MediEvil Reviews
A gorgeous display of creative affection for a series limited by its original console confinement.
MediEvil finally makes the transition from PS1 to PS4 in a spectacular new remake that fans have been clamoring for. The Tim Burton-esque beauty and clever gameplay has held up incredibly well for a twenty-year-old game but some precarious camera angles and clumsy combat keep the game from perfection.
It is skeleton from cabinet of Playstation. Still charming, but mostly for old players, maybe accompanied with children.

MediEvil on PlayStation 4 is history that repeats itself. An independent developer who has an idea or a mission big enough to make them overcome the low budget with creativity and love for their work. A faithful remake with interesting solutions to make an old game live in 2019, but also with limitations that stop it to be the best one on this generation. It’s also doubtful that this game will be able to draw new players because of its inexperience and rigidities that directly came from the 90s. But this MediEvil remains to praise because it brings back not only Sir Dan, but also his message: sometimes motivation could everything you need to achieve something great. Because in the end we are all Sir Daniel Fortesque.

Slaying monsters, fighting huge bosses, collecting the secret chalice in each level and making my way to Zarok. I happily did all of this and got the games Platinum in one sitting because MediEvil is as much fun today, as it was when I was a kid.
MediEvil shows that it's possible to take a classic and completely remake the look from the ground up but still make it feel as it once did two decades ago.
As a remake, MediEvil does exactly what it wanted to achieve and has brought Sir Dan’s adventure back to life for a new generation to experience. It is a game drenched in nostalgia that doesn’t shy away from what it is, all delivered with a beautiful and colourful new coat of paint that fans of the original and newcomers will enjoy.
To weigh the imperfections and those of the different aspects that can trace the facts of the citizens of other cities, another ocean revives the Kingdom of Gallowmere paying attention to this great title in its day.

The MediEvil PS4 remake is a faithful recreation of the original PS1 game that makes significant gameplay and visual improvements.
This remake of MediEvil is of high quality, both in terms of graphics and sound. The work on the music is excellent and it is a pleasure too travel again through Gallowmere landscapes with Sir Daniel Fortesque.

All in all MediEvil PS4 is a solid, well-made remake that is a Halloween treat for longtime fans thanks to its remarkably improved sounds and visuals.
There's something really special about MediEvil getting a well-deserved remake beyond the visual and audio glow-up. It provides the title with a chance to break out of the confines of relative obscurity to reach a wider audience. MediEvil deserves all of this and more with its fantastic tone, entertaining characters and story, excellent level design, and stellar pacing, even if a few issues hold it back. If you haven't played it before you'd be doing yourself a disservice by not giving it a go, and if you have played it before, rejoice in Fortesque's skeletal embrace.
Sir Daniel Fortesque looks great after so many years; for players looking forward to jumping back into those bones, they surely won’t be disappointed.
MediEvil is a rare bit of whimsy from modern Sony, and so while it plays a little bit too much like an artifact of yesteryear, it still got me smiling.
Developer Other Ocean Emeryville captures the heart of the original classic with re-recorded orchestral music that swells dramatically alongside the sounds of crows and thunder cracking under a gloomy night sky. The graveyard, castles, gargoyles and even your one-eyed protagonist, Sir Daniel Fortesque, all look fantastic.
Sony has once again chose the right horse to bet on. Modernizing the legendary MediEvil has simply been a great idea and the title hasn't lost its magic even after the two decades since the original game came out. Sir Daniel Fortesque has never looked better and his adventures have never played better as well.

We've seen so many remakes over time. Many successful, but others to be completely forgotten. MediEvil 2019 contains no news, but despite everything is cool, pleasant to play. The developers have brought back to life, in 4K, a game that has nicked the hearts of gamers and left a permanent mark.

A remake of the original MediEvil with something more. Perfect for the fans, good enough for the newcomers.

MediEvil presents itself on the ps4 as solid remake that probably won't draw some new fans to the classic psx game but will definitely please every fan of the original. The new character and level models look amazing and make for the biggest changes together with some new recorded dialogues

A new coat of paint can't inherently fix all of the issues with the original, but anyone with an open mind for kooky mascot platformer action will be pleasantly surprised with MediEvil.
