Nov 11, 2025Possessor(s) is a stylish Metroidvania with an intriguing world, strong atmosphere, and a satisfying mix of action and exploration. The dynamic between Luca and Rhem gives it a unique buddy-cop vibe, while the challenging combat and upgrades keep things engaging. Despite a few frustrating moments of searching, this is an adventure genre fans shouldn’t miss.

Nov 11, 2025Possessor(s) is one of the most unconventional Metroidvanias that I've played thanks to its visceral dystopian world and focus on equipment-based combat that rewards experimentation, practice, and patience much more than brute force. Now, that's clever and quite cool indeed.

Nov 11, 2025Possessor(s) brings a lot of success to the table: lots of boss fights, chunky and engaging combat, and a robust world to explore. Combine that with a strong narrative, and you have a recipe for success. The whip needs some optimization, and progressing the story can easily stagnate once the map opens up. Possessor(s) may not be able to contend with the titans of the genre, but it doesn't need to. It still provides a good experience for anyone interested in Metroidvanias.
