    I really enjoyed the combat in the game and that was mainly because it always felt like it packed a punch and it also remained fresh as well. Everything about the presentation side of the game felt unique and this without a doubt made both the visuals and sound design stand out considerably.

There’s a decent amount of variety present in the enemies you have to face and I especially found this to be the case when it came to the fantastic bosses.
    While the story doesn’t have a huge amount of depth, the story that is present has been done well and remained interesting throughout. Each perk and skill you can buy and unlock actually feel like they matter which makes buying them very worthwhile. The loading times vary wildly and sometimes you feel like you’re waiting forever for the game to load back up which can be very frustrating. While I enjoyed the level design for the most part I can’t help thinking that they would’ve been better if they weren’t as simple as they were. Sometimes a game immediately grabs your attention thanks to a fantastic and unique presentation and that’s exactly what Sundered: Eldritch Edition did for me. The presentation side of the game isn’t the only thing that stands out here though and through your adventure you realise quite quickly that this game is very enjoyable to say the least. From the moment you start the game you realise that the combat has been done really well and defeating the varied enemies remains satisfying throughout your time with the game. One of the main reasons why the combat remains satisfying throughout is due to the amount of perks and skills available for you to purchase. Each skill and perk feels important and helps you defeat the fantastically designed bosses quite a lot, which in turn means the gameplay very rarely frustrates you. In fact the only thing that really frustrates you in this game is its long loading times but thankfully these aren’t too much of an issue and can be easily sorted out with a little patch. At the end of the day then Sundered: Eldritch Edition is one of them rare games that manages to reach expectations and then some. It’s a game that has without a doubt had a lot of love and effort placed into it and this does make the gameplay stand out quite considerably and if you’re a fan of these types of game’s then you owe yourself to get this. Two thumbs up for sure!    … Expand

    Criminally underrated Metroidvania.
    The only two flaws in this game are a lack of a refined save system, and an enforced gender role for the protagonist. That second complaint is rather insignificant.
    There are difficulty options for all skill levels. The controls are responsive. The artwork and audio are exceptional. The story is... interesting at best, and practical at worst.    Criminally underrated Metroidvania.

    Ultimately the best selling points are the up to 4 player local co-op, and the "alignment" choices for your abilities to upgrade into. Massively unique aspect, criminally overlooked for... I honestly don't know why... I guess because people would rather play Ori, or Hollow Knight which are drastically inferior in almost every way.    … Expand

    Es un juego bastante divertido pero el hecho de aleatoriedad en algunas salas, convierte la experiencia es algo frustrante si no has nivelado bien al personaje. Lo cual puede cortar el ritmo, pero se compensa con su apartado grafico, sonoro y jugable.

    Sundered is a game that is able to constantly give players that “one more time” feeling by providing multiple ways to overcome its many hurdles. When you die, you know that you’ll almost always be coming back stronger to tackle the obstacles that are put before you, whether it be a seemingly undefeatable boss or an unforgiving location full of hard-hitting enemies. Some deaths can be chalked up to procedural generation forcing you to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the gong sounds, but those moments become less and less bothersome as Eshe is continuously upgraded through the satisfying and fulfilling gameplay loop.

    Sundered: Eldritch Edition is addictive and fun. Together, that makes this game really great. It doesn’t execute things as brilliantly as Symphony of the Night (but what game does?), but it will absolutely be in the conversation of recently released excellent Metroidvania’s for years to come.

    While Sundered: Eldritch Edition is not without its faults here, the new additions thanks to the Eldritch Edition are welcome. The new co-op mode is intense and it adds a bit more replayability to the mix here. Sure, the longer you play through the single-player experience, the more it all begins to feel the same, but the graphics certainly don’t hurt your eyes, and the music lends credence to the ancient religious themes throughout, adding depth to the atmosphere as well. If you’ve been waiting to kick start the new year with some 2D metroidvania platforming action and you’re looking for freedom to explore without instruction, Sundered is one to keep your eye on.
