamentable.

    Bunch of idiot sony fans give this 10 and another bunch of idiot microsoft fans give it zero! Why are you this much idiot?? What goes to your pocket if it has high user score or low?? Being a fan is not a problem but plz see the truth!

    I don't get all the critic hate for this game. My only gripe for this game is the camera can work against you a lot of the time. Other than that it's basically a pretty version of the game I remember. I personally loved it. Maybe they will patch in a rework for the camera at some point.

    Man, this is woeful, absolutely woeful. Where to even start?

    The graphics are terrible, the gameplay is as clunky if not worse than the PS1 version, the sounds is tinny, the loading times are like going back in time.

    Seriously, avoid this travesty. I stupidly bought it even after playing the demo, I thought surely the full game would be better. I was wrong. This will be on PS plus within months, as nobody in their right mind will buy it if they read reviews, me being a moron had it preordered.

    Worst game I've played in years, genuinely.    … Expand

    A big disappontment. The game has only graphics, lost the fun, and the gameplay hasn't developed properly. The game was taken by the hype, like most Sony games.

    A PS1 game that looked good but did not fix the old quirks. At least the camera work is far better. But the gameplay is just boring.

    MediEvil took me around 13 hours to complete and if youre not used to this old school style of gameplay, is a tough 13 hours to get through…
    Here youll be playing as Sir Daniel Fortesque as he sets out to stop the evil zarok raising the dead and tainting the souls. This is a hack and slash action adventure game where each level youll be slaying enemies, discovering secrets, and taking down bosses on your journey to take down zarok and prove yourself in the hall of heroes… each level has a percentage of souls needed to fill a chalice, this gives you the urge to ctually want to engage in combat despite how frustrating it proves to be… as collecting this chalice and then making it to the end of the level rewards you with the possibility of a new weapon, each increasingly becoming more powerful and useful… its this exploration and mystery that keep medieval from becoming too much.. every level here feels fresh and verried from start to finish.. no two levels feels the same, many will even surprise you and all this is necessary because of the old school nature of medievil, beause though the graphics have been brought up to date, the gameplay has not… every level plays by perma death rules, meaning there are no save or checkpoints.. if you die in a level no matter how far you get, you have to start the level from the very beginning with what you enter this level with.. which can prove challenging as you aren’t replenished health at the beginning of these levels.. though there is a way to cheese this by returning to dans crypt over and over before a new level.. I feel as though the player shouldn’t have to do this though.. filling my lives before a level should just be standard… to add to the difficulty, though the platforming feels a bit more modern.. it still has that old school cheap I have no control feel, leading to many cheap deths and game overs as falling doesn’t just take say 50 to 100 damage, it takes an entire life from you… which of course leads to many frustrating moments and a few frustrating levels where the platforming is just awful and nothing is below to catch you… on top of all of this, there is little to no indication of you taking damage, no sense of enemy range… taking the hack and slash genre a little too literall.. youll find yourself button mashing your way through levels if you don’t care to stick to range attacks..needless to say there will be a handful of levels youll be replaying.. when you can get past all of this frustration though, medievil proves to be a great and satisfying adventure, one that encourages exploration, combat and challenge, Altering the mechanics and systems to todays standards could make this an even more enjoyable experience, but sometimes we all need a little old school frustration

    Buen Remake. La jugabilidad no es la mejor ya que ha envejecido un poco mal, pero es que es la que es igual que la del Crash que sin embargo pues ha envejecido bien. Pero graficamente es muy bueno verlo limpio de poligonos y con el doblaje original que es un puntazo... Remake como he dicho bien. Bueno.

    Great revision of an already great game. The visuals and audio were spot on. Dan felt great to control, and the combat felt much more fluid than in the original, it felt like you were actually hitting an enemy.

Game play takes some adapting as it is a bit quirky, but once you get used to it, it doesn't feel so bad. Still has some bugs like in the previous generation.

The frame rate can feel horrible at times, the camera is clunky, there are so few checkpoints when needed (such as before a difficult boss fight) which leads to a lot of frustrating replaying and backtracking. The game just feels OLD still, like a visually upgraded PS1 game, with no issues fixed. I feel like they could’ve done a lot more to modernize this game. LIKE PUTTING IN MORE CHECKPOINTS!! Sometimes you’ll need a shield, such as this one level where you must search these underground corridors for items, and you’ll find nothing. It can also be difficult, and not a fair kind of difficult. The game can be awesome at times, the characters are really unique, the design of the world is incredible, but still. Sometimes the visuals are razor sharp and quick, but other times, the textures and frame rate are abysmal. For $30 I’d say it’s a good pickup for collectors, but if you don’t have any nostalgia for this series, I’d say skip it. Or at least prepare yourself for some frustration instead. Get Crash Team Racing instead, it’s a much better remake than this.… 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".

    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]
