The Messenger on Nintendo Switch (dematerialized)
€ 3.99 – Nintendo
“The Messenger” is a vibrant tribute to 8-bit and 16-bit action platform games, which surprises with its narration and replayability. The game begins as a classic action-palate title, asking the player to master precise jumps and defeat enemies thanks to a sword and a boomerang.
But quickly, the game turns out to be much more than it seems. It turns into a metroidvania, offering a vast interconnected world to explore, filled with optional secrets and challenges. This transition is fluid and intelligent, and allows you to vary the pleasures.
The game shines with its quirky humor, its intelligent writing and its neat pixelated aesthetic. The soundtrack, inspired by chiptune music, is a real asset. The protagonist, a silent ninja, is endearing, and the secondary characters are memorable.
“The messenger” is a demanding, but rewarding game. He requires patience and perseverance, but offers a rich and varied experience, which will appeal to lovers of platform games and nostalgic for the golden age of video games. It is an original and catchy title that stands out in a saturated genre.
