    It took me a couple of hours of play to determine whether or not I was enjoying Sundered. Travelling through nice-looking, but samey environments (sometimes you reach a new area and the only visual difference is that that the screen changes color), being attacked by aggravatingly unrelenting hordes of creatures, frame rate stutters... I wasn't sure I was going to keep playing. Slowly butIt took me a couple of hours of play to determine whether or not I was enjoying Sundered. Travelling through nice-looking, but samey environments (sometimes you reach a new area and the only visual difference is that that the screen changes color), being attacked by aggravatingly unrelenting hordes of creatures, frame rate stutters... I wasn't sure I was going to keep playing. Slowly but surely, however, I got drawn into the risk/reward loop: fighting, dying, getting a bit further on my subsequent run and spending my hard earned points for upgrades on my skill tree grew to be addictive. Plus of course finding new gear to unlock new maps, Metroidvania style.

    I wound up really liking Sundered, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a challenge. You will see your heroine, Eshe, get dragged down by tentacles (the equivalent of the 'YOU DIED' screen in Dark Souls) a lot of times, and you'll probably teach your PS4 a few words it's never heard when you finally succumb to a mob that will not stop coming, but the reward of getting a bit further and a bit stronger will keep those who like a challenge playing.    … Expand

    The combat is fun and challenging (on highest difficulties). 4-player local co-op is great. Exploration is actually smoother than it might seem.

    Not sure what all the negative reviews are about.

    Sundered fuses a lot of ideas from different games and genres, and the result is a very unique experience, especially within the metroidvania genre. Not all these ideas work as well and some of them can be very polarizing, but if the game "clicks", it's one hell of a journey to the heart of darkness.

    Sundered proves that procedural generation and smart, hand-crafted level design are far from mutually exclusive. The combination of the two, and the way the play off each others’ strengths makes this one of the most engrossing Metroidvanias I’ve played in a while. The random approach to regular combat leaves something to be desired, but epic boss fights more than make up for it. If you have even the slightest interest in Metroidvanias, this is a game you need to play.
