The Messenger

There is a lot to say about this game, but for anyone reading this, I'd rather they play it and discover what a gem it is.

great game a true example of how a platform game should be its fun but not to easy and has a real charm great writing made me laugh out loud highly recommend the messanger .

The game is relatively short - expect 10h of gameplay for an average player. But oh boy is it good side scrolling action. And that rockin' sound track!

I don't usually write reviews buy this game is great, it's challenging, it has funny dialogues and characters; and the best of all is that it has the BEST chiptune music since megaman 2. Just get it already!

Took me about 23hr to beat it, some bosses and power seals took me like 20-50 deaths - and I absolutely loved it xD. First period of the game was very beutiful and I haven't even realized what have changed after transitioning to the 16 bit - until going back and seeing how much pretier the 16 bit is when going between them both xD Some levels are complete bs and require superb button mashing - between the two small sections of the late game levels that I hated/loved the most I probably spent 100+ lives... P.S. I'm not sure if I can call the later part a metroidvania. There was backtracking, puzzles and keys and even one power up (boots) but I don't think it captures the essense of the genre. Don't take me wrong, I absolutely loved this section of the game, but it reminded me more of the resident evil rather than metroid or hollow knight...
