    Despite its flaws, Sundered: Eldritch Edition contains enough magic to keep developer Thunder Lotus Games intact as an interesting and viable studio. There is a lot to be found here that would usually keep me enticed if it wasn’t following last year’s more entertaining alternatives. If you are beginning to get Metroidvania-numbness, then it may be best keeping this game on your to-do list. But don’t sit on it for too long, because there are plenty of moments here that are well worth experiencing.

    This gameplay loop really works for me, and while I sometimes wish I wasn’t doing so much backtracking, it’s not a big enough deal that I’m dissuaded from playing. If you, too, like this kind of loop, I think you’ll get a kick out of Sundered.

    On an eShop that seems to become more rife with Metroidvanias by the day, Sundered seems to fall somewhere in the middle to front of the pack. Though the repetitiveness means it doesn’t hit the same kind of highs that Dead Cells or Hollow Knight reach, Sundered still manages to offer a delightfully creepy, challenging, and content-rich experience that genre fans are sure to enjoy. If you’re not a fan of procedural generation, stay well away from this one; otherwise, we’d encourage you to give it a shot.

    Sundered is a solid metroidvania with gorgeous visuals and a strong progression system. Unfortunately, the roguelike design and ongoing waves of enemies let it down somewhat.

    The art direction draws you in then the procedurally generated world and button-mashing combat disappoints you.

    This game may feel glacial at first for a game of it's type, but as you quickly accrue powers, and choose whether or not to corrupt them toThis game may feel glacial at first for a game of it's type, but as you quickly accrue powers, and choose whether or not to corrupt them to far better versions it quickly becomes a very rhythmic action game where you're ripping out your huge damage combos and skills between an elegant dance of crowd control and laser evasion.

    The setting and story aren't as intensively thrust upon you as much as other games, but it is still a wonder to osmose absolutely beautifully animated.

    My only complaint may be that some of the enemy types become kind of samey, but even then you will hit plateaus of difficulty increases where something old comes back five times more nasty and with new tricks that keep you on your toes.

    All-in-all. Even as a polarizing metroidvania experience I strongly recommend checking it out on a rainy day. You may pleasantly surprised and then some.    … Full Review »

    Gioco sorprendente e molto sottovalutato dalla critica. Straconsigliato se avete amato Dead Cells ed Hollow Knight
