The Legend of Arzette
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore is an uniqe experience. Usually when a game is a spiritual successor it is inspired by timeless classic. In this case Seedy Eye Software decided to pick Link: The Faces of Evil for the CD-i as their source of inspiration. Thankfully it is much more polished and fun than this infamous The Legend of Zelda title.

Fun, But More Difficult Than You Think!
Due to the mass popularization of games like soulslikes and roguelikes, it might be easy to dismiss Arzette as a rather easy game. Sure, on casual it might be. However, on the normal difficulty the game is indeed a bit more taxing. Sure, you don't have lives or continues, but the enemies will still find a way to become a thorn in your side. Almost every one of them has some sort of projectile homing attack as well, especially when they get the shields a bit later in the game and you'll need to use a special weapon to even be able to damage them. So it isn't exactly a cakewalk, even though it might not be quite as difficult as some of the souls type games of today. There's also quite a bit of platforming, though so far nothing too crazy in those regards. Despite it's CDI influenced silliness, which is right on the mark if you'd ask me - this is a game that greatly encourages exploration. You'll be looking at every nook and cranny, while making sure you have enough bombs, lantern fuel and rope, because these areas are much larger than you think they are and several are walled off with by magic tapestries, which can only be destroyed by the sacred candles that you'll see littered throughout the map. There are also hidden coins and other such secrets, so there's quite a lot to see here. The fact that there was just so much hidden in each area is what kept me playing, eager to explore newly opened areas as well as going back to make sure I didn't forget anything in previously explored ones. Even though I thought I'd at least explored half of the game, within just two hours I found that I had only explored a mere twenty percent of it! So there's quite a lot here to find for players willing to do that level of exploration.

Solid
They actually build a decent metroidvania around those cutscenes. With everything form the art to controls to structure evoking those old games, it's a bit of a bummer the two difficulties available from the start are so laughable easy. This isn't an exaggeration, you literally have unlimited lives and continues, and if you die you get set back like half a screen and healed to full. On "casual" the enemies even drop health, so if you generally heal back the damage you took right after. It really feels like "heroic" and onward were the intended way to play. Nonetheless, if you try to get a 100% on your first run without looking things up you get a good 5-6 hours out of it, later you are looking at about 1-1,5h per run. The only real big criticism would be that it's often impossible to distinguish between foreground and background, but even that is true to the source material

This is what all true gamers strive for!
By taking inspiration from the infamous Zelda CD-i games, Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore asks a question: can the most terrible games in existence be salvaged into something decent?... And after playing it, I can say the answer is yes! Arzette's premise is pretty brilliant. By emulating the non-linear design and gameplay style of those terrible games but implementing them properly, it actually makes for a fun platforming experience. It's all pretty basic metroidvania stuff, but it works well and is satisfying enough. Death comes quickly but has little consequence, meaning that it's never too frustrating. The controls feel slightly rigid at the start, but when you start getting tired of the gameplay or frustrated with the mechanics a new combat or movement upgrade will come to shake things up, meaning that the game only gets better as it goes on! Of course, Arzette revels in the aesthetics that made its predecessors so notorious. The cutscenes look like they're animated with MS Paint, and they’re so gloriously unhinged I completed every secondary quest just to see them all. The levels are painted by the same artist as the CD-i games and look pretty damn good - a reminder that behind the scenes, even bad games still have talented people doing their best! So Arzette is a much, MUCH better game than its inspirations... But not uniquely great either. I'm not of a fan of the constant backtracking: there are only 15 levels, but you'll need to replay them over and over again to open new passages with your latest items, hoping you'll stumble on something relevant to your current objective! A frustration that could have been diminished with, say, the possibility to teleport to checkpoints, or just a map or log keeping track of locked areas. Despite this issue, Arzette is a very fun and funny romp. It’s a loving tribute to terrible games, a piece of art that deeply believes that even the worst dumpster fires still have redeemable and inspiring qualities. It's worth a buy!

Really Fun!
A great, little metroidvania. Not very long but lets be real here, the major selling point here are the cut scenes. If you know what this game is referencing, you're going to have a good time.
