    I don't care what anyone else thinks; I absolutely love Yars Rising. With its clever Atari game references, awesome characters, fun hacking challenges, catchy music, and the fact that it feels like a Mega Man Metroidvania, it's a game specifically made for folks like me.

    Yars Rising delivers a fine platforming experience mixed with some retro Atari elements.

    Although it doesn't bring many innovative advances to the genre, Yars Rising is a competent metroidvania. The title is permeated by a good narrative, firm and growing mechanics, a beautiful 2.5D visual, a good sound composition between music, voices and effects, as well as a good dose of nostalgia.
