    Amazing 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 moreAmazing 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.

    Afterimage is a gorgeous looking Metroidvania that wraps itself around its players with an enveloping plot, charismatic characters, and engaging combat system. While some of the exploration tasks can feel out of place at times and the plot takes a while to fully settle in, Afterimage is without a doubt a very welcome addition to the Nintendo Switch rich catalogue of Metroidvania games, and one that can stand proudly next to its peers.

    Afterimage is a pretty good metroidvania. If you are able to resist its high difficulty peaks, you will find a game with a very nice art style and fun gameplay. However, due to some technical issues, we think there are better platforms to enjoy the game on other than Nintendo Switch.

    Afterimage is a Metroidvania with attractive 2D visuals and crisp combat, and it really wants to make sure you’ve earned any victories you get. The action is tricky, especially with the numerous bosses that are smarter than what you may be used to. But if you’re up to the challenge, you’ll find the game’s rewards.
