    Completed this game this past weekend! I love the exploration aspect of the game, the platforming elements, the bosses, the hidden areas, the different items, the level up system, etc. It took me a good 15 hours to complete and I had to follow a walkthrough after a while as the map is a mess and you have no idea where you are supposed to go next most of the time.

I liked most of the game, but I hated the backtracking and the non-linear story. I feel the graphics are good, but not great. There is some sort of transportation system on the switch version, but it is not really good. It deserves a 7.5 out of 10 in my book (easily an 8 with a few touch ups).… Expand

    Elliot Quest is the spiritual successor to Zelda 2. And while Zelda 2 isn't the most loved zelda game out there, there is no doubt in my mind that Elliot Quest captures all the best moments and parts from that game and expands on them. Items, dungeons, bosses, secrets, everything you would expect and more. A fantastic recreation, and would recommend to any zelda fan.

    Elliot Quest looks like a lost side-scrolling game from the NES area. Very nostalgia-driven, it takes form as a hardcore side-scrolling action game, which may be too for some tastes. Those up to the challenge, though, will be rewarded with a surprisingly deep game.

    Elliot Quest takes heavy inspiration from the first three Zelda games in general and from Zelda II: Adventure of Link in particular, while improving on some of the more tedious aspects of it. However, it does not quite go all the way to leaving behind or improving the elements that haven't aged well at all in Nintendo's classic, making for an experience that at times can be a bit more confusing than it really needs to be. The narrative, in its execution and presentation, passes almost completely into the background like it was totally absent, which further cements the identity of Elliot Quest: a game that is deeply seated in the era that inspired its creation. There will, therefore, be two categories of players: those who find it hard to enjoy for lack of some of the more modern comforts that gaming has brought along over the years, and those that love it all the more for it because they appreciate being given free reign instead of being held by the hand all along. What remains after taking these things into account is still a thoroughly, if complicated, more Metroidvania-oriented side-scrolling adventure RPG that should definitely appeal to fans of 8-bit flavoured games of that genre.

    Elliot Quest is fun with beautifully designed dungeons, but the finer details and overall story fall short of what it needs make it a truly great game.
