Critic Reviews for The Mummy Demastered
It's more an unofficial Castlevania game than a movie tie-in, but if you can handle the high difficultly level this is an effective substitute for the real thing.
The Mummy Demastered is an attractive side-scrolling action game from WayForward that tries to makes the most of a gloomy license.
Those complaints aside, I enjoyed my time with The Mummy Demastered from near beginning to end. (My initial playthrough took four hours but I still have half of the 50 optional "relics" to suss out.) This game doesn't do anything meaningfully new or original for metroidvania fans, but everything here is solid and WayForward got the fundamentals right... in a licensed Mummy adaptation, of all things.
A decent blast of fun let down by a slew of frustrating elements
Whether or not you care for Tom Cruise's ill-advised Mummy movie, The Mummy Demastered is still worth a look.
Despite some questionable design choices, The Mummy Demastered is a fun game, imbued with good exploration and action moments, in a perfect metroidvania dress.

For being mostly video game fodder the general enemies are at least interesting.
This might be the first time I think the license here might actually be doing the game harm then the game itself.
