    RetroRealms Arcade is a great double feature of platformers that is an easy recommendation to horror fans, platforming fans, and is a must play for both.

    RetroRealms Arcade offers a nostalgic trip for fans of retro platformers and horror, but its punishing checkpoints and clunky controls may frustrate some. While the character-switching mechanic adds depth, the content feels a bit thin for the price. Still, the love for the source material shines through, making it a cautious recommendation.

    It looks beautiful and has some great midi-style music, but is let down by a gameplay loop that simply doesn’t hold up.
