    Infernax it’s a fun metroidvania, with a very classic feel to it, but which falls flat in terms of complexity. Yet, i would recommend playing it on Game Pass.

It can be very challenging in places, the music is good and it can be very gory and have explicit imagery.

    I had a great time playing this title, but the only gripe I have with it, it that it isn;t a long game and the game world is pretty small, hence the 8 rating. I managed to 100% the game in a couple of days, but I had a blast playing it. multiple times to get everything in the game. It plays like any Metroidvania with a lot of side quests to complete, earming money for spells, weapons and armour and also earning EXP to upgrade health, strength and magic points.

    If you're a fan of old school Castlevania, Shovel Knight, Zelda II, etc then this game is definitely for you.

    Hopefully, if The Arcade Crew make a sequel in the future, I hope it's much larger in scale.
