MediEvil Standard Edition - PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4

This was one of my first games that I bought for my PS5. Luckily I only paid $12 for it but that’s an absolute steal for this game. I never played the original but I’ve heard of it and always wanted to try it out. The graphics look amazing, the gameplay is solid, puzzles are interesting and story is entertaining! That being said it is slightly dated that there are no checkpoints and pretty much anything that touches you, hurts you. However, I consider that a challenge and it just adds to the old school charm. If you are looking for an old school challenge and just an overall funny/entertaining game, Medievil won’t disappoint!

Visually this game was awesome it’s how you imagined it looked when you first played it. The story was also charming and was fun to play though. All tho the controls are dated and this was really my only major issue with it. There is a option to change it to updated controls but it doesn’t really help much. Also the camera is wonky on certain places although you can rotate usually anywhere but when you can’t it’s annoying. But all in all worth it if you want to relive it

Medievil isn't a 100% 1:1 Remake of the original PS1 game. But it's very close to that. It has very small changes that overall contains the original game intact and adds quality of life features to the game. Thought not every change I like of course. Some enemy looks that changed that I didn't like and the feeling of some weapons changes I also didn't like, but that is minor. Overall. If you played PS1 original and liked it, then you would love this Remake. However if you are new to Medievil, you should still get the game. It is a very beautiful game from colors, design and my god the music is breath taking. It has tons of different kind of enemies, bosses, puzzles, some difficulty, very unique 20+ levels, and more. I am certain even newcommers would love this game.

I will admit that I never played the original. Its camera style really reminded me of the PS1 games. Graphically it looks great. Gameplay is really good to at times clunky, my only issue is the camera which in the end its not all to bad. I recommend trying out.

While I'm a big fan of remasters I feel with this release the developers did to their best ability to update the graphics while leaving all the kinks of the original untouched. While this may sound like a good thing, however Medievil always had control issues and camera issues both of which I feel a remaster should of fixed however the problems that lie with the original unfortunately crop up here as well. The whole game just has a sloppy feel to it which is unfortunate. It sure does look fantastic thou and it's still the classic gameplay of the original. Recommended to fans only
