Late Review

Pseudoregalia is a little platform gem that captures the pure essence of the genre while evolving its mechanics. Although the combat system and initial navigation may be a little rough around the edges, the title shines thanks to a movement system that is pure joy. It is a work dedicated to those who love a challenge, unguided exploration and that lost aesthetic charm of the early 2000s.

This small metroidvania has some of the best movement you’ll find in a game this year.

Pseudoregalia is truly a one of a kind game, which clearly was the result of passionate development and the unique vision of a creator. Maybe I was the perfect audience to review this game, as I am a fan of similar aesthetics and design choices (likely a result of nostalgia), but I can’t think of a single bad thing to say about this game. For the incredibly modest price of $5.99, you can pick up this standout title with a truly unique setting, fantastic visuals, fast and fluid platforming and combat tech, and a phenomenal soundtrack.
