    With the extensive map sizes, fast action pace, and high difficulty, Sundered is sure to keep you exploring and fighting for your survival for 10+ hours per play through. It is a satisfying Metroidvania title to close out a year of stellar offerings within the genre.

    Sundered comes to Switch and Xbox One with the Eldritch Edition, a revision of the game that doesn’t include lots of changes but it does some fine additions like local co-op. If you liked Sundered back in 2017, this is a good excuse to come back to it in a brand new platform.

    The industry may be drowning in Metroidvanias, but Sundered does enough to stand out from the crowd with flair.

    Switch's catalogue of top-tier Metroidvania titles just added yet another to its repertoire. Insanely addictive and a hell of a great time. The combat is fast, fluid and frantic, often requiring the better part of valour to overcome and survive the horrors. The local multiplayer and the multiple endings give it considerable replayability, too. Sundered: Eldritch Edition is one of the very best.

    Sundered: Eldritch Edition is an interesting metroidvania, although its procedural characteristic does not prevent its scenarios from being very simple. However, it is a very entertaining title, with a good visual section, many secrets and magnificent final bosses, that will delight any player looking for a challenge.

    A solid game, with a great art direction, but technically it's not what we expected.

    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
