    Ariana sets out to restore lost magic by diving into enchanted books and repairing the worlds inside them. Along the way, you build up a versatile set of spells and take on a mix of platforming challenges and strategic battles. It’s a straightforward but enjoyable adventure that balances style, action, and steady progression.

    In a way, there’s a charm that comes from starting a Metroidvania like Ariana and the Elder Codex, knowing it’s a fine, solid experience. It’s not earth shattering. It doesn’t redefine the genre. You’ll clearly see what you need to do and know what’s coming. Still, it’s entertaining for what it is and while it lasts, and that’s okay.

    Ariana and the Elder Codex doesn’t reinvent the metroidvania playbook, but its clever spell combos and flexible builds make it easy to get hooked. It can stumble with platforming and performance, yet the satisfying combat, steady sense of progression, and forty-dollar MSRP make this a welcome page turner.
