The Messenger

I've enjoyed this a lot, and I'd recommend it to any Metroidvania fans. The music and aesthetic are great, and the time-travel gimmick is very smoothly implemented. Not particularly difficult to complete to 100%, so Ninja Gaiden fans looking for a more authentic difficulty curve may be disappointed, but I don't mind. 100% completion including the DLC took me about 12 hours of gameplay. However, I will add a key caveat - there are a lot of segments, especially in the free DLC, that are... less than respectful of your time. The final boss of the DLC - while a fun tribute in of itself - is a completely different style of gameplay than the rest of the game, and the game doesn't have an option for a tutorial until after you've lost once. The race segment has no "restart" option, so the fastest way to grind for the Star Messenger achievement is to quit out to the title screen after the round lost cutscene (you can't pause during it), which substantially extends attempts (to the point that I just gave up on the achievement out of frustration with the wait).

The writting and the soundtrack is so good i dont care how irritating the platforming is hope they keep making more gems like this

jogo simples legal e dá para gastar umas horas de diversão, o ponto alto são as conversas divertidíssimas com o lojista, não deixe de curtir www.youtube.com/@PixelBomba-f5w

Messenger is one of those games that starts off simple and then completely surprises you. The pixel art, music, and humor are all fantastic even tho i didn’t like the second half of the game after it became like a metroidvania , the gameplay is what really hooked me and kept me going until i finished it . It feels old school in the best way without being frustrating. Definitely worth playing if you like platformers with personality .
