Late Review

ReSetna presents an interesting proposition with its dynamic combat, exploration in a sci-fi world and metroidvania-inspired mechanics, but its quality ends up being hampered by technical flaws that compromise the gaming experience. Although the title has received updates that improve performance and fix some issues, there are still unfinished elements that prevent the game from reaching its full potential.

It's an metroidvania game alright. Not a bad one, but not a great one either.

Overall, ReSetna is a solid metroidvania with smooth and satisfying traversal, challenging combat, and overclocked art direction. It’s just unfortunate that it is hampered by some lacking UI/UX, awkward pacing, a simple narrative clouded by obtuse world lore, and a couple frustrating boss fights/gameplay sequences. I think metroidvania fans that can overlook these flaws will have fun with ReSetna, and I see it a strong foundation for a sequel. While the game may not have the grace and efficiency of its protagonist, it still fulfills its directive.

For a first title from the studio, ReSetna is a well-executed project, with satisfying combat, a simple but well-structured story, and a captivating setting. The game competently portrays a fragmented post-apocalyptic world, but its technical issues compromise the experience. It's frustrating to see the game's potential overshadowed by avoidable flaws, and the lack of polish in some aspects hinders the player's enjoyment. If the developers can fix these issues, ReSetna could become a worthy addition to the Metroidvania genre.
