    While Strider could have benefited from a more concise overworld design, its lengthiness does give the game a “slow burn” appeal, something you don’t usually associate with Metroidvania-style games, let alone 2D side scrollers.

    Strider is basic fare to snack on between larger courses in the release schedule. Double Helix has easily attained its unambitious goals.

    Not the best in the genre, but a nice game that captures the essence of the original and will appeal to fans.
