CONVERGENCE: A League of Legends Story Reviews
Convergence has a superb artstyle with a very engaging narrative, it just didn't do anything different to make this game stand out from the many metroidvanias in the market, but the thrilling story of Ekko and the polished rewind gameplay mechanics made this all worth it

The delicate balance of maintaining health and on-hand energy charges throughout grueling combat situations makes CONVERGENCE: A League of Legends Story a challenging and immersive adventure that'll compel you to fully explore its imaginative world.
Convergence: A League of Legends Story doesn't propose any innovative ideas, but it implements the existing ones so well that they add up to an excellent metroidvania game, guaranteed to please fans of the genre.
CONVERGENCE was a surprise. As someone that isn't too keen on League of Legends lore, the game commits to a balance between Lore fans and newcomers with a lot of success. For a Metroidvania, the exploration is pretty straight forward and quite simple if you're looking for a deeper experience in the Genre.

All told, Convergence can be beaten in just a few hours, but it offers a lot of replayability and additional exploration which I think is fantastic.
Convergence doesn't revolutionize anything in a genre that has seen almost everything before. Despite this, the game introduces some interesting elements without ever fully exploiting them. You don't have to be the biggest League of Legends fan to appreciate what's happening on screen. And for the price, the game offers a good lifespan without prolonging it for nothing. The platforming phases are the best part, unlike the combat phases, which are harder to follow. Maybe it's my age too. I'm getting old.

CONVERGENCE: A League of Legends Story is a Metroidvania that fails to leave its unique identity and goes far from becoming an unmissable experience, but it would be wrong to say that the title is not quite pleasant for what it is. With an interesting cast of characters, a vibrant and different aesthetic and a series of moments in which the gameplay is quite creative and competent, it is not that difficult to recommend the title for someone looking for a new game of the genre for their collection. Performance issues on the Switch and a certain amount of thematic repetition during gameplay can get in the way, but they are not strong enough reasons to prevent most players from testing this adventure.

The game plays very much like any other action-platformer in the vein of Castlevania or Metroid, but the time-manipulation gives the game that extra special charm, to set it apart and make it a new and interesting gameplay experience. While the game was enjoyable, some of the platforming was very tight and finicky/precise.
Convergence is an excellent blend of 2D parkour platforming and brawling with appeal even beyond fans of League of Legends
Convergence: A League of Legends Story, inspired by the League of Legends universe, met with the players.

Convergence: A League of Legends Story delivers an immersive and satisfying adventure with plenty of room for personalization and offers an enjoyable and engaging experience that knows exactly what it needs to be. With its polished platforming and combat mechanics, customizable difficulty options, and a captivating storyline set in the League of Legends universe, it has much to offer both fans and newcomers alike.
CONVERGENCE: League of Legends Story stands out with its dynamism and agile pace. Ekko's journey through Zaun envelops us with its elaborate platforming stretches, exploration moments, and frantic combat. Time manipulation mechanics, like being able to rewind a few seconds of action and a slowdown bubble, bring identity to the game and have some interesting uses. Even with qualities, it lacked a bit of boldness: the elements of temporal alteration are explored in a very basic way, leaving the challenges a bit repetitive. Furthermore, the League of Legends universe is lazily adapted, with a predictable plot and underdeveloped characters. To make up for it, the setting is neat with beautiful visuals and great voice acting. In the end, CONVERGENCE is a competent, fast-paced platformer.

[Convergence is] fast, frenetic, fun, well thought-out, and has slick controls. Apart from some screen positional & focal point issues (along with some default difficulty issues), everything else about publisher Riot Forge's first foray into segmented 2D platforming with time-bending mechanics is golden.
It’s hard to think of anything negative to say about CONVERGENCE. The game was clearly made with a lot of love, which shows both in the way the game plays and the portrayal of the world it’s in. CONVERGENCE: A League of Legends Story shines as the gold standard of what a platforming title should be.
