    Afterimage is a solid and aesthetically amazing metroidvania. Despite some minor flaws, it's a title absolutely worth playing for all the fans of the genre.

After the latest patch the whole fu##### game is trimmed into the dark souls princip...I played to Level 61 so I am quite a while into the game. And now it was patched... WTF? A save game is not a save game anymore. Each time you die you loose all items you have used in the last turn. So dying 5 times in a boss, means you now loose everything since the last bonfire. Means after dying a couple of times at a boss you will loose every item, like health potions you are using during fights, till you have nothing. What the hell is going on with you guys? why you programm this **** Not every game has to be dark souls - The gaming loop worked fine so what made you switch it? These God damned Souls like Loverboys? You turned a decent Metroidvania game into damn sh## now. The hitboxes are a catastrophy now, with the latest Boss (Valo) I had framerate drops, that I never experienced before, sometime freezes, impossible to play. Shame on you!!! Don't play this unless you are not bored by the freaking same same same soulslike unfair bull**** every damn indie Studio puts out these days. So sad, initially this game was quite a really good one.… Full Review »

    Amazing metroidvania, has some difficultly spikes and some tough platforming but if you played ori and hollow knight this shouldn’t be rightAmazing metroidvania, has some difficultly spikes and some tough platforming but if you played ori and hollow knight this shouldn’t be right in the middle. Yes it does have some enemies one shoting you, which tends to mean you are going off in the wrong direction. The game is very large for a metroidvania and does not hold your hand. The writing and voice acting are jarring and needed more polish, which is why i gave it a 9/10… Full Review »
