    GigaSword is a monumental achievement, proving that a one-person studio, with the support of a passionate fanbase, can deliver one of the best metroidvanias of 2025.

    Despite my issues with the adventure, GIGASWORD is still a tremendous Metroidvania experience. It’s frankly hard to believe this was made by a solo developer, it’s that good. Not only is it one of the best examples of the genre I’ve played in recent memory, it’s also a game that’s a glowing love letter to the NES era of gaming. Here’s hoping the issues I mentioned above get fixed so that everyone can fully enjoy this puzzle platformer.

    GIGASWORD attempts to bring the experience of a classic Castlevania to the modern era. Unfortunately, the experience is similar to Simon's Quest: laborious, difficult, and highly punishing. A frustrating experience, made even more difficult by numerous technical problems.
