   Very addicting game, it does feel like an old "good times" game, so if you like the genre you're going to enjoy it. My only complaint is withVery addicting game, it does feel like an old "good times" game, so if you like the genre you're going to enjoy it. My only complaint is with the way too limited number of checkpoints, which forces you to replay half a level if you lose against the final monster. If you're getting it for free with Games with Gold, it's definitely worth a shot!… Expand

Very challenging but rewarding, precise controls, and varied enemies. This game isn't very forgiving because you're supposed to complete it in one sitting, but it is a lot of fun if you put in the effort. There are plenty of secrets hidden in the levels, and you'll learn new things about the game every time you play it. Definitely worth it.… Expand

Most of them can't recapture the day, as gamers these days aren't particularly interested in a new retro franchise. The new designers also seem to forget story and giving us an epic adventure. Instead they just go for the "Kung-Fu" 8 levels and rinse and repeat games. Which means if the game doesn't have a huge hook to get you addicted, you won't stick with it too long. I would much rather spend $59 for 100 untouched full versions of retro classics. Kind of like Nintendo did for the "remix" series. Except I want the full game, not a sample of the game as a mini game.
   
   Volgarr is kind of challenging, and kind of like a retro game, but it doesn't have any of that 80's retro addictive play. So it will probably quickly find you calling it a day. I find the upgrading armor to be annoying. 2 upgrades (clearing to a chest without taking any damage) give you a better shield, but one hit, takes your shield away. Instead of downgrading to your original shield.
   
   If I had paid for it, I would be upset. However, it was free for me as part of my gold membership and it's a decent retro game, as a freebie. Just an extra game, to give your guest something to do, when they visit. But something only someone truly interested in a new "retro" game would want.… Expand
