    Platforming is tight and varied, and the plot matches the lighthearted tone of the rest of the game. Shantae and the Pirate's Curse is a spirited little game, and by far the best 2D platformer on the PlayStation 4 to date.

Con un sentido del humor y una personalidad propias en una IP que parece haber encontrado un lugar en el corazón de los aficionados a los plataformas retro. Si la cuarta entrega es la mitad de buena que esta, desde luego pueden contar conmigo.… Full Review »
